Re: SIms 3 on Windows 10

@omayday96  Before doing anything else, try to clear up a bit more storage on your hard drive.  While 15 GB free isn't critical, it could cause problems with Windows updates, especially if those updates try to run automatically while you have something else open.

Given some of the errors in your dxdiag, it's a good idea to run a couple of basic checks on your Windows system files.  Here's how:

• Hit Windows key-X
• Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
• Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes into the window, and enter
• The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
• After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
• Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator)”
• Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes into the window, and enter
• Post the message you receive here

If either scan doesn't run to completion, or sfc returns the message that it found corrupt files and was unable to repair some of them, stop here.  Otherwise, restart your computer and run any pending Windows updates.  Hit Windows key-i, select Update & Security, and click the button to check for updates.

For good measure, disable Origin in-game—it often causes problems for no apparent reason.  In Origin, hover over your username, select Application Settings, then Origin in-game, and turn off the setting right at the top.

If that doesn't help, the issue could be that OneDrive is trying to automatically sync the contents of Documents with cloud storage.  Either disable OneDrive entirely, or prevent it from auto syncing Documents.

Finally, there are a few Origin errors in your dxdiag as well.  If nothing else helps, clear Origin's cache, then uninstall it "the hard way."  This shouldn't affect your installed games.

Download the full installer, not the usual ThinSetup, and run it as an admin: right-click on the download and select "Run as administrator."  This is a direct download link:

Once Origin is installed, run it as an admin too.
