Last night I played and saved The Sims 3 with NO problem. I have Ambitions ,Late Night , Showtime , and Seasons extension packs also. After I closed Origin, prompted me to download the new EA app...
@puzzlezaddict Thanks for the quick reply. I shut down and restarted my computer. Then I double clicked on the Sims 3 desktop icon. It loaded and played. So I guess I'll have to try different ways to open the game. Fingers are crossed... lol😀
