    Just to make sure: Do you have a local or an admin account ? You said you don' thave full admin rights on your computer ? Does that mean it's a local account ?

    Downloaded from Origin game again. Install.
    But Windows file requires "Sims3Launcher.exe".

    How do I successfully cope with this problem?

    1) When I go to programs (x86) \ electronicarts \ thesims3 \ game \ bin
    there is only 2 files (eauninstall.ico and sims3.ico) /
    2) Copies the entire contents of the folder C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Origin Games \ The Sims 3
    in C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Electronic Arts \ The Sims 3
    3) in your programs (x86) \ electronicarts \ thesims3 \ game \ bin
    Find Sims3Launcher.ex_ and changing the extension to Sims3Launcher.exe
    4) When you run the Launcher message "Unable to find the executable file of the game"
    5) Launcher starts, but no game
    "Unable to run the game"😕mileymad:
