@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. 😃
