@bandit34 Could you please try doing a Clean Boot and then check if the issue still occurs? Also if you are running the game from Origin try running a repair on the game (right click the Sims 3 base game tile and select 'Repair Game). If the repair option does not show make sure that the game is up to date first (right click the base game tile and select 'Check for Updates').
Let us know how you get on!

Having the same issue "Error during startup check log file" just bought the game. I have literally done everything possible to try and fix it. Game still doesn't want to start. Have gone through all the FAQ on this site and others no luck ;-(

@SoIidusMD Just to confirm, have you tried the steps I posted above? Also did you try the steps in the following thread: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-There-was-an-error-during-Startup/td-p/65390?

Ive done all of that, including the clean boot. I don't have CAW or CAP installed - I've also done the tedious task of making sure no additional registry keys are present, ran CCleaner I'm always running as admin, I tried running it from several of the files in the bin folder as admin, I have it installed on my A drive ( Not C program files). I'm at a loss :-/
