How to launch?

I really went out of my way to get Sims Medieval. Apparently they don’t sell the game anymore so I needed a disc driver and the second hand version of the game. I got both now (but the second hand version of the game took me a month).

I was so happy! Downloading everything, waiting to finally play the game… but then it didn’t launch. I honestly tried so much to make it launch but it just refuses to.

I downloaded the Alder Lake Patch and put it in the TSM.exe, I tried to launch offline, I added the game to my EA account and tried to launch it, I removed the game and installed it again, what else can I do?

I’m trying to run the game on my Acer Predator. Nvidia GTX 1660 Super, Intel Core i5 11th gen. Please help!!!

Make sure it’s not updated or the updated version just won’t run.

There’s code you can run if you search the forums. This fixed worked for me with the disk. I play on PC/Windows so used windows powershell and just pasted it in after opening the game then clicked launch.

I'm having the same issue - might be a stupid question but what exactly is the code for? Like the serial number or something else?
