    CharlieBarlie06​  If you had the 32-bit version, the game would never open at all, not once.  So you must have the 64-bit version installed.

    Please try playing in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop.  When you open the launcher, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you've moved but temporarily unread by the game.)  Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see how it runs, that is if you can get that far.

CharlieBarlie06​  Are you saying that you had Sims 3 installed, and suddenly it wouldn't open?  Or did you try to reinstall the game and somehow got the 32-bit version this time?  And are you specifically getting the "developer needs to update the software" error that happens with 32-bit apps?
