I am srry to say that my sims doesent work anymore for the moment.After the last patch installed ,and i was late doing so.After sims 3 wont start up anymore.I already have done a clean set up again and it still wont run .Why i dont know ,but i am still trying to get it back to work. Strangely but glad i am not the only one having this issue.Before that i did not have any problem with running the game at all.How ever this latest patch have done its harm and it is good advise not to install it ,since a lot of people has this issue. I.ll keep working on it from this end and see where the problem sits.I almost begin to think that something in that patch is writing something in the starting protocol,so i have tried to start it without patches ,and gues what ,still no luck. Hoping to get some good news out soon ,without the game i can not test my items that i make for the game or get the screenshots that i need at all. SO im hoping on good news really soon.
