sims 3 plays normal after that (with cc and downs)

You are awesome... you saved my sanity!
The launcher seems to be a problem for lots of people. If you just want to play the game and aren't worried about custom content then go to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin (default install path) and run TS3.exe. This runs the game without the launcher and should get you in without the need of the launcher. If this fails try right clicking your shortcut and click run as admin. If the problem still occurs and you can't play the game then try a re-install. If that also fails then it would appear to be a hardware problem I'm afraid.

How do you run it without the launcher? Sorry im new to this. I played it alot and then I stopped playing it for a while. I played it again a week ago and when I tried to play it yesterday it said, "ERROR your base game is incompatible with the current sims 3 expansion pack. I had bought Ambitions and it worked fine until now. the launcher wont even load. I can't update it. I even tried what you said to do and it still won't work. Any suggestions???
Okay, mine did the same thing but I figured out what to do, RIGHT click the Icon on your computer, click open file location then when that comes up, go all the way down at the bottom of the list and click TS3 Application, and it will open and you can play the game, I still have not figured out how to open the launcher but I might sometime in the future...HOPE THIS HELPS!
