If you do have CC, make sure to also clear your cache files.
You could even try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714/
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
I did that but I still have the same problem.
I just noticed you have an error in your internet explorer. I think there is some security issue with it. I know you can turn it off . I think I turned mine off but I cant remember where or how I did it since I have been dealing with so many computer issues on windows 8 😕mileyhappy:
Maybe someone will chime in on the IE issue and can direct you further
Thanks! I have been having a lot of issues with windows 8 too. It is a nightmare and I definitely regret getting it on my computer.
I am not having problems with Windows 8 as far as playing And there are many people who are able to play on 8.1 too. It depends on the ram and video card. Like Crin stated to you your computer is below the minimum requirements to play this game and not a gaming computer. The sims 3 was not designed like sims one and 2. The sims 3 you need a gaming computer and it takes a lot of Ram to run the game. This is probably more of your issue than anything else. IE and their security is probably not helping either. I turned mine off and I use firefox. If one were bying a new computer for the sims I would not get anything less than 8 GB ram but more ram is better.
