In there, go to the compatiblity tab and click on the check box that says "run as administrator" and click OK. Right click it to get to the context menu and go to properties.Go to where you have Steam installed and find Steam.exe.Completely shut down Steam first before you do anything.How I fixed it was going to where I have Steam installed and actually setting the Steam.exe itself to run as administrator. The problem is that files that Steam uses for whatever reason get locked out to it so it can't edit them, and a game is still flagged as running in those files whether or not it actually is. But you can usually bypass this in another way without reinstalling Steam. Which is why reinstalling Steam fixed it. Even after checking the task manager and restarting. I had a problem with another game, not Sims 3, that was on Steam, where Steam absolutely refused to let the game launch, insisting it was already running even though it definitely was not. I realize this is a really old thread, however I think the problem it describes is worth discussing a better solution than to those that were presented for it.
