Sims 3 launcher keeps crashing PC
I've tried everything including: clearing the cache new windows reinstalled the whole game checked all my drivers and windows updates repaired the game EA aren't interested in helping me so I thought I'd ask here it is doing my head in. I managed to open the game once and when I needed to restart the game surprise surprise it wouldn't open. It either opens but doesn't properly open and glitches and crashes or it flashes open then shuts itself down. I am on a gaming PC with more than enough specs to play this game so I am confused why it won't work. I've also tried removing all my mods and cc nothing makes a difference. Everything EA have told me to do I have done and nothing has worked. So does anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance.72Views0likes8CommentsHere's a list of bugs, glitches, and errors that should be fixed.
Multiple songs now loop correctly in Workshop and Remodel modes in the original MySims game—but that’s not all! A single song also loops continuously when you're at a location, such as a building (in both games) or an area (in MySims Kingdom). However, if the player leaves when the music stops and then returns to the same location, a different song will play, which also loops continuously. Even in Create-A-Sim mode, the stereo (in both games), the jukebox (in the original game), and the pause menu (in MySims Kingdom), a single track loops over. This constant looping of a single track can get repetitive and frustrating. Ideally, after one song finishes, a different track should play instead of looping endlessly. I hope this can be addressed in a future patch to improve the audio experience. The voice and audio quality for the characters, as well as the sound effects in both games, have a strange filter that makes them sound like they’re using a vocoder. I hope this effect gets removed in a future update. In the original MySims game, if you clone a block after painting it with an essence texture, the cloned block reverts its paint texture back to wood. A video link showcasing this glitch is included in the attachments. In MySims Kingdom, when the player is at Reward Island, two of the stereo soundtracks can't be heard in that area. I hope they'll fix this soon so the music plays there as intended! There are various audio bugs and glitches in both games, especially with ambient sound effects. In the original MySims game, if the player leaves the Town Square and goes to a different location, like the Forest or the Desert. The ambiance from the Town Square continues to play instead of switching to the correct ambiance for the new location. Also, in MySims Kingdom, after the player completes an island's story, the game transitions from day to night. However, once the transition is complete, the player continues to hear the daytime ambiance instead of it switching to the correct nighttime ambiance. The same issue happens in reverse. When night transitions to day, the nighttime ambiance continues to play instead of switching to the appropriate daytime sound. On super rare occasions, if a Sim gets kicked out, they will remain in town, even though they have no house. Even if the player builds a new house over the original spot, that Sim is still present in the game permanently. If a Sim is invited back after being kicked out, the house layout and furniture can come back in its default state. This results in a major item exploit as this glitch is repeatable. In the original MySims game, if you kick a Sim out, the number of occupied places on the map, counting the Sim that has already been kicked out, will not decrease. When a Sim uses a turntable in both games, the music doesn't loop after a single "DJ Booth" soundtrack ends. The same issue occurs with the stereo in the original game during the "Dance Off!" activity, as well as when a Sim plays a portable video game or a game on an arcade machine. Also, after one playthrough of the music from a portable video game or an arcade machine, the music doesn't loop, and only the sound effects can be heard. Additionally, after a single loop of the electricity sound effect used for the "Dr. F's Tubular Insanity" and "Dr. F's Tubular Madness" items, the sound does not loop again. In the original MySims game, if a Sim performs the same animation with another Sim who has the same voice type, his/her voice will either fluctuate in pitch to match the other Sim’s. Sometimes if a Sim performs an animation with his/her voice, it would settle back to the voice type's normal pitch. In MySims Kingdom, Chef Gino’s fence texture has the wrong texture. The player can't be best friends with every NPC in MySims Kingdom despite completing all of their tasks. There were still quiet voices during the cutscenes in MySims Kingdom, as well as missing character icons. In MySims Kingdom, during the final cutscene on Rocket Reef, the Simlish countdown sound isn’t heard when the rocket launches. In the original game, three of the loading screen soundtracks aren’t played during loading. In the original game, there's a creepy glitch where a Sim's head is missing! Also, two of the soundtracks used for the Fun Sims' homes don't play at all when the player's inside the Amazing Daryl's House. There's even a glitch in the original MySims game with the NPC's best friend dialogue, where the text eventually disappears and the game freezes. For example, Master Aran is the affected Sim with this glitch. (https://www.reddit.com/r/MySims/s/B0t9D3yfCQ) There are three texture errors in the original MySims game. (https://www.reddit.com/r/MySims/s/GLW3M0QUNo) 1. The wood for the lattice posts at Gino's Restaurant are using the lattice texture instead of the wood texture. 2. The green panels, one of the wall textures in the "Create-A-Sim" background—have molding halfway up instead of at the bottom. 3. In Remodel mode, the straw/grass roof swatches on the four-sided turret roof with mini tower have shadows that abruptly end halfway down the ridges. No other swatches for this roof type have shadows like this. When the player plays MySims: Cozy Bundle on the Nintendo Switch 2, the cursor moves slowly instead of at its current speed from the Nintendo Switch version of both games. That's all for now. What do you guys think? I hope all of these bugs and glitches get fixed in the next patch for MySims: Cozy Bundle.1.1KViews2likes2CommentsThe Orchard. Rustic Acres
Apologies for any errors I'm visually impaired I've just opened the Orchard, I'm working my way through the 10 days. However the screen is really slow in this area. If I switch to another area within the game its fine. But as soon as I go inside the house, the whole game lags. Thats the only way to describe it. Sims are walking slow, screen is glitchy. I've cleared cache. Any ideas? Thanks10Views0likes0CommentsWhen I open my Sims 3 launcher my log in details aren't recognised?
When I open the Sims 3 launcher on my Macbook and try to log in using my EA account details it says "Please enter a valid email address". I know the details I'm entering are correct because I can use them to log into the Sims 3 website, so I'm not sure what's wrong?Solved45Views1like2CommentsThe Sims: Vacation - no cleaning plates
Hi, I have been playing the sims after buying the 25th anniversary bundle. I built my own vacation lot, however whenever my own sims stay there the sims working don't clean up the plates, so the whole room gets filled with them. I've checked other vacation lots and have the same items, 2 dishwashers and the rubbish compactor (unsure of the proper name, but the machine version of the trashcan). I've tried putting them in different places and have added a sink which my sims can access. Any ideas on where I'm going wrong or if its a bug?57Views1like1CommentCustomer service and game bugs in The sim mob

I was in the chat more than an Hour the first guy name was Anubhav Saraswat and he ditch me to the other guy he said they know the problem and they are from the team or something like that.....obviously a lie the other two with even worst behavior they send me radom links.I cant remember or find there names . I send the first message around 11:30p.m and they close the chat around 1.59... 3 guys and none of them could say the truth or be respectful.... My two problems were that the game didn't show me offers on topjoy and second that the game removed two of my sim characters again. So if that the way that you treat as the people who support the game I will not continue playing the game and I will inform others for this. I am very disappointed .Should i share screenshot of the chats.. P.S. I uploaded the screenshot; unfortunately, you can’t see the time or the advisors’ names. When I opened the chat, I couldn’t find them. I only removed my personal information39Views0likes1CommentStill got the same typing issue with patch 8
My game automatically updated once the patch came out. I hopped into Sims 2 thinking that I would be able to type again without having to copy paste everything into any text fields. And I still have the same issue. I cannot type only copy paste into the text fields. And I have also tried all the solutions that was passed around earlier for how to fix it and nothing works. Please EA/Maxis help me hereSolved548Views2likes21CommentsSims 2 (2025 remastered/re-released version) Bon Voyage is broken
I recently discovered this bug where I was stuck on an infinite loading screen only when loading into my sim family on vacation. Unfortunately, I found a thread with a solution (which was to delete the vacation neighborhood to get my family back) that dated back to February 2025 - so, this bug (causing you to get stuck on loading screens only in vacation neighborhoods) hasn't been resolved? Is anyone else having this issue?38Views0likes0CommentsAMD CPU/GPU stuttering/lag/FPS drops in TS 2 LC? 7800X3D - RX 9070 XT
Pc specs: CPU 7800x3d - GPU RX 9070 XT - 32 GB RAM. Does anyone here using AMD CPUs/GPUs have problems with stuttering/lag/FPS drops especially when multiple sims are on screen and especially on community lots? I tried with AMD Adrenalin software but it doesn't give me any good results. I already played the game multiple hours and I want to give up. Please, EA, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!! I checked Reddit and I'm not the only one. I paid full price for this game!!!40Views0likes1CommentMy Sims Kingdom App Unplayable
I loved this game on the Wii and was so excited when I saw it in Apple Arcade. I downloaded it on my iPad A16, OS version 18.5 (the newest generation.) Unfortunately, when I reached the tutorial for using the wand, the bottom half of the screen is cut off and I’m unable to interact with any of the construction options using the wand so I haven’t been able to move past the tutorial. I included a screenshot of what I see when I try to use the wand. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app with no change to the problem. I also updated the most recent update as of December 20, 2025 also with no improvements. This is the only way that EA has given me to contact them about these issues. If anyone has any further suggestions, please let me know.11Views0likes0Comments
