WA made me update TS3 before installing, now game won't start! Help!!
Greenbean:
I don't have the expansion, but I was actually having this same problem with the base game. I fixed it by going back to an older driver for my video card. This one worked for me:

I hope it works as well for you!

I installed that later version and it didn't make a difference . Still getting black screen then desktop. I also tried the 195 beta version and that didn't do anything either. But I just installed these over the previous version - do I need to uninstall the drivers first and then go back and install them?
Larku:
Downgrade your graphic card's drivers. Oddly, nvidia's latest drivers do not work with Sims 3.
Greenbean:
I put the link to an earlier driver, not a newer one. Did you try the one I linked to?
When you try to install it, it should tell you that you already have a newer driver installed, and ask if you still want to install the older one. So just say yes.. I can only speak from my own experience, but it worked for me, and I now do have the expansion, also working.
Also, make sure to restart your computer after changing the drivers.

Yes I tried your link, the earlier one first. It installed fine but didn't fix the problem. Then someone told me to try the 195 beta, so I did that and it didn't work either. I'm getting really pissed. I just want to play my damn game! Thanks for the suggestions though :) At least you guys want to actually help, which is more than I can say for EA support.
