I have to load TS3 on my old PC while my new PC has been sent away. I haven't had TS3 installed on it in a year since a Blue Screen and when I sent that PC off to repairs it had Windows 10 put on it.
So I tried to install TS3 on it yesterday and I went through the usual process where you type the code thing and then when it was installing after about two thirds of the way there it would just stop installing and exit itself with no warning or reason given. No error sign or anything came up. I tried this three times.
It cannot be my video card as that had not been changed. The only change to happen to that PC is that it has Windows 10 on it.
Any help?

@igazor Thanks I will try that link
Any other suggestions?
My advice @king_of_simcity7 make sure your drivers are updated to Win 10.
This may sound silly but do you have at least Base game installed if so should be a easy fix.
Expand one of the categories to find the name of your device, then right-click (or tap and hold) it, and select Update Driver Software. For graphics cards, expand the Display adapters category, right click your graphics card and select Update Driver Software.
Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
Also are you doing typical install when installing Sims 3 there are 2 options typical and advanced advanced gives you more options.Cant remember if advanced looks into compatibility typical works for me so do not worry but in your case check advanced
I will have to try and advanced install...
I’ve used my laptop for four years now, and the sims 3 worked fine on it with Windows 8. But not that long ago I updated to Windows 10 and that’s when some problems started (music/sounds stopped working and the game crashed after +/- 30 minutes). So I thought well I’m just gonna uninstall and reinstall the game (base game+expansion packs).
So when I try to install the base game, I fill in the code etcetera, but when I get to the installation bar, it exits itself hallway through, no error or warning. I tried it a few times but with no luck :(

But it could also be that your laptop is just not taking to the Win 10 update well. Many of them just cannot run Win 10 properly and many others require a total wipe (reformat) and full install of Win 10 from scratch, as opposed to an update from Win 8. How well is your computer working otherwise? What make and model are we talking about? How much RAM and what does it have for a processor and graphics card?
