Found a possible fix! I tried everything in this thread and had no luck - until I looked through the registry more thoroughly. If anyone sees this and nothing has helped: there may be more folders with the same name that has extra packs in them, only they won't be in the same sub folders so they're easy to miss. What I did was uninstall all packs + the base game, then I went into the registry and deleted the folders as described earlier in the thread. After that I scrolled down further and found another folder named "sims" where one pack remained, so I deleted that as well. I also went into Origin Games and deleted one expansion pack that had 'dd' in the name, BUT!, before I did any of this I made sure to export/copy the folders to my desktop (right-click, chose the export option, name file and save) so I had backups just in case. I would advise you to do the same. Now the launcher starts for me just fine 🙂
Literally none of these solutions have worked for me :'(
Done everything on this thread, including clearing the registry of anything sims3 related before re-installing etc.
I still get this Error message. No idea why, because it worked fine a few months ago.
Log is completely blank......
HELP :'(
My sims4 has done the same as well, not sure if it's related...
@y6o539nsfr4 Since this error is affecting multiple games, this is likely a system issue. So it would be helpful if you could run a dxdiag and attach the results to a post here. That will show information about a lot of potential problems at once.
