The Sims 3 Rant Pt 2

Right. So I decided to give the sims 3 a chance..and plus I don't think I can return it. Anywho, I bought the sims 3: medieval as a chance for redemption and guess fucking what? THE SHIT WONT LAUNCH! I have installed it and all, but once I click on it to launch, it doesn't do anything! Seriously? The only thing keeping me from breaking out into a busted rage is that I carefully budgeted around this sort of issue, but seriously? I was all excited from being able to create assassins and new things and actually having fun, but NOOOOOO fun is not allowed right now. It's not.
