WA made me update TS3 before installing, now game won't start! Help!!
madtaylor:
Yesterday I bought WA. When I put the CD in, it told me that it had to update The Sims 3. After updating it installed World Adventures. When I brought up the game launcher and clicked the arrow to start the game, the screen went black and then back to the desktop.
*The only Custom stuff I have is from The Sims 3 official store, but took it all out anyway just incase*
I uninstalled WA and tried to play just the base game - same thing. (The base game had been working fine 2 days ago.)
I uninstalled the base game and re-installed it, choosing NOT to update it - same thing.
I tried system restore, to restore it to the last known date that it worked, but it said it couldn't restore to that date. I also tried 3 other random dates and it can't restore at all apparently.
None of this mess was happening untill I tried to install WA, which forced me to update. I don't know if it's a problem with WA or the update or my computer.
Here's what I'm working with:
Operating System: Windows XP Professional
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz (2 CPUs)
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
DX Setup Parameters: Not found
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT *(updated drivers)
I'm DESPERATE for any suggestions on how to fix this! :-[
Larku:
Two seconds of black screen and right back to desktop? Same problem I've had and I've done everything I can think of to try and fix it. No one has given me any cures for it either... Give me a shout if you get a answer though.
madtaylor:
I'll let you know if I find anything out. I've been at this for 5 hours, doing everything I can possibly think of to try to fix it, all to no avail.
My last option is to go to target and just buy another copy - maybe our disks are effed up?
DigiGekko:
The probability of disc failure is so low (but so easy to blame instead of user error) that it's practically impossible to ever have it happen. Just saying. No need to bug the store people for another copy.

Wait, as in buy the same game again? Or am I misreading what you typed? Because that would be spending $60 for one expansion pack.
