www.simsforums.com - the Sims series, computer games & other nonsense since March 2008.

I bought and downloaded the game through EA.com, not in a store. I am 100% sure my computer meets the game requirements.  Every time I try to play TS3, it crashes back to my desktop.  I know from reading other help threads that this has been a common problem, but all the solutions I tried do not seem to work.  The only thing I haven't tried that a lot of people said worked for them was uninstalling EA download manager; since I downloaded the game through the website, I can't uninstall EADM or it will delete my game.  Help please?  I don't know what else to do!

Exactly what solutions have you tried?

You might want to back up your saved games and mods and downloads and completely reinstall the game and the EADM, but I need to know exactly what you've tried until now to be able to help.
