SIMS 3 WONT LAUNCH WINDOWS 11

Thanks so much! 

Will any of that do any damage to my PC? sorry im just paranoid as its new

@LUCYW0708  Nope, none of these has the ability to damage your PC.  At worst, you might have to run a game repair to fix a corrupt Sims 3 install, but even that would be unexpected.

Weirdly I have updated it and the problem is the same but an empty black tab opens up entitled:

CProgram FilesElectronic ArtsEA DesktopEA Desktopcompatibility32EADesktop.exe

I also keep getting this notification in the loop that it is deleting files which im not sure if thats normal so ive attached a screenshot of the bin where they're all going, assume its not important data

I will try the one core thing

thanks

@LUCYW0708  The console window opening with the EA App is a known issue, but you can just close the window.

The deleted files are coming from the Sims 3 user folder, and I'm wondering if OneDrive is syncing your files and then deleting what it thinks are duplicates.  The files in your screenshot are crash logs and some files the game will regenerate as necessary, so this is probably not an issue, but OneDrive might cause problems in the future.  If you're not using it for anything in particular, I'd recommend unlinking it or at least telling it not to sync the contents of Documents.
