Re: Origin: The Sims 3 "Black Screen" Issue (launching game)
@SenoritaMartita Try launching the game in windowed mode, which you can do by editing options.ini, in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3. Open the file and crtl-F to search for fullscreen , and set it to 0 (zero). Save, close options.ini (and the File Explorer window overall; the game doesn't like the user folder being open when it's running), and see whether you can play.
If you're already in windowed mode, you can try changing to fullscreen, although that seems less likely to work. Please also undo any compatibility mode you've set for Sims 3; the game should run fine in Windows 10.
