The Sims 3 is unplayable....

I recently came back to The Sims 3, but unfortunately I keep running into constant issues.

 

The game keeps freezing, and even when it launches, I get this message:

"It looks like you have installed a game modification that is not compatible with your current version of The Sims 3."

 

I just reinstalled everything with all DLCs, and I can’t even click OK or close the error — it just gets stuck there.

 

Please fix the game and update it for modern hardware.

 

It’s ridiculous that over the years you’ve managed to break the game this badly — and the EA app as well.

 

We paid for this, and IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!!

 

(P.S.: I have NO mods installed at all, nothing. Everything used to work fine before. Specs: i7-9700K / RTX 2080 Ti)

  • AZERVS_​  What kind of install is this: EA App, disc, Steam, mixed, or some other source?  Have you tried to patch it manually?  I'm not suggesting you do so now—that would break certain types of installs—but let me know if you have already.  And have you added any utilities that are not traditional mods, or edited any of the game files?  Please list anything you've done there as well.
