Sorry for the later reply, it's essentially what the OP here has where I launch the game from the launcher and my screen goes black and then the error notif pops up and I get the white line. I used to have the screen thing happen on my laptop but it would still run afterwards.
As for the reliability monitor, funnily enough did not register the service initialization error, but did record the successful app reconfig of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable from each time I tried to launch it, I will launch it and wait to see if it'll pick the error up.
In regards to the Electronic Arts folder, I found it via the search bar, because when i entered the actual folder, I couldn't find it, I dont' see an options ini, but something i noticed is that all the files seem to be older except one which has yesterday's date.
Also would like to mention and I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I had to stop the One Drive backup a while back because it was moving and making apps unusable, since according to some apps, they should never be run from one drive or something like that and I'm not savvy enough right now to know if there's someway to exclude certain programs to not mess them up.
Lastly I'll attach an image of the sims 3 folder from the Electronic Arts folder to see if I'm missing something and have a great day!
