Re: Sims 4 Error Code 3

I tried this method and thank you for the help however, my game will still not stop saying "Error Code: 3" whenever I try to start it up. I removed my cc and saves as you have instructed(except for the "scratch" folder since it seemed important) but it still doesn't work and now I can't even create a new world without my mods and saves. I can make a household then when I try to move them into a town the screen shows no town, like they aren't there.☹️Anyone have an answer for this?

    I'm having the same problem! it doesnt show the worlds, everything else is fine. I tried to move in a sim and its blank... at startup, theres no error code though.

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
