Re: Sims 3 won't open: Alder Lake (Intel 12th-gen) CPU
@stikuh13 I've moved your post to the master thread for your particular issue. Specifically, your processor doesn't load the game correctly, a problem with all 12th-gen Intel CPUs. You can get around this by limiting the game to one CPU core while it's loading. One option is this PowerShell script another user posted:
Another option is using Process Lasso to limit the game to one core, then closing Process Lasso once your save has loaded.
