I ran the scannow and the message I got after it finished is Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at windir\logs\cbs\cbs.log. For example C:\Windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log. For offline repairs, details are included in the lo file provided by the /offlogfile flag.
It didn't work, but I got an error message when I tried the last step. It said it couldn't find the .NET 3.5 framework files and gave this error: Windows couldn't complete the requested changes. Windows couldn't find required files to complete the requested changes. Error code: 0x800F081F. When I clicked the link that took me to the error page, this is what I found:
Error code 0x800F081F
This error code can occur when an alternative installation source is specified and one of the following conditions is true:
- The location that is specified by the path does not contain the files that are required to install the feature.
- The user who tries to install the feature does not have at least READ access to the location and to the files.
- The set of installation files is corrupted, incomplete, or invalid for the version of Windows that you are running.
To fix this problem, make sure that the full path of the source is correct (x:\sources\sxs) and that you have at least Read access to the location. To do this, try to access the source directly from the affected computer. Verify that the installation source contains a valid and complete set of files. If the problem persists, try to use a different installation source.
I read on down and found the fix.....but when I read it, it was like Greek to me.
Resolution for Windows 10
Error code 0x800F0906, 0x800F081F, or 0x800F0907
To fix the error codes for Windows 10, follow these steps:
Download the Windows Media Creation tool, and create an ISO image locally, or create an image for the version of Windows that you have installed.
Configure the Group Policy as in Method 2, but also follow these steps:
- Mount the ISO image that's created in step 1.
- Point the Alternate source file path to the ISO sources\sxs folder from the ISO.
- Run the gpupdate /force command.
- Add the .NET Framework feature.
@ItsMarmy The first step is to create a Windows 10 ISO. Go here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Download the Media Creation Tool, which will allow you to create an ISO, but you're not going to burn it to disc. Instead, close the MCT, right-click on ithe ISO, and select Mount.
Now search for "Command prompt," and choose the "Run as administrator" option. (This is critical: you need admin rights.) Enter this command:
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:X:\sources\sxs
Replace the X in the above command with the drive letter of the mounted ISO; you should be able to see the letter in a File Explorer window.
Once the ISO is mounted, you can run the gpupdate /force command and add .NET Framework 3.5.
YES!!!!! I got it fixed so my Sims 3 runs now. Thank you SO MUCH Puzzlezaddict. Your guiding me through the parts I didn't quite understand helped me SO MUCH! May the fleas of camels infest your enemies!! And may YOU have a blessed day. You are awesome.
@ItsMarmy That's great to hear. Have fun playing.
And... the fleas of camels? I hadn't heard that one before.
It was supposed to be the fleas of a thousand camels but I thought that might be a bit too many fleas. 😃

Wonderful it's fixed for you @ItsMarmy. Please give the posts that helped some love with pressing the XP button under them.
Since it's sorted for you now, I'll lock this thread. It's quite significantly necro'd. ^^; Future readers, if you find you're encountering a similar issue, please take a moment to read through the advice shared in this thread. If that hasn't helped, feel free to pop open a new thread.
Thank you,
