The Sims 3 won't open

    @pitthamb385  Your processor isn't a 12th-gen model, but it's one of those affected by the same issue, as the errors in your dxdiag show.  Running the Super Patch would have undone the effects of Lazy Duchess's patch, so it's good that you ran it again.

    Are you currently having any issues playing?  It sounds from your posts like the game is working now, but let me know if that's not the case.

@puzzlezaddict No I just uninstalled the EA/Origin version, installed The Sims 3 from a DVD, ran the Super Patch since I have installed from discs and reapplied the patch by LazyDuchess
