@NinjaAibou707 I got that second opinion, and the only other suggestion the other person has is to try a repair install of Windows:

This shouldn't delete any of your data, but if you get to step 14 and are NOT asked to keep personal files and apps, back out and start over.
If this doesn't help, then the only good option I know of is to use the other Windows account to play Sims 3 going forward.
Hey there, so I am having the exact same issue with my sims 3. I open the launcher via the EA app and everything is fine with that, but as soon as I press play it doesn't open, but instead the EA app opens. I've tried pretty much every single method here to fix the issue, I tried cleaning out corrupt files using command promt and theres nothing else I can do beyond that point. I don't mind resetting my entire pc and removing all its contents to get a fresh start but now I've found I'm running into another issue with my brand new PC. Anytime I try and reset it, I get the following message: "There was a problem resetting your PC. No changes were made." I keep getting this error no matter which way I try and reset my PC, I've tried countless advanced methods to get it to reset but nothing is working. I have a feeling this is probably the root cause of why my sims 3 isn't playable in the first place.
