Does everything include the things listed here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-There-was-an-error-during-Startup/td-p/65390/ ?
Hi. I have tried everything on your list and it still doesn't work. I get the same message. What do I have to do? I Windows 7 64bit if that is any help. There is nothing wrong with my graphic card. Please find a solution.
This is a frustrating issue, but I suggest that before you spend hours un-installing re-installing and messing around with your registry and such try clearing the game cache files first.
1) Go into your main boot drive and go into the Users folder - find the folder matching your account name and go in.
2) Once inside go into: Electronic Arts / The Sims 3 / DDCache
3) Delete missingdeps.idx
Then finally, cross your fingers, and try running the launcher after this. Good luck!
Doesn't work
I was just about to give up and tried your solution. Thank you! This worked for me. For me it was under Libraries/Documents/Electronic Arts. Now it lets me go to the launcher to update the game.
Mine was under Libraries/Documents/Electronic Arts but then when I click on the sims 3 game there is nothing in the folder.
Any ideas? What do I do?
The same thing happened to me, and this really helped!

i tried that and it still says it does not work
I honestly have to say that
1. I sadly cannot help you
and 2. you're at the wrong spot to ask for your problem, since this is a thread about mine. You have to make a thread of your own.
Good luck! And hopefully you won't be so unlucky like me.
Oops, nevermind my first reply!! I've opened the wrong tabb with the same thread name... the one I thought I was looking at was mine, but it is not.
Sorry!
