Sims 3 is not working correctly

indycutie​  The old Sims 3 site is somewhat broken right now, and the launcher's error message is one symptom.  You can ignore that for the moment—it shouldn't prevent you from playing or cause a freeze.  But I would strongly suggest restarting your computer any time the game crashes or otherwise stops working, at least before you try to play again.

For the Sims 3 issue, I don't see any related errors in your dxdiag, just a pile of Windows update errors.  It's a good idea to clean those up for the general health of your computer.  So please run a couple of basic checks of your Windows system files:

• Click Windows key-X
• Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Windows Terminal (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
• Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes, and enter
• The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
• After it reaches 100%, click Windows key-X again
• Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Windows Terminal (Administrator)”
• Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes, and enter
• Post the message you receive here

Restart your computer, open Windows Settings > Update & Security, and click the box to check for updates.  If any install, restart again afterwards.

I'm not saying this will fix your Sims 3 issues, only that it should be done.

If you try again to play and the game freezes or crashes, please look for new errors in the Reliability Monitor.  Click Windows key-R and enter "perfmon /rel" without quotes, and you'll see a chart of errors and updates with a column for each day.  Today is on the right.

Look for an error that happened at exactly the most recent time Sims 3 stopped working.  If you find one, double-click it to see more details, then copy that info and paste it into a reply here.  If you don't see a new error, check back in an hour or so—the Reliability Monitor doesn't always update right away.
