I got back into playing Sims3 about 2 months ago and it was running great and I had a good game going. Then out of nowhere when I open it, it starts loading, then freezes. If I hit the windows button on my laptop then go back into the game, the next loading screen is up, but then it freezes, too. Each loading screen does this. Then when it finally opens, each click in the game causes the same issue: it freezes and won't go to the next screen until I click the windows button then go back into the game. Any ideas on what is going on? I don't have any CC. I already uninstalled and reinstalled. I am at a loss and so frustrated :-(
