Re: Sims 3 won't open: Alder Lake (Intel 12th-gen) CPU

My game was having trouble opening (and also installing sims3packs) a few months ago. I managed to fix this with Miaa245's Powershell script. Unfourtunately my game is troubled again and the Powershell script isn't fixing it. What do I do?

@graveyardgypsy Please repair the game in the EA App (Sims 3 > Manage > Repair), then try the Task Manager method listed here instead:

If that doesn't work, please run a dxdiag and attach it to your reply.
