Sims 3 won't close
Yeah, got your attention, right? It won't *close* instead of *open* for once. Using the Alderlake patch since I have a modern system, and everything seems to work fine until I try to close the gam...

Thanks for the tip on the FeaturedItems folder! Having the permissions set to deny was a pain for back-ups, but your solution gets around that!
Unfortunately, this has been going on since I applied any mods other then the Intel and GPU patches, including messing with that folder, so the above didn't fix the close issue for me at all.
The workaround for killing Sims 3 and clearing the currentsession folder is appreciated, though somewhat cumbersome since I have to re-enable fullscreen mode every time I start the game back up.
I don't suppose you know of a way to re-enable full-screen automatically before the game launches?
@darkmage0707077 The keyboard shortcut alt-enter works for Sims 3, once the game is running. It also edits the setting in options.ini, but it doesn't change the in-game resolution. The quickest way to switch to fullscreen before you launch it is to edit options.ini to set fullscreen to 1.
For the original issue, I'd be curious as to whether this still happens if you take your computer offline before launching Sims 3. If so, you could block the connection within Windows's Firewall settings and see whether it helps.
Thank you so much! I'm going to get my batch script setup to change the flag in the ini file on game startup (I use it to clear the infamous cache files for me).
After that, I'll test your theory by disabling internet on my PC to see if that helps anything. Will report back when I can, hopefully some time later this week.
