Please fix the Sims 3 to be able to play on modern computers as you have done sims 1 and 2.
pinkmagic04 This is almost always a OneDrive-related issue. You can get rid of OneDrive in a specific way, as described here (the "I want to get rid of OneDrive" section):
📓[GUIDE] [PC] Managing OneDrive | EA Forums - 12636625
The guide was written with Sims 4 in mind but applies equally to Sims 3.
If you want to keep using OneDrive, or you want to test before getting rid of it, please create a new admin Windows account and try playing there. Make it local, as in, don't link it with your Microsoft account or any email address. (You can keep saying you don't have that info until you're asked some security questions instead.) You'll be able to launch the game without reinstalling it, but your previous save(s) won't be present. That's fine for the purposes of this test, and you can move over your data later if you want.
