zombiepinupgirl The Alder Lake thread is still active enough, as it's still a problem for disc and Steam installs. However, it's not a problem for EA App installs—EA patched the game a few months ago—so that's not why you in particular can't play. I've therefore split your post into its own thread.
Please repair the game in the EA App (Sims 3 > Manage > Repair) to undo the effects of the patch.
Your dxdiag lists a number of crashes of the graphics driver, or one of them. So please do a clean uninstall and reinstall of both drivers, as described here:
Use the newest drivers Asus provides for your laptop:

If prompted, choose G614JV as the BIOS model name. Under Graphics, download the newest Nvidia and Intel drivers. The Nvidia driver is a little old but not too much, and you can update it later if necessary, but please test with the Asus-provided driver first.
The proper order of operations here is uninstall the Nvidia driver > uninstall the Intel driver > restart > reinstall the Intel driver > restart > reinstall the Nvidia driver > restart, all with your computer offline.
If you still can't play, please describe what happens when you try, including a screenshot of any error message. Please also look for new errors in the Reliability Monitor. Hit Windows key-R and enter "perfmon /rel" without quotes, and you'll see a chart of errors and updates with a column for each day. Today is on the right.
Look for an error that happened at exactly the time of your most recent attempt to open Sims 3. If you find one, double-click it to see more details, then copy that info and paste it into a reply here. If you don't see a new error, check back in an hour or so—the Reliability Monitor doesn't always update right away.
