    I chatted with an online advisor who helped me fix my problem. First I talked to someone who told me to:

    •  Right click on the Sims 3 desktop icon
    •  Go to properties
    •  Go to tab "Compatibility"
    •  Change compatibility mode to "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)"

    I was then instructed to download this driver update.

    After downloading this update I was required to restart my computer. I opened and started the game right after it installed and restarted on my PC. My problem (thus far) is fixed. I was able to go through create a sim successfully and enter the game with my newly made sim. I hope this helps you guys as well. If any problems come up for me, I'll be sure to post them on here. Thanks 🙂

    This has happened before too, I ended up reinstalling the game to it's original, base version where it worked perfectly, but is very limited compared to the newer updated versions ☹️
