Sims 3 won't load past launcher
Please help, I've followed all of EA's and these directions up until this point, I just can't get it past the Sims 3 Launcher. Every time I press play, it crashes and relaunches EA Desktop immediatel...
@Najjabailey Copy an old save to the new folder and see whether it loads. If it does, you can move over your other saves.
If you use mods or custom content, you'll need to test those files rather than adding them back. Some mods can cause a crash immediately after launch, for example NRaas Cupcake will do so if the Sims 3 Store bakery set is not also installed.
For more information about rebuilding your user folder, especially if Store content is involved (but even if it's not), please see this:

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I ended up making a new folder like you said, I tested to see what cc or mod was crashing my game (using the sims dashboard) and I found a sims 4 file package in my mods folder. Thank you so much for the step by step advice, I definitely will be saving this for later!
