After I put the crack files the game NEVER WORKED <STOP PROBLEM>

Carlos wrote://MOVED


Hello and welcome to the forum,


There is really a lot of things that could have gone wrong here. For example...did you make sure to install an expansion too ? Or are you only trying to run the base game of Sims 3 ?


And are you using Windows 7 ? If so, open the start menu, and in the search mask "search for programs" type in cmd. After that, the cmd-logo should show up at the top of the start menu. Right-click on the logo and choose "run as Administrator".

Now, in the window that comes up, you type in the following:

bcdedit.exe/set nx AlwaysOff

Type it exactly that way; and then hit enter again. You should get a "success" message. If you do, please re-boot the computer. And then re-start the game. See if anything improved in the game. Good luck and let me know your result !   

Look at that example screenshot, of how I did it:





I mistyped it on the first try, but look at the second attempt - this one is the correct way.   This is an easy way to turn off the DEP on your system. No need to add single .exe files anymore, after that.


Again, make sure to re-boot the computer after that, for the changes to take effect. Good luck for now, and feel free to post back if you have any more questions !

Even if you are sure you did it already, I have a feeling that you did not apply the Ultimate fix correctly. Please re-read this here again, and do all steps:

When you apply the Ultimate fix, make sure please that you actually apply the files to the RIGHT location. Namely the location where you have your base game installed: that is usually in C:\Program files(x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin. And then you also need to select "copy and replace" for all files, when prompted: this will overwrite the old files.


One more thing: is your computer strong enough for the game ?

and the guide installation on the Sims3 file, and on the Ultimate fix too

Windows 7 Home Premium service pack 1
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU 2.30GHz
6GB RAM

Sorry to hear about your problems. From my experience, most people manage to fix it in the end. Not sure what might be the issue in your case. I'd suggest you let it be for some time, and later on when you feel better, you try again.

Many people "keep trying" for many days and then get frustrated if something doesn't work. I'm almost sure that there is something that you missed or overlooked. See this here (again):

As for me, I have really said everything I could say. But:

If you believe that our game is the problem, then of course: feel free to use your Sims 3 stuff from another source.
