Crash At Launch - Please Help

[Cororon]

Hello!

The problem might be that the game is trying to load pictures and stuff for the EA in-game store from the internet, and it crashes when it takes too long.

Go to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 and open the file called Options.ini (it should open in Notepad). Then find "enableingamestore = 1". Change the 1 for 0 and save.

Then you should be able to load the game if that was the problem. Good luck!
