Sims 3 Not working windows 11
Hi, i had this issue for a long time, since i updated my pc to windows 11, i can't play trough the EA app. If i press play in the EA app it goes to the launcher of sims 3, but when i press the play...
@SHADYN-72 Did playing while offline not help at all? Try playing in windowed mode and let me know whether it helps. I'm not saying you need to keep playing that way, only that it's a useful test.
If that doesn't make a difference, please try playing in a clean boot:
The one service to leave enabled is the EABackgroundService, which the EA App needs in order to run. Disable the rest as described.
When you reboot, go through the Task Manager's background services list shutting down anything that doesn't absolutely need to be running, for example some Lenovo software or a utility like MSI Afterburner might still be active when it shouldn't be. If you accidentally kill the wrong process and it doesn't restart on its own, just reboot your computer again. Please test while offline again, and if everything is fine, you can go back online while still in the clean boot and test again.
Okay!! i found the problem.
the problem was that i was playing just with one cpu in the sims, cause i supposed it didnt work if i put them all, but actually it worked perfectly now.!
@SHADYN-72 Right, the workaround of only allowing Sims 3 to use one CPU core only needs to be applied for the first few seconds after launch, then you can undo the setting. As you've seen, giving the game access to only one core as you're playing is not great for performance.
