Red Xs where files should be

@MsTeddybear1

If I remember correctly, you mentioned that you couldn't play Sims 3 either?

Try these troubleshooting tips:

1. Repair Game:
In Origin > Game Library - right-click on Sims 3 and select Repair. - To make sure the install files and such are in working order.

2. Clear the game cache:

From inside the Sims 3 folder [\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3] delete these files: (These will be regenerated next time you play.)

CASPartCache.package; compositorCache.package; DeviceConfig.log; scriptCache.package; simCompositorCache.package; Sims3LauncherLogFile.log; Sims3Logs.xml; and socialCache.package

3. Sims 3 Factory Reset

Move or rename your current Sims 3 folder to Sims3Backup. Launch the game and play a new save. If it's not working, don't save.

However, if everything is playing okay then start putting the files back. (list of files and folders below).

-- Folders:

- DCCache Contains all installed Custom Content/Exchange/Store items that you installed through the Launcher.
- Downloads and Exports - Files you want to save = Sims/houses/commercial lots/store content
- Saves - Game File Saves
- SavedSims - Raw Sim people Files that you'll find in the Sim Bin
- Screenshots - Photos taken in-game using the C key.
- Recorded Videos - Videos taken in-game using the V key.
- Mods - Game mods and custom content

-- Files:

* Options.ini - Video and game options
* userPresets.package - Saved patterns/textures/colors
