Playing on windows and the graphics setting in game were low. When I changed them to high (changed it at main menu then saved and quit) and relaunched the game I cannot enter a world I get this error “A serious error has occurred while loading ‘sunset valley.world’. It is strongly recommended that you restart the application”. This happens with every world I have, it’s definitely related to changing the graphics setting in game because when I regenerate a new ‘The Sims 3’ file it can load but the graphics return to the lowest setting. I know my computer is capable of running high graphics but I’m at a loss for what to do. I thought maybe it wasn’t recognising my graphics card? But I’m unsure about that, I checked device config and it says for my graphics card found 0 matched 1, i dont know what that means. I have no mods or cc just a few ep’s. Any help would be appreciated!

hello, i have the same problem and when i relocate the whole folder, the sims is working, but my previous households get deleted so i have to start playing with creating a new family over and over. its a two-tailed situation - either i can play sims 3 but only with starting a new family to which i later cant get to or the family (which i created earlier) is there but the serious error about restarting the application pops up so i cant play with that family. hope its understandable, english is not my motherlanguage🙂
@bozalkova3 Are you saying that even a new save can't be loaded again later? Does your computer run Windows or macOS, and do you have OneDrive or iCloud Drive, respectively, running on your computer?
Yes, even a new game cant be played or loaded because of the error but you can see the household between other ones (it is also saved in folder on pc). My pc runs Windows 10 and I have Onedrive.
@bozalkova3 I've moved your posts to a thread about this error in Windows since the other thread was old and the original poster had a Mac. OneDrive may be the issue here, so please try pausing syncing. To see the option. right-click the cloud icon in the lower-right corner of the screen, or hidden in the Tray (^ icon).
