i need help please read...

hello , i'm asking for some help because my sims 3 won't work

i followed your instructions and video and installed the updated manual patched
but when i installed my manual patch , i did the exact thing as you do, i download
the ultimate fix and copy crack into the sims 3 and crack for sims 3 generations
but when i finish putting the crack it won't play the game,i did restart it but
it won't play , THERE IS NO ERROR , but when i click it once but it wont play then clicking
many times it won't play ... and it won't respond anything or running the sims 3 game and
i tried the possible solutions:
delete mods folder before patching the game,delete cache files in the my documents, sims3la... won't show in the task manager or any of them and uninstalled the origin,
--by the way i am using windows xp-

please help!

I'm not sure if this is your problem, but sometimes the Sims launcher won't pop up when I click the shortcut on my desktop. The way I solve it is to log out my personal User on my computer, and then log back in. If this is your problem too you could try restarting your computer.

Not sure if this helped, but I hope your problem gets solved!

And can you tell me how you applied the Ultimate Fix? Thank you!

If you applied ANYTHING other than the folder labeled "#crack", redo the fix, only using that folder.

Hello,

That error can be fixed by follow these instructions: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly
DO NOT skip any steps and RE-DOWNLOAD both the manual patch and the Ultimate Fix. Good luck!
