It won't start

So.. Everytime i start the sims-launcher and press the play-buttom, nothing happens besides that the launcher just closes.
But nothing else happens, and i have no idea what to do.

I really don't want to uninstall everything (i have tried to start it in the sims 3-folder but it doesn't work either).

Any solutions? D:

  • Have you tried bypassing the launcher and running it off the exe file?

    Depending on your system, try looking here: C:\Program Files(x86)\Electronic Arts\TheSims3\Game\Bin\TS3W.exe

  • I am also experiencing this problem.  It just started in the last 24 hours.  Before this, my game was running fine.  I don't have any mods and am very careful about what I download to my computer.

  • Do you have Virus software running when you start the game?

    If you happen to have Bitdefender, there is part of the software you have to turn off.  I am not sure if the other virus software has the following settings.

    There is a setting in Antivirus called "Active virus control".  This has to be turned off for Sims 3 to load after the launch screen.  This setting will also prevent you from installing any downloads when you are in the Launcher Menu.
