Hi! I'm on a windows 11. I've tried to use the DXDIAG information and it didnt work. I just bought the sims 3 and a few dlc. Generations and Seasons. It came with High-End Loft stuff and Late-Night packs, when I bought the base game. When I click the sims 3, the launcher comes up. But when I press the play symbol, nothing happens and it sends me to origin, without any reason. I never played the sims 3 before. Do u have any reason as to why this is happening?
@Blas227 The purpose of running a dxdiag is so I can read it and look for an explanation for why Sims 3 won't open. I don't mean problems that the dxdiag flags; I mean error codes and old or missing drivers and a bunch of other details. So please run one, if you haven't already, and attach it to a post here. Tag me (with the @ sign) when you do so I see it.

Hi! Sorry for being rude about the dxdiag.exe situation. Here's the link to the dxdiag.exe run I did.

@Blas227 Sims 3 doesn't start on many 12th-gen Intel processors, including yours. The workaround is to limit the game to one CPU core as it starts to load. Please see the accepted solution of this thread for more information:
Apply the workaround of your choice to TS3.exe, without the W, since you installed the game through the EA App.
