@puzzlezaddict Hi,
I tried to do the repair install and I seem to be getting nowhere unfortunately. There seem to be countless errors popping up or it gets a bit too complicating.
If I may ask, how would I update to Windows 10? As this is now what I am looking at to hopefully resolve it.
Also, just a thought, would clearing IE cache help? As this is what the whole error process started with, the bad image error on the ieframe.dll file which then was replaced with this error message.
Thanks.
@alexmaxzac You could try clearing IE's cache, sure. It wouldn't have anything to do with the system errors you're seeing, but maybe it would help Sims 3.
Here's a good guide to upgrading to Windows 10. I'd install using an ISO or USB stick, not the direct path through the Media Creation tool.

It looks like if your Windows 8.1 product key is active, it may automatically grant you a Windows 10 license. Even though the upgrade program officially ended years ago, people report that it still appears to work.
When Windows 10 is installed, you'll need to install drivers too. Windows may find some for you automatically, but double-check that you have all of these:
There's no harm in running them all: if that driver or a newer one is already installed, Windows should tell you, and you can move on.
