Yvonne - try going into your documents and find Sim's 3 icon, just right-click it and choose properties. once your in the properties, choose the shortcut tab and then click find target. when this is open choose the TS3 icon and then it should work fine :')
It's very likely that your computer does not have enough memory or video card space to support the game. I know how this feels because my first two computers didn't run the game right either...very frustrating. The Sims 3 website has all the requirements your computer needs for the game if you want to check that out and see. Here's a link:
http://www.thesims3.com/game/systemreq
If the link doesn't work for some reason, go to Sims3.com, then hover over the tab at the top left that says: The Game, and then click on the second-to-last option that says: System Requirements. Hope this helps

Why does the Sims 3 work on my computer it freezes when I play?
No
Sims 3 wont install it keeps saying data error retry anytime you press retry it still doesnt work?
In the Sims 3, your computer has to have a lot of space (GB), and it needs to have a new video card. I bought the Sims 3 when it came out, and my computer couldn't support it either. I suggest buying a newer computer, but when you do, ask a professional about the space, and about the video card.

School computer or gaming laptop needed for sims and school work?
The Sims 1 will work on any laptop or computer, it requires a low computer spec. However, Sims 2 and 3 will require a better performance computer such as a gaming laptop.
Where can you download Sims 3 generations?
You can download it on your home screen but you have to download the sims 3 game first on your computer before you download the game or else it wont work. But you also have to run a system on your comuter called Origin. (Or any other computer downloading system.) which will also allow you to run the sims 3. Then you can download the sims 3. (Just informing you) The download on the sims 3 might take awhile. ( 3 hours.) (This is only if you are ok with having to pay for the download or if you have the disc to the sims 3. you must also have the disc for the game you want to play.)
Can you get a refund on your sims 3 if it doesnt work for your computer?
