Okay, so my sims 3 launcher would work fine whenever I would use it. But then, after patch 1.8, sometimes it wont close at all! I have had to log off and then back on just for it to close down. I was okay with it, for it didn't bug me much. But then, I went to play a family of mine for a challenge.
After a while, I then tried to open the launcher, so I could get to the internet to check something, while the game was running. I'm sure some people have done this than just going and saving and then coming back. Anyways, I didn't save the game. When I did try to open it, you could say the game kinda froze. I couldn't do anything with it! The only thing I could do was try ctrl+alt+del.
It worked, that's how I'm on here right now. But the problem is, the launcher that is up right now, is not wanting to close or do anything. And, If I try to get back to the game, the screen is just black. I'm not sure what to do at this point, for I'm not too great with a computer. So, right now, I'm wondering if anyone else has gone through this type of problem, aspecially after the latest patch. Also, what can I do to make it go back to the game, unfrozen if possible?
