So sorry if I post this one in the wrong section!


Lately I found out that Sims must really be hating me, like big time. So I need some help with the following:


Haven`t been playing for months and when I finally wanted to it crashed every two second and had a number of errors. I ended up reinstalling after so much problems I almost considered throwing my computer out the window from 3. floor. (actually I tried) After reinstalling everything through Origin where I bought the games (this took forever by the way, or 3 days because of insanely slow internet...) I noticed that I forgot to download and install Sims 3 Paradise - A new 3 day waiting time with this speed. and I found a copy at my computer and ended up installing that one to make it abit faster. I tested my game before installing it and it worked perfectly fine. I then added some CC and installed Paradise.

When I hit play the whole thing crashed leaving me no error. I removed my CC, updated my game manually, it loaded, but I couldn`t choose any world to play with - There was no worlds to select from. After trying several times and did something I don`t remember I got the "unofficial game modification" error. Cried a little bit and then googled for an hour finding the Ultimate fix thing following every step there, and now my game won`t load at all. Got no CC, my game is fully updated, and my computer is way over the rec.

Nothing has worked so far, and I deleted some caches after reading about it in here. Launcher also crashes 15 sec after it starts up.



Now I`m totally lost

If your game is updated to the latest game version (1.67, I think), and you don't currently have any CC...

Did you leave in the downloads while installing Paradise? They can interfere with the install, particularly if you've used the framework with the Mods folder. Also remember the Downloads folder with the Sims3pack files.

Patching the game might be a good idea as well.

I usually do a clean install (as in remove everything from the folders with the saved games and all that in it) whenever I add a new EP, because from experience things tend to go wrong otherwise.

Yes, so it should be fully updated. So I`m guessing that`s not the problem right now

And I removed all my CC, but this was after installing Paradise and the game wouldn`t work. I did use framework, but could this be the problem now since I removed it all?

My bad habit of completely editing posts after posting them... Sorry about that.

If you can't choose a new world to play with, it sounds like a bad install. Did everything work fine while you installed Paradise, or did you get any errors while installing?

And finally a tip - after an install, always do a testrun of the game before adding in CC, so you're sure the CC isn't the problem if the game doesn't want to run.
