To anyone familiar with Windows freakin 10. I recently downloaded Kuree's save cleaner again onto my new PC and I can't run the thing. It asks me to choose an app to open it and no matter what I choose it wont open right. So I looked online and the page said I need .Net Framework 4, so I went to download that, but it said I already have a more recent version of that installed. What am I doing wrong here and if I download the older version of .Net Fr 4 will that override my current version and would I really want to do that just for the cleaner? Or am I missing something entirely or is there a better version to use out there.
And FYI I have a Steam install of the Sims3, because apparently that makes a difference too.

Win 10 should already come with .NET 4.7 (or is it 4.8) installed. You can have multiple versions of .NET at the same time, but not multiple variants of the same version (so you can add/activate let's say 2 or 3.5 but not another variant of 4.x). And in fact you need 3.5 to play TS3, at least on the Origin end, not sure about Steam, but that doesn't seem to be the issue here.

You are certain that Save Cleaner v1 requires .NET 4 though? That seems incorrect, where does it say this? You and I cannot run Save Cleaner 2.x because we have Steam installs, not because of Win 10 or .NET. On v1, have you totally unzipped (unrar'ed) the download and kept the components together in the same folder? It doesn't like those few files to still be compressed or separated out. Is whatever tool you are using on rar files up to date? Windows doesn't come with a way to decompress rar files, a third party utility like WinRAR or 7-zip is required.

The file to run is the .exe file, it shouldn't be asking you what application you want to open it.

That I believe depends on the version 1607 (the one I have and don't use) came with .NET 4.6 as .NET 4.7 was available until April 2017. 1703, 1709, 1803 and 1809 have .NET 4.7.
.NET 4.8 won't be officially available until 1903 comes out.

Here's the link I was using,

http://www.simlogical.com/ContentUpload ... oads/1532/

but you're right, it's V2 in this link and not 1, but the one I downloaded IS V1.1 from the link you provided and for some reason it asks me what I want to use to open the file and nothing I pick works or i just open it in Notepad and get all the symbols and stuff.

When I go to the page where I can download the link it's a mostly blank window that says "We're sorry but this file type is not currently supported"

And once again I got this when I tried to download: Save Cleaner V1.1.......rar is not commonly downloaded and may be dangerous. Then next to that there's only a box that says "Discard" and an arrow that I can use to say "Keep". If I download the file I get what I mentioned and can't open it or get it to work.

Sounds like you don't have a program that can uncompress the .RAR archive format. Windows has no clue what a .RAR file is or how to open it, so it's asking you.

As Igazor mentioned before, 7zip or WinRAR will work for that. I recommend 7zip, because it will handle nearly any archive format you come across, while WinRAR (last I knew) only handles RARs.

Thanks, I'm so used to all of that being on my PC that I tend to forget just how much I'd added to the old one over the last 12 years! LOL.
