The first thing is, uninstall and reinstall the game. Only by doing all these things in conjunction were we able to get our game to start. Lets files install and hopefully finally be able to enjoy. From the XMB menu triangle over Sims 3 and manually check for updates, it should install an update at this time.Ĩ. Goto internet browser > triangle options > tools > clear cache, clear cookies, clear browser history.Ħ. Uninstall all game data, there should be 2 files.ģ.

We’re not sure what ultimately fixed the problem so try all of these.Ģ. Here’s what we did, should be able to do all quickly and be up and running. We tried a lot of the individual fixes we could find and none seemed to work until we tried EVERYTHING at once. We struggled for over an hour but I’d like to post how we fixed it in case anyone is still having this issue. My gf wanted to play some old PS3 and pulled out sims 3 and had this same problem. This is a super old thread, as it’s now September of 2019. Edit: Marked as solution for usefulness and visibility.
