Game won't start.
I really could use some help. I know my computer can run the game, and i ran the base game just fine. I bought and installed the base game from Origin, and it worked fine. Then i bought a Sims 3 Generations disc, installed it and registered it on Origin.. And i was excited to play, i start the launcher and press play, it goes to a black screen, the cursor is loading. After about 20 seconds it just exits to the desktop, minimizing the game which is not responding.. What am i supposed to do here? Please help.
I've reinstalled three times and now the base game doesn't work either. So nothing works.. HELP! ☹️

In my opinion turning off UAC is not a good way to go. It lowers your security if you do. Also resetting your computer is not necessary at this point.
