Hey
Sorry about this. I'm not quite sure what to suggest, but have you seen this? http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2013/06/black-screen-long-loading-times-and-tmp-files-in-dccache.html.
Hope it helps you 😕mileyhappy:
I'm going to go ahead and do a reinstall of the base game as you suggest, the inital solutions would be invalid for me since I JUST installed the game, and there's not even store content let alone cc, and I've just never been brave enough to attempt mods lol
Thanks! I'll get back and let u know if the reinstall worked. I'm wondering if loading the sims games before doing windows updates may have been an issue here.
Reinstalled Sims 3 base game. Now the launcher wont load at all. MEH. Back to square one.
To be precise; hitting play through origin does nothing. Selecting the desktop shortcut icon brings this error message:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\Sims3Launcher.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
Make sure the following program are up-to-date
- Origin
- Java
- Flash Player
- Adobe Air
- Windows
Did you try starting the game as administrator to see if that works or running it in XP mode ?
