Issues with infinite black screen in Sims 3? Here's your solution!
For whatever reason, people are experiencing issues with the game since the latest windows 11 update. It'll start up and get 'stuck' on a black screen forever.
Luckily the solution is simple: press alt + tab to find the pop up hiding behind the black screen and click continue. Your core mods are causing this pop-up. So far both Nraas Errortrap and Simler90's core mod have been known to be at the root of this. If you have these mods, take them out and try starting your game again. Do you not get the pop-up without these mods in your game? Then you're running the wrong version of these mods and for whatever reason since the newest windows update, you'll be warned about this. It doesn't hurt your game, but you can get rid of the pop-up entirely by making sure you replace them with the correct versions here:
Download the correct version of Simler90's mod here.
Download the correct version of Errortrap here (click the steam or EA App icon).
Using these instead of whatever version you used first should fix your issue.
You can also download the newest version of S3SS to get rid of the pop-up.
Disclaimer: there might be other (core) mods causing your pop-up. If you're still facing the problem even when you fix Simler90 and Errortrap, then you'll have to do some more searching to find your culprit.
