Hello there,
I'm having some problems launching my sims 3 game.
Whenever I try to launch my game, I get the launcher, I click play, and after that, nothing happens.
When I look in my task manager, I do see activation UI.exe, which when I close that down, reverts origin so that I must click play again.
After that it's in a loop. Same thing keeps happening.
I did some changes to the compatibility mode, like DPI and such.
When I undo that, the game launches, but with terrible screen tearing, eventhough my FPS is capped.
How is this possible?
I did install the Creators update, because I was prompted to do so.
Can I revert the Creators update in some kind of way?

I've rolled back my windows to before Creators update now.
And via detours, I've managed to put the Updates to manual so I have control over it.
But now after the rollback my sims 3 is still having screen tearing. So i'm reinstalling them via Origin, hoping that will fix it. I've also deleted sims 3 from NVCP, and plan to manually put the profile for Sims 3 back, where I'm going to force vsync on and select optimal performance.
After that I think it should work. Or should I use some kind of frame rate limiter? If so, which one would you recommend?

(Look for the download links 2/3 of the way down the page. Any that show up in the upper right corner if you have no ad blocker are advertising links and probably malware, not the real downloads)
Here is a graphic with instructions under the 2nd Spoiler. One more step to add though. In addition to what she is showing how to change, where it says Frame Rate Limiter and "Off" at the top of Section 2, the "Off" should be changed to 60 (if that is the refresh rate of your monitor, if yours runs higher than 60 Hz then enter its actual refresh rate).

MSI Afterburner is another tool that has a loyal following.

Your fps is capped at 60 and your getting screen tearing? What is your video card and what screen resolution are you playing in ? Do you use 3rd party CC ? What eps are you playing ?
I'm getting around 29-30 fps
MSI afterburner, haven't tried.. dont know how that one works either!
For @phoebebebe13 : I use the videocard mentioned above and I play in my highest resolution possible, which is 1920x1080 pixels
If you intend on playing this whole game on that card try playing in windowed mode , lowering your game settings and or lowering the game resolution in the launcher, I would try any one of these one options or a combination of these options. See if any of this works. If your still getting screen tearing after trying these options you may have permanently damaged your video card.
If you have permanently damaged your video card Im afraid you would need to buy a new computer. Laptops can not be upgraded with video card and processor. You are stuck with the specs you buy. If your hardware fails and they no longer make your hardware your laptop becomes a throw away computer. They no longer make 800 series video cards
It's just now that I have screen tearing. I'll try lowering my resolution! Thanks.
Your computer does not meet requirements. You may have damaged your video card. People who have to cap their fps are those who have a more powerful computer and their fps runs over their monitor refresh rate. Your under your monitor refresh rate so there is no need for vsync or capping your fps
Hope that windowed mode and lowering the resolution helps but yes it is possible that the card has been overly stressed for too long by now unfortunately.
