Sims 3 white blank screen
Whenever I click on the sims 3 play button, it will open but a blank screen would appear. Below is a screenshot. I have to force to quit it all the time, I don’t know what could be causing this. Does...
I moved the folder to desktop and it didn't show the white screen but when I got to the edit neighborhood screen it started bugging REALLY bad like flashing. I've retried many times but it keeps happening. And yeah I have iCloud Drive enabled.
@elimaximoff Please open the new Sims 3 folder and delete options.ini. When you load the game, a new one will spawn. At the Main Menu, please turn all the graphics settings to the minimum, then quit to desktop before loading a save. Let me know whether a(nother) new save looks like the one in your screenshot.
I was able to make a save and no it wasn't flashing anymore but it was very laggy.
I also noticed that when I tried logging in (Member login) it kept telling me that the email & password was invalid which is not true because I can login everywhere else. I searched it up and a lot of ppl were saying to clear the IE cache? But I don't use internet explorer and I can't install it because I have a mac.
@elimaximoff What world are you playing in, and what packs do you have installed? How long did you play, and did it ever stop lagging?
Please also list the specs of your Mac: everything under About This Mac except for the serial number.
As for signing in, one common reason it doesn't work is if you have a special character in your password, like an & or !. But it wouldn't cause the other game issues.
I'm only playing on sunset valley for right now, and the game usually lasts 5 minutes because it freezes and I have to force quit. I have Seasons, Generations, Island Paradise, Supernatural, Pets, World Adventures, Late night, and Showtime installed for now. Also, my password does not have any special characters only numbers.
