Sims 3 struggling to run on brand new zoostorm PC?!?!?!

Hello to those who may be reading, still on the sims 3 hype!

I really need some help as i've just reinstalled sims 3 after not getting along with sims 4 and lack of content! It all went okay for a while, I have a couple of expansions and stuff packs, but nothing that should really cause issues... I also recently installed two extra packs tonight and sims can't even load my game. It's incredibly infuriating cause the game was running so perfectly up until now, although the other night it took substantially longer to save and quit.

I've tried looking at deleting cache files or whatnot, but I have a digital download and all my files are under Origin Games/ Sims 3 - and then not that many folders or files like FAQ's describe. I'm also running windows 10 if that creates any problems, but it hasn't done up until now. ALL my content is made by Sims, no dodgy cc from all these sims sites, so I surely expect it to run okay.

Really distressed and in need of help! Will really appreciate any feedback, thank you in advance! <3

  • The launcher does indeed start, when I start the game i sometimes cannot skip the intro scene immediately, it loads quick - but when i select my save game it freezes either at the start about 1/4 of the way in or 4/5 of the way ☹️ 

    Launcher version 1.69.43.024017

    Do you have interactive loading screens turned on ? If so, try turning those off in your game options.

  • Yes, i have turned these off, i have also turned graphics down despite being on a brand new gaming pc, i have also cleared .package sims files, i have tried everything EA has suggested and still left with no resolution, have you checked your inbox? I sent you a message in addition to this question post.

    (Just saw you don't answer PM questions) I'm so stuck with this issue, losing faith in EA - big time ☹️ and the community have no answers either ☹️

    Have you tried repairing the game though Origin and a fresh user folder (aka renaming user folder or factory reset) ?
