    ghido2000bis​  Please run the Super Patch to manually patch your disc install to 1.67, the latest update available.  You can download it here:

    http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/TS3_1.67.2.0240xx_update.exe

    Your browser might flag it because the URL starts with http rather than https, but you can see from the address that it points directly to EA servers.  If you can't allow the download, use a different browser.

    If you still can't play after running the Super Patch, please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

Dear puzzlezaddict​ , it worked without reinstalling. I was running the patch on my daugther account which is not an administrator. I run it as an admin and it worked perefectly. All works fine now. We thank you very much, ciao.
