I have had this problem a while now. I start the launcher, and click 'play'. The launcher closes and the game pops up. But then the screen just gets black, and the game does not start. Somebody else who have had this problem that can help me? I don't know what to do! (I did not install any new cc or mods between the the two times when it did work and when it did not.)
Please help me!

Hi, ImDatKrissy!
Fully agree with this: just to add: bypassing the Launcher helps me too.
I.E.: I'm using shortcut from C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\TS3W.exe for launching my game, because with complete Store content + all DLC's installed + nicely furnished Mods folder it won't otherwise start.
(I have 16 GB of RAM, but TS3 isn't able to use it all, because my fully furnished game folder is 19,4GB with only 2 Saves in it. My another game folder with fewer Store content is starting each time without problems)
I wish you happy Simming:)
Sorry for editing my comments frequently, in most cases I'm doing this due language issues (english isn't my native language, but I'm using english, because most used by people, with who I want to communicate).
Caspin has already pointed out the golden rule. If your game isn't working move The Sims 3 folder from Documents > Electronic Arts out onto the desktop and let the game regenerate a new one.
Any help would be really appreciated, thanks :)
