This user has the following games installed:
Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions
"Error During Startup" According To Launcher
Ok, I have the base game, world adventures and ambitions. Now, I tried to download the Weapon's System and I couldn't drag it to inventory. I tried all of the steps and it still wouldn't work. Now here's where it got bad:I deleted my whole mods folder in My Documents and Program Files. Then I tried to run the game. The screen would go black with a white outline around the screen and then crash back to desktop without an error message.
Then I tried reinstalling my expansion packs (only the expansions because I can't find Sims 3 ) World Adventures said something about a cylidrical error and it wouldn't install. Then I reinstalled Ambitions without any errors, well until I tried to load it and the black screen crashed again without an error... Apparently. Then I went into my program files and discovered that there was a World Adventures folder anyway. So, figuring it wouldn't do any damage, I deleted it .
Now whenever I try and load the game launcher to start my game it says, "There was an error during startup. Please see the log for more details." All I can say to myself is, " "
Please help me, I'm reaching the end of my rope and I'm meant to get Late Night this weekend and I can't play it if Sims 3 doesn't work in general

- Sims 3 - Uninstall
This Game_Help:TS3_Uninstallwiki link has the step-by-step instructions to guide you through uninstalling The Sims 3, and its packs (EP/SP).
If you're reinstalling because you're reverting to an older patch, or just do not want to use the Launcher/EADM to patch, read this FAQ Game_Help:TS3_Patchingwiki once through before patching and then follow the guide.

Ok, thank you heaps. I will definitely check out those links, and I will definitely register my game with EA when I do reinstall. Just in case this nasty incident happens again. Thank you~
