DirectX Error Sims 3
Hello everyone, and before anything else, im sorry, my english may be a mess.
Now, I know that there are already other posts concerning this topic, but I think most of them are from more than a year ago.
I could play perfectly fine two weeks ago until I started getting this message, it didnt bother me before because I could ignore it and continue playing, but because other problems that I wanted to fix I ended up uninstalling the game, and when trying to install it again, this happens:
The game downloaded fine, but when it comes to Install it, this error appears. It actually became a bother when I got the University Life expansion.
My version is DirectX 12, running Windows 10 and this is all I tried to do to fix it:
--Runnning the DXSETUP.exe from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 3\__Installer\directx\redist-- Not working
--Deleting all .cab archives from the folder and trying to run the installer like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRfCNk-DsWg -- Still not working, and getting other error.
--Running the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 -- Nope. And actually I get another error when I try this, and a part of the text is this:
I read somewhere that this happens when you try tu run a version that is not for your system, but im not really sure, It may be because what is trying to Install is the Direct X 9.0 and, as I told you, I have DirectX 12:
-- Going back to another version of DirectX-- Not working, I saw this method in a blog where you had to mess with the register, and I did, but still, not working.
--Uninstalling Origin -- Oh god, I did this more than four times and noope, not working.
-- Try to Install it while deactivating Windows Defender-- Nooope.
-- Doing a Clean Boot and running the web Installer again.-- Nooooooope.
As you can see, Im kinda hopeless at this point, I just bought the last expansion pack and well, I was saving for this and this happening gets in my nerves a little.
If you need information about my expansion packs I just have: Ambitions, Late Night, Showtime and University Life.
I truly doubt the trouble is my computer specs, because I could play it for the last two years I had this computer, so, I could use some help ;u;
Again, sorry for my english, Im still not used to write this much and in a serious way.lol.
I hope you have a nice day!
