I purchased a refurbushed PC desktop Optiplex 780 with DXDiag 10 for my Christmas present to myself. it has windows 7. Im having some issues with the starter game pack I purchased for the sims 3. According to the instructions you are supposed to install as follows..



1 the basic game sims 3

2 Late night

3 High end





Here are the issues I'm having



game loads up after conecting to Origin and all the patches are updated..this is what happens..



within 5 minutes of playing the game locks up and I cant do anything to the sims..or build.



No I did not upload any CC

Yes these are supposed to be compatable to windows 7 (2010 version) Brand new game CD

No..Im not on a Mac

Yes..I have lots of RAM

no...I'm not bald yet..getting close to it tho



I unistalled all games, turned the PC back on and re installed the games and again same thing...



what do I need to do and why is this happening..



Now I did find a Sims 3 game I had 2009 version and so far that one is working..no CC yet has uploaded

Here is my system and the only expansion packs are what is in the starter sims 3 CD 2010

Here it is:

First off, what version of Origin/The Sims 3 do you have?
Version 9.1 of origin had some really strange glitches and some versions of the launcher would crash (if you left them open too long) or cause your game to crash (if they were open while you were playing).

Here are some things that you could try to help with your problems:

1.Open the game from shortcut (Is on desktop unless you chose not to have it).
2.Skip the launcher by going to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin.
You want to choose the application called "TS3"
3. Delete images in the featured items folder (this might speed up the game but I'm not 100% sure if it will help)
4.Uninstall and re install Origin
5.If you've noticed that this happens faster or more often with one save or world (world would be a store content world I don't suggest trying to uninstall any other worlds unless they custom or store worlds) Try deleting that save/World.
6.Copy all update versions to a folder somewhere else on your computer and and uninstall the game again, then reinstall the base game while offline place the updates back into the folder they were in, install the other ones still offline choose yes to get the lastest update, it will take a while but it will find that the updates it's about to try and download are there and install them, after this go online and install the other updates.
7.This is a last resort, but if any of the things suggested to you don't work try backing up you files and anything else you might want to keep and refresh your comuter.

I hope one of these things work. I've had some problems like that before and they're always hard to fix.

So, it's downloaded via Origin, not installed from a DVD?

Before continuing further, I suggest you try upgrading the driver for your graphics chip, and also install all Windows Updates.

Nobody is Perfect. I am Nobody. And I'm trying to make something wonderful for The Sims 3.

The reason I'm asking is dxdiag tells us what your system has, but deviceconfig tells us what exactly is your TS3 using to run the game.

Also, when you said locked up/freezing and you can't build or control your sim, can you still hear sound? And are some animations still moving? Like the plumbob still rotating, trees still waving? Or is this a complete freeze? no sound, 0 graphics moving, etc..?


complete freeze..the game installs perfectly then 5 min later..freezes..I uninstalled origin and the sims3 starter pack ( 2010 version) completely. I reinstalled origin with the sims 3 2009 with no CC as a test and this game is working. I'm just testing with the base game...no expansions, no stuffed packs. I'm getting all kinds of replies about my PC being on the low end..but Its refurbished and you can see what I have if you read above. I will be calling the place on Monday to find out further what I can do to exchange or refund. so for right now Im ok with just the base game...it is running smoothly with no problems..as for the updates they are done automatically. Is there a video card I can replace with the existing one?
