Game not loading in worlds

Hello, my sims 3 isn't loading up any of my worlds to start a new game. I've tried restarting the app itself, uninstalling and reinstalling, and even repairing the game. Everything that I've tried doesn't seem to work and I'm confused in why it's not working.

  • AstraForest96  What exactly do you mean?  If you can select a world or save (which one) but can't load it, do you get an error, and what does it say?  Or is it that you can't see your saves at all, or the worlds you expect to see aren't available in a new save?

    Please also post a screenshot or two if you think it might help.

    The error will say " A serious error has occurred while loading 'Moonlight Falls.wolrd'. It is strongly recommended that you restart the application. " 

  • AstraForest96  Try pausing OneDrive syncing, which you can do by right-clicking the cloud icon in the lower-right corner of the screen, or perhaps hidden in the Tray (^ icon).

    If that doesn't help, let me know whether your Sims 3 user data is saving to OneDrive.  Find the user folder, in Documents > Electronic Arts, right-click it, select Properties > General, and see whether the Location lists OneDrive.  I've seen a few reports of this being a problem even when syncing is supposedly disabled.
