Failure to Launch

I have the same problem. I thought it was cause of a saved-game problem or something else, and i uninstalled the game, lost my fave generations-save, all to find out it is STILL not working. I haven't been playing after the latest patches, because my saved-game wouldnt load past the 'Worlds' screen and now this?

I'm with you. I've purchased every single expansion pack up until the Enchanted by Nature EP, all the game packs, stuff packs, and several of the kits. I'm talking $100's of money spent on this game, and I've also been playing The Sims since launch in 2000. 

As someone who has played through the trials and tribulations, experienced the joys and frustrations of updates breaking this and that, I've come to expect some issues, but this? THIS issue? It teases me, allowing me to create a new game. I can't load a game I've already saved, but I can create a new one. Great. When I get to the world select screen, choose a world to live in, pick the home, then select "play".... it brings me right back to the world select. Over, and over, and over again. I've removed ALL mods, ALL saved anything, and gone to a completely fresh and clean install. Still, the issues persist. I'll never understand how EA is so slow to fix these kinds of problems. 

At this point, I've spent HUNDREDS - close to, if not more than, a freaking grand, on this d!mn game. I'd like to be able to play what I've spent my money on. Not sure when it will be fixed is a HUUUUGE problem, and it makes me honestly sick to my stomach.

I have a legacy save that I've spent a LONG time on - one complete with EVERY SINGLE BUILD being redone, including the NPC's being redone..... I will quit the sims for good and for forever if this becomes an issue that can't be fixed. I am to my limit, and I can't continue to support something that doesn't seem to care at all about its' player base. As someone who has been a Sims supporter since 2000, this is ridiculous.
