    Your computer is a bit low in specs both RAM and CPU wise.

    Did it run with the expansion and everything before ?

    You should also check for newer graphics drivers.

    What is your base game version right now ?

    Open the launcher and check the number in the lower left corner.

    If you're not at 1.67, please update your game.

    Manual links can be found here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Patch-1-67/td-p/67858/

      Thanks Crin!

      I did run the game with expansions on this computer before - but it's had a couple more years wear and tear and I've been doing some web design so could be those programs are eating up space.  I'll look into that.

      I actually can't get the launcher to open - it's opened for me a couple times but after being triggered to by downloading something from the exchange.  And it doesn't open consistently that way either. 

      I think that it may be updated to 1.67 at this point, but I will check if/when I get the launcher to open again. 

      Sounds like the biggest potential problem you're seeing is low on RAM/CPU, and possibly inadequate graphics drivers?  I remember updating the drivers for this game before, and my husband added more RAM to this computer.

      Too bad - Sims 4 sounds pretty exciting but it may be quite a stretch for me to buy a new computer for one game.  Still, gotta love our Sims!  🙂  Thanks again!  Guinevere

        Specs for Sims 4 are not out but I hear they don't want them to be too high. We'll see.

        -----------------

        Try bypassing the launcher as described here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714/

        This is just for testing purposes to see if the game itself works.


        If you bought the base game after September 2012, this method will not work.
