@pigsquiggle Yes, you do need to launch the game once to update deviceconfig, although you can quit at the Main Menu. It's probably a good idea to load a new save though, just to see how things look.
If the "all files" option doesn't help, we can try something else.
Okay, that might be why the log is not displaying it. Now, I have a new problem, when trying to launch the game it won't start. The launcher will come up, but when pressing the play button nothing happens. After this I checked my deviceconfig and it is completely empty, not even =options=etc, comes up. I tried launching the game ts3.exe file but still nothing. When closing the launcher via the tray, an error comes up saying that the upload is in progress, am I sure I want to continue? I've checked the task manager and no apps are running apart from the task manager window. I'm really sorry, I feel like I'm going in swings and roundabouts here.

@pigsquiggle The launcher running in the tray error has been a known issue for almost two years now, and it affects Windows disc and Steam installs. The quick and dirty, and temporary, fix is to delete Sims3Logs from your user data folder. It will regenerate the next time you launch the game, but that first time, you won't get the error.
Just to cut out other sources of error though, please restart your computer and then try to open the game from TS3W.exe, with the W. (TS3.exe only runs the Origin/patch 1/69 version of the game.) If it doesn't work, put back your original .sgr files, or else run the Super Patch again to restore them to their default state.

Hi, before I replaced the files it worked fine again, after editing them an then copying them into the folder the error with the launcher occurs. I have tried to delete the sims3logs and it still wont launch. I have also tried restarting my computer a number of times and using the TS3W.exe doesn't launch the game either. Currently repatching again.
