Sims 3 Launcher Not Working
Hello, I am really hoping I can fix this problem by writing here as I have searched for about 2 weeks now on how to fix this ☹️ I also have seen a lot of people with this problem also, but my probl...
@alexmaxzac It's quite strange that you wouldn't have either .NET Framework installed. I'd like to know what happens if you run the installer within the game's program files. Unless you changed the default install location in Origin, the full file path would be:
Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 3\install\dot net
Run the dotnetfx.exe inside that folder as an admin: right-click on the .exe and select "Run as administrator." Let me know if you get an error.
Please also let me know how the update goes. If it can't run, that may be for the same underlying reason.
The RPC Locator should not be running by default in Windows 8.1. It's only present for the purposes of backwards compatibility.
Hi,
I installed Sims 3 via disc ages ago, but for some reason it is coming up as Origin related. I am going to put the disc inside my computer and try and find the dotnet file as the game that I currently have in my DVD Drive has the dotnet file.
Thanks.
