Hi I have had this issue since I built this PC a few months back and haven't been able to play the Sims 3 on my nice new gaming pc yet. Everytime i try to load a new world it says "a serious error occurred while trying to load "nameofworld.word, we strongly recommend restarting the application". I tried moving the sims 3 files and having it create new ones but it doesn't help. Through research I found out onedrive is most likely the culprit, i tried pausing onedrive but it did nothing. However, most people say you have to literally DELETE onedrive alltogether to get it to work and that is not something I'm willing to do. Any solutions that don't involve removing onedrive? I'm really desperate to able to play The Sims 3 on my new custom built gaming pc. I literally got all the other sims games working on it, and I don't mean the legacy editions, I mean the original versions. I have the Sims 1 complete collection and the Sims 2 ultimate collection running on this pc by using some internet fixes. But i still can't get The Sims 3 and it's driving me crazy, I love The Sims 3. Please help.
neoromanempire Sorry for the late reply. The info is under the spoiler, but I've heard that not everyone has every option. Still, look at all the options listed and you should find one you can try.
And again, a new, local Windows account is not linked to OneDrive by definition, so it's a quick way around all of this.
I already created a new local account and it worked but it was causing issues with other applications and shared files between accounts so i had to delete it. I need to get sims 3 working on this account. I cant change onedrive backing up to documents, the option is not available for me.
