Re: The Sims 3 will not launch through Steam

@Haruseok  If you do have a 12th-gen Intel processor, please see the accepted solution in this thread:

A Steam install would mean applying the workaround of your choice to TS3W.exe, with the W; an EA App install uses TS3.exe, without the W.

If that doesn't help, please create a new thread and attach a dxdiag.  Here's how to run one:

Since this thread is somewhat old, I'll lock it here.
