Strange Crashing at Launch, No loading at all
As the title states I have been dealing with some strange crashes for the sims 3, I click play through EA app and it disappears for a moment and pops right back up. This is my first forum post, please let me know if I did anything incorrect.
First things first, here is my system info right from DXDIAG
Operating System: Windows 11 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 22621) (22621.ni_release.220506-1250)
System Manufacturer: HP
System Model: OMEN by HP 25L Gaming Desktop GT15-0xxx
BIOS: F.30 (type: UEFI)
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics (12 CPUs), ~3.9GHz
Memory: 16384MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 15970MB RAM
Page File: 7305MB used, 19415MB available
Windows Dir: C:\windows
DirectX Version: DirectX 12
Things I have tried
- Deleting Cache Files
- Removing mods folder to another spot, there are still no mods throughout everything else I have done
- Removing the sims 3 folder in documents (it doesn't even appear again after attempting to launch again)
- Reinstalling Drivers
- Reinstalling The Sims 3
- Reinstalling DirectX 11, 9, etc
- Applying the Adler Patch (and repairing the game after it didn't work)
- Logging out of EA app, clearing it's cache via the app recovery option
- Changing the .ini file in accordance with the crash checklist
- To my knowledge my windows anitvirus is disabled
I had no issues with the game until recently, it ran really well. I was working on trying to merge cc and decided to try out CC Magic, I didn't end up liking it so I uninstalled it and just used S3pe. The game wouldn't launch sometime soon after this, I have since reinstalled the game completely but for transparency I wanted to make sure you know I tried using it. I try launching and like I said earlier, the EA app will disappear like it is launching the game, little hourglass cursor as it loads for a split second. No sims 3 launching and the EA app pops right back up. When I moved my sims 3 folder from documents, it didn't even regenerate the files on an attempted launch. I also don't even have any cache files after trying to launch. I have been scouring forums for something similar to this situation but I can't find anything, it's kinda sad because this is a new computer for me and I was pretty happy I could get the game running better. I am out of ideas on what to do/try to get it working.
I have all EPs, except World adventures (no disk drive unfortunately), and a few SPs
Thanks for reading this long post, and if you have any suggestions I am willing to throw pretty much anything at this.
