Re: SIms 3 on Windows 10
@EA_Kristi Hello, I am looking back through all of these posts trying to find answers to my question..... I have just bought a brand new PC to run my sims games a bit smoother. Sims 4 worked well with...
@omayday96 I'd like to see the CBS log for sfc. Please type "cmd" without quotes into the search box, and when Command Prompt appears, click the option to run it as an administrator. Copy this line into the window, and enter.
"findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"
You'll have a file on your desktop called sfcdetails.txt. Please attach it to a post.
Hey, Please see attached the sfcdetails.txt
BTW, Happy Easter!
@omayday96 At least one of the corrupt files sfc flagged is an issue that needs to be addressed. The best way is to force update to the latest Windows build: that should replace the corrupt files outright. As with all major updates, it's best to back up your data first, at least everything you consider important. Open an Edge browser window (specifically Edge, not another browser), and go here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Right at the top of the page, you'll see the option to update to the latest build of Windows 10. Shut down all other processes on your computer, and run the update. Let me know if it fails, but this gives you the best chance of a successful update.
By the way, when did you get this laptop, and from where? It's a bit surprising that you'd have this issue on a brand new computer.
Yeah, it's pretty frustrating. I got it less than 1 month ago from Harvey Norman.
I have just manually downloaded that windows 10... I left my computer whilst it was happening but when I came back to my computer it had completed and reset to my login page. Should I be uninstalling/reinstalling origin and my games now?
@omayday96 You don't need to uninstall anything. Just test the game, and let me know how it goes. If you get more crashes, please run another dxdiag and attach it to a post. It will be interesting to see how things look now.
