@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:

@Blas227 Open the EA App game library, click Sims 3, select Manage > View properties, and you'll see the install location, for example:
C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 3
Open that file path, and inside "The Sims 3," open Game, then Bin. TS3.exe will be inside. It might just show as TS3, with no .exe, if Windows is set to hide file extensions, but it's the same file regardless.
Launching the patch is as simple as double-clicking it. You'll know it's working because you'll be asked to find TS3.exe.
@puzzlezaddict hi! I double clicked the patch and when I opened the TS3 file, it didn't ask me about find the TS3.exe
