@kadri666 Did you use ccleaner to clean the registry?
@roberta591 I don't know what exactly is the registry (mine is in Finnish) but I uninstalled and deleted the game.
@kadri666 The registry is a database that Windows uses (simple explanation). When you install an application data is collected so the application can be uninstalled. Data created by the application after installation is not known by the uninstaller. How the windows operating system works is very complex and beyond the scope of this forum. Ccleaner is a good program and is usually used to clean the registry. I use a program called Revo uninstaller (there is a free version). TS3 is a complex game and it is not unusual for entries to be abandoned when uninstalled. Most of the times these left over entries are not a problem before most of the time the program is not installed again. There is a way to make Sims 3 do a factory reset (like the first time you played) - google it so there is no reason to do a reinstall unless the core game is damaged. Use ccleaner to clean the registry. You will find being a gamer you will need some basic knowledge of the operating system especially how to keep device drivers up to date.
