TS3W.exe runs, but game doesn't start
I have tried everything I can think of & I'm hoping the experts here can see something I overlooked. I can run the base game by itself without a problem, but as soon as I install World Adventures, t...

Follow rums instructions above abut DEP see if that works. Your computer shoud more than play the game and I have one similar only with Nvidia and I dont have the issue you are having with the 1.67 patch. The only other thing I can think of the base game needs to be patched to 1.67 before adding eps. Your also using disc and since they added origin the disc have issues and its better to play with your download versions which you get free if you registered your discs. Im playing all downloads and not having issue. And windows 7 is supported so you should not have to run in compatibility mode. Im on windows 8 and dont have to run in compatibiltiy mode.
with your anti virus Just making sure you dont have bitdefender. Bitdefender and this game do not mix
Well, the DEP settings are at Win 7 defaults like I mentioned earlier. I had heard elsewhere to change it- tried it and then switched back.
I haven't registered my discs- I had no idea that was a thing so I'll give it a go. Will post back with results.
I'm still leaning heavily toward the patch not liking my eyefinity, but googling doesn't turn up any other similar complaints.
Discs were retail (I think from Target). No bitdefender on my system.
One of the other helpers may know the answer about eyefinity and can post back to you on that. You need to register your disc with Origin and then download the origin client https://www.origin.com/en-us/download .Open orgin client at desktop and download versions of your games should be there. If you do the download versions, you have to delete all the disc versions and get the disc version off your registry before installing the downloads. You then download the base game let it patch to 1.67 and then add eps but if you think there is a conflict with eyefinity you will know after the base game patches to 1.67 before installing ep's.
If registering your discs some how does not work you would have to contact EA for them to fix your account with registery issues.
PS Im still looking but this below was posted back in 2010 in an eyefinity compatibility thread

Sims 3Yeah, the base game works fine, on initial install I can get the highest video settings and everything looks great. It's just when I go to install an expansion, the launcher insists I install the 1.67
patch and, well, that's all she wrote....
