Good Morning all,
I just wanted to let you all know i solved my problem with sims games not working. turns out it was a program issue and not the sims 3 patch. i am starting to see i have a veery determined spirit, and i don't give up so easily, so i asked google if i deleted a certain portion of my systems' program would it cause problems and was told it would not. so i deleted that part of the AMD software which was by the way, just games that i could play on this computer. the games are ones that i do not have interest in due to the violent nature of them so i deleted it and now sims 3 and 4 are working fine. so am reinstalling all my packs and content. i just wanted to let you know in case some of you or another player may have the same problem. Happy simming guys!
