Hi there, I am having horrible issues with my game and cannot find an answer. I don't know enough about computers to figure this out.
I am playing on a late 2012 iMac, processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, graphics are NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M 512 MB. I previous was using Yosemite, and both games ran no problem, I have now updated to Sierra. I have not reinstalled my games as after reading comments with similar issues, this did not fix anything.
Sims 3 Issue: Won't open past the launcher. I play from the disk but have tried to access the game through Origin, which does not work either. The screen either stops with the blue square with the plumbob on it and won't open past there or will go into a black screen. I have:
I play with few mods/CC (have tried uninstalling all mods and CC, no help).
Sims 4: Plays fine but has been experiencing lagging and crashes that NEVER happened before the update. I only have the get to work EP and play with no mods.
Sims 3 - If you play the game from installed discs then Origin is irrelevant. Have you tried the basic troubleshooting step of moving out the Sims 3 folder from Documents > Electronic Arts and trying to load the game?
Sims 4 - the second post on the first page of this thread details your problem.
