I've tried restarting it several times and it just keeps doing it. Microsoft had me install new Windows updates so I keep checking for new ones and there's none.@xolovepink22 So each of the four times you contacted them were there new updates or were you reinstalling the same ones? I'm afraid I know nothing about Windows but I'm trying to come at it from a logical perspective 🙂 Can you remember what the updates were?

1.70 ghz is a wee bit low for running the game might be just about handle the base game not sure about expansion packs though as some can be a bit heavy on usage for loading up for example pets and seasons
(recommend is 2.40GHz BUT imo having said that it doesn't allow for expansion and stuff packs + store DLC items if any )
try right click the base game icon run as admin do the same for origin then restart the computer also you may or may not be running in comparability mode
right click the game icon -properties-tick the run this program in compatibility mode for select in the drop down menu windows XP service pack 3 click apply click OK IF you have an expansion or stuff pack installed too do the same for each icon
what is your anti virus too? BItdefender ? McAfee ?which one as that can interfere with the game running too
also the firewall can block it from running right so make sure the Sims 3 is allowed in your firewall
- 11 years agoI don't understand what you're telling me to do
- 11 years agoI remember that one of them was a Framework update. That's all I remember. I was not installing the same updates though. I didn't install updates every time I called them. They told me to uninstall one of my virus protection softwares because it was taking up a lot of space and it was conflicting with the other one I have and I guess it screwed with the game. That's what they said anyways.
