@SHADYN-72 You'll still need to find a way to limit Sims 3 to one CPU core as it's loading. That's the only way around this issue. Since PowerShell isn't working, try updating it manually, as described here:
You can try the Task Manager method if you prefer.
@Bhue Your dxdiag also shows the error associated with the Alder Lake problem. Interestingly, the two most recent errors list TS3W.exe, which is strange unless you happened to uninstall the EA App version and install from disc or Steam.
The blank launcher is a separate issue that can usually be cleared up by clearing Edge's Internet Explorer data, as described at the end of this article:
For the already running error, does it still happen with Bitdefender disabled? Is OneDrive running, whether you use it or not, and how full is it?
I tried the powershell method, mut it didnt worked, and make the same thing as the begining.
and also i tried doing it with the task manager, but also nothing happened.
im putting the dxdaig again in here.
thanks for helping!!
I tried doing it again, and luching it by the folder and not the launcher, now it seems to load the screen and it pops up a black screen that i think its the sims 3 one, but it closes in a few seconds.
@SHADYN-72 I see new errors in your dxdiag now, which at least means you've made it past the Alder Lake issue. Please try launching the game in windowed mode. Go into Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3, open options.ini, search for fullscreen , and set it to 0 (zero). Then try again to play.
If that doesn't help, please try reinstalling DirectX 9, again, exactly as described here:
