For any EP or SP that you do not have currently installed, but which you previously installed, you need to remove its entries from your Windows registry. With all that installing and such, it's likely that there are odd registry entries hanging around. It's pretty frustrating that i have paid for content i haven't been able to use it.Īny help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.įirst: I know you said you already did all this so if you're 100% sure, then skip to "Second" below - but otherwise, it might be a good thing to start with.

I really want to play and get this figured out. I'm sure i've tried more but those are just a few off the top of my head. I've tried putting tickets in with steam. I've tried verifying the integrity of the files, only to have steam freeze on me and shut down. I've also tried running that in compatibility mode with windows 7 (which is what i had before updating to windows10, when i played the game before) along with XP. I've tried using the ts3w launcher without steam after a clean install. I've tried uninstalling, running ccleaner, cleaning registry, searching drive and then removing all related to sims and electronic arts, then reinstalling. I've tried editing the options fullscreen = 0 just to see if i could get the game to start. I've uninstalled and reinstalled atleast 5 times. I have been troubleshooting for hours and hours over the past few days trying every little thing (too many to list) only to have the same notice. I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times including only installing the base game by itself. a few days ago i got a hankering to play only to find out my game isnt working. 2015 i purchased over 10 dlc's to add to my collection and never got around to playing them. I haven't played the sims in over a year.
