Sims 3 won't work on windows 11

I just saw that Ea is running a sale on Sims 3 products but Sims 3 won't work on my windows 11 pc. Do we have a way to fix this yet? I tried to contact Ea only to find an Ai bot who can't figure out anything. just ran me in circles.

 

Is there a way for me to play sims 3 on my new pc. ?? Any help?!

  • Brand new Pc. Super amount of space for the game, etc.  I'll look into this. My Pc is brand new, so the graphics card is newer! 

  • Alright, so checked into the video card settings, did nothing.  I can't seem to get that link to open so i'll have to try and look into that another way. 

    At this point id be down for letting you link with my pc puzzle and look at it lol. I just want this game to work, and it wants to instead make me scream when it doesn't.

    So, oddly enough, I started installing the Sims 3 on an older pc and it asked for the game code. (four-digit numbers 5 in a row)

    But when I do this on my Windows 11. It never asked for that code. Could this be the problem?

    I hope I didn't stump you or give you a headache! I've been very grateful for all the help!!

    Update! I got it to play using the EA app. But now when I click open a world to play. It says a serious error has occurred, and it closes out of the world back to the main menu.  Help?
