I got a new laptop a few days ago & installed/transferred all of my Sims 3 files from my old laptop.
I went on the Can You Run It website to make sure my laptop meets the system requirements, and it does. When I first tried playing yesterday, I had my whole house ready, & for the bathrooms I tried buying a mirror. My game started flickering (black, then back to the game) before freezing at just a dark gray screen. After waiting, I tried turning my computer off, when a blue screen shows up saying something about not being able to shut down. After 20 seconds or so, the computer turns off.
I tried uninstalling, & reinstalling the game, taking out mods & other custom content, & resetting all settings, but nothing seemed to help. Why is this happening?
I had Sims 3 installed on 3 other laptops & they all worked fine.
Why isn't it working now?
