Re: I think I broke my Sims 3 game

thanks for the response. i removed the sims 3 folder and it worked perfectly. then i added my downloads and mods back in (without installing the downloads in the launcher) and it worked perfectly as well. then, i closed the game and went to the launcher to reinstall the custom content. once i did that, the game stopped working again. this is really weird since i removed all the downloaded content from the website and my game had been working well with the cc prior to downloading the content from the website.

    @anniedish123  The launcher doesn't always install store and custom content properly, unfortunately.  The best approach from here is probably to start with another clean folder, move you cc downloads to that folder, and install a few at a time, testing afterwards to see whether the game still works.  Each time it does,make a copy of the Sims 3 folder, which you can then restore if the launcher won't open afte the next batch of cc.  That way, you don't have to start from scratch again.

    When you have everything installed properly, or have trashed whatever files are causing problems, you can delete the previous backup folders and go from there.  I'd still keep one working copy of the Sims 3 folder though, just in case.
