ibabyunicorn wrote:I Did Everything Your website Told Me To, From Downloading the folder, uTorrenting it, to installing it to the game. I pressed play, loaded perfectly, the last expansion I had was University, so it would use that loading screen, but this time it used Into The Future, I know that is normal! Good Sign! It was done loading. I had mods, The mod script thing didn't pop up, my saves were gone, my neighborhoods were gone. ALLL OF THEM, even spring field, the store recommending didn't even come up, when I clicked on the options button the selections were there but there was no words and when I clicked on one it wouldn't show up.

Sorry for the very late reply, but recently I did not manage to get back to all messages lately. Do you still need help with that ? Did you already try the steps #2, #4 and #5 here ?

"The Sims 3 has stopped working" error

letliveperiod wrote:I had already purchased the base game on origin then downloaded pets and university life on here. so I copied and pasted the crack into the origin games folder instead of the EA and when I opened the game in origin at first it said no disc but I fixed that. Now it will start to load the game and then a screen pops up that says "the sims 3 has stopped working" then it closes the game. please help.

Welcome to the forum and sorry for the late reply,

For now (re-)do the steps from #2, #4 and #5 here: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly

Also make sure that you download all available Windows updates too...

Now have another look at this other topic here and re-do all steps: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t857-the-sims-3-crashes-freezes-to-desktop-fix-updated-on-7-01-2014

If your Windows is a 64-bit version AND if your computer has 4 GB of RAM or more, then focus on step #3 in particular. Download the "4 GB patch" from here.

After downloading, double-click on that 4 GB patch and in the next prompt, choose the TS3W.exe in your base game location. Usually, that's C:\Program files(x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin. Wait for the message "executable successfully patched" and close the 4 GB patch.

Note that this method will not work if your Windows is a 32-bit version and/or if your computer has fewer than 4 GB of RAM. After doing that, go on with the rest of the steps. These instructions should be pretty self-explanatory.

Now go to My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 and delete all contents inside the Currentgame.sims3 folder. Also, in My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3, delete the following stuff:

-CASPartCache.package
-compositorCache.package
-scriptCache.package
-simCompositorCache.package
-socialCache.package
-plus the contents of the folders "WorldCaches" & "Thumbnails"

Re-start the game then and see if anything improved. You may even turn off your anti-virus program completely before playing The Sims 3. Also, have you also heard about the tool "GameBooster", which can help you improve your system's performance ? Topics tagged under 4 on Old ® Games4theworld Forum / Archive Icon_smile

'The license server is down' and other problems

AmeliaUnicorn wrote:Hello . First of all: thank you for the effort you put in providing us with games and helping with problems.

Now onto my issues. A few days ago I downloaded your torrent - the one with The Sims 3 with the complete expansion pack collection. I started installation with the base game, as instructed. I followed the rules precisely but the game didn't work. I later read on the forum that this problem can be caused by only having base game installed so I tried to install an expansion pack (Ambitions). I followed the instructions again but it did not work. I gave up and uninstalled the whole thing. But since TS3 is my favourite game ever, I decided to try to install it again today. I followed the instructions in the video and was very careful but my game still doesn't work. I'm pretty sure I put all the cracks in correct folder. I also downloaded and applied the fix but it still doesn't work.

The launcher looks normal but when I press the buttom for starting the game, I get message to insert the code. I do that but it keeps popping up and then, after some time, I get this message; 'the license server is down. please wait a few minutes and try again.'

I checked this awesome forum for solutions and tried a bunch of things but nothing seems to work. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong (I'm quite a noob in computer stuff).

My computer specs meet the game requirements so that's not the problem.

I'm very sorry if I sound like a total noob and I know these questions have been asked many times before, but I'm really kinda desperate here.

Thanks for the help and have a nice day

Welcome to the forum and sorry for the late reply,

The only crack that you need is mentioned in this guide here:
https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly

Please re-do the steps #2, #4 and #5 there. Again, the ONLY crack that you need is mentioned in step #5. You do NOT need to do anything else besides these few step. Out of interest...do you have the Sims 3 base game registered to your Origin account ?

Sims 3 Supernatural Help needed

darthlink9 wrote:HI everyone, I'm having some trouble here getting Supernatural to work. I have read the installation guide THOROUGHLY and downloaded the ultimate fix and patch, followed all the instructions, but when I go to play either the base game, or supernatural, I get the following error: "unable to start game. service initialization failed (0x0175dcbb). " I just can't seem to figure out what in the world is going on with this. am I missing a file or something? I'm pulling my hair out trying to get this to work. if anyone, anyone at all could tell me what the heck I'm doing wrong, or give me any kind of help at all, it would be much appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forum,

You probably did not apply something correctly. Please see this here and repeat the steps #2, #4 and #5:
https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly

Please do it thoroughly.

I'm not sure what you did, but if you really do everything correctly, then the error shouldn't happen. Also, see this video here please and check the solution:

Good luck for now !

Sims 3 Pets problem?

Shiaena wrote:Hi, I'm pretty new here. I have a legit Sims 3 in Origin, as well as some stuff packs (but they're not downloaded). Anyway, I really wanna try Pets, and maybe in the future some other expansion packs. However, I've been having quite a few issues. First, I downloaded the fixed version of Pets and I transferred the crack files to my sims folder, all that good stuff. It ran, but when it opened, there was no text, no save file, and nothing I clicked worked. Well, I followed the instructions and installed the Ultimate fix, as well as the manual fix, and did them both. With the Ultimate fix, I just transferred the files in the "All expansion packs after and including Generations" into my C: > Program Files (x86) > Origin Games > The Sims 3 > Game > Bin folder. Now, I'm experiencing ANOTHER problem. When I try to run the Sims via my Origin, as always, the launcher pops up. When I hit the play button, a pop-up appears. It says:
"Disc Authentication Failure
No game disc found! Please insert The Sims 3 Pets game disc before proceeding."
Pressing Retry just makes it re-pop up, pressing cancel makes another pop up saying:
"Error
The process could not be started"

Is there any way to fix this?

Hello and welcome to the forum,

You did not apply the Ultimate fix correctly. Please read this guide here, and do the steps #2, #4 and #5:
https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly

You ONLY need the folder named #crack in the Ultimate fix. And you copy those two files inside the #crack-folder, to the base game location of Sims 3 (in your case: Origin Games\The Sims 3\Game\Bin), replacing the existing files.

Good luck for now and do keep us posted !

Confirmation code

W1NKINGL1ZARD wrote:In the download i used, there were 3 codes to put in. It downloaded but now when i try and run the game, it asks for me to re enter it. I tried all 3 codes and none of them worked.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry for the very late reply W1NKINGL1ZARD,

https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly

Read up on that guide. In order for the game (from G4TW) to work, you must at first install the base game (step #1 in the guide) and then use the manual patch to patch it to the latest version (step #2). And then you also need to install at least ONE expansion or stuffpack (step #3). That's also important.

Finally, you need to download and apply the Ultimate fix (step #4). And that should do. Good luck !

Sims 3 wont work

Welcome to the forum Nagol1987 and sorry for the late reply,

https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly

Please make sure to repeat the steps from #2 to #4. And when you apply the Ultimate fix, make sure that you actually copy it it the right location, usually C:\Program files(x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin.

And you should also copy and replace all existing files. Good luck !

Christmas 2014 giveaway contest: "The Sims 4 Limited Edition". [CLOSED]

*** Please note that the contest is over now ! ***

Hello you,

Yes, YOU ! And by that I mean you, the average "visitor" of Games4TheWorld, who doesn't have a special rank and/or fancy username color. The following is meant only for "normal" users on this forum.

As an event for Christmas 2014 on the forum, I am giving away 3 legit Origin serial numbers for "The Sims 4 Limited Edition". Yes, you heard correctly. But please note that this "Limited Edition" does not have all the DLC that are included in G4TW's pirated version. For more details, see this here:

http://www.amazon.com/Sims-4-Limited-Pc/dp/B00EFRN2IQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417609562&sr=8-1&keywords=sims+4+limited+edition

Well, as you might have already imagined, you also need to do something to get those serial numbers.

But first things first - the general rules of this contest are:

-------------------------------------------

1.) You MUST have a forum account to participate in this and any future contest(s). If you don't have an account (yet), feel free to register here. If you don't want to register - for whatever reason - you are NOT eligible for participating. Sorry.

2.) As mentioned, users with a "special rank" are NOT eligible for participating and obtaining the prizes. This includes Administrators, Moderators, The Sims Helpers, Helpers, VIPs, Developers, and also extends to any users with honorary rank titles, such as "Entertainers", "Masters of Arts", etc. This giveaway is only for users with no special rank - the "average Joe" if you want.

3.) Please contact the Admin via e-mail, to submit your replies. Use ONLY THIS LINK HERE and nothing else:
https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/profile?mode=email&u=2

All other "modes of communication" (private messaging, Facebook, Twitter,...) do NOT count. I repeat, you MUST use this e-mail link I just posted to forward your replies, and nothing else.

4.) In order to obtain the prize, ALL tasks (see below for "task descriptions") must be solved correctly. Not one single mistake should be made. If you don't have (all) correct answers, don't submit a reply, because your reply will not count.

5.) Since there are 3 serial keys to give away, ONLY the first 3 e-mails that have 100% correct replies, and reach the inbox of the Admin, are the winners. Any other e-mail sent after that is null and void. This means for YOU: the faster you get the tasks done and the sooner you send your reply to the Admin via e-mail, the greater your chances of being among the first three will be.

6.) Every user is eligible for obtaining ONE serial number only. Cheaters will be disqualified.

7.) I strongly advise you to keep in mind the "deadline bar" called COUNTDOWN, at the end of the post. The (theoretically) last possibility to send in a reply is the 24th of December 2014, 23:59:59 Central European Time Zone (GMT + 1). Any reply sent after that is null and void. In order to give you another help to "see" how much time you still have, check out the calendar here. The last day of the giveaway (24th of December, Central European Time) is clearly marked there. And I will also put up another "world clock", for you to see what time it is in the Central European Time Zone right now.

8.) Although it is me who provides the serial codes, the actual grading and evaluating of the replies is done by both Administrators alongside the other Moderators, to ensure neutrality and objectivity.

---------------------------------------

So these are the basic rules. Now let's move on to what you need to do in order to get the serials. Here comes the task descriptions.

1.) "Retrieve the ghosts"

In this task, you must focus on the section "The Sims 3" on our forum.

Topics tagged under 4 on Old ® Games4theworld Forum / Archive IsaCUpF

So what you see in this small picture. You must focus on ALL of these sub-forums that deal in one way or another with The Sims 3. Again, forget about the other parts of the forum, and only focus on The Sims 3. This does NOT include the Mac section !!! Again, this is ONLY the Windows (PC) section for The Sims 3.

Next, check all my posts that were written during June, July and August 2014, that are in this Sims 3 section. Again, ONLY my posts, and only from this specific time period.

In all these posts, I have hidden 12 pictures, like this one here:

Topics tagged under 4 on Old ® Games4theworld Forum / Archive Lpn47spyze8t

There are a total of 12 such pictures, in 12 different posts. One picture per post. And again, focus only on the timeframe I posted above, and only on my posts. IGNORE the posts from any other users. And you must find them all.

To provide a correct link to a post (which you'll need to do in order to send a correct reply), please click here first and then copy the URL of the post that shows up in your browser URL mask. Example:

Topics tagged under 4 on Old ® Games4theworld Forum / Archive TtHU6kR

Click on a post title as shown in "1" and then you should get a URL of a post, with a specific number, see "2" in the screenshot. The whole URL shown as in "2" is the direct link to a post.

And you must find ALL 12 posts that contain that picture, to solve the task.

2.) "Judgement day"

Staying in the same section and the same time period, you will NOW need to find FOUR HIDDEN GIVEAWAY QUESTIONS, embedded in all my posts (again during June, July & August 2014, and only in the section "The Sims 3"). The giveaway questions are marked as such, and not only will you need to find all of them, but you will also need to answer ALL 4 questions correctly to solve the task.

Most of the questions are "open-ended", in the sense that there might be more than 1 correct answer. As long as your answer is correct though (whichever "way" you choose in approaching the questions), it will be counted.

The questions deal with general judgement concerning the forum - things like posting conventions and handling certain situations that may arise. At this point though, I don't want to go too much into detail about them, since it's up to you to find and reply to them.

However, what I can tell you is that with these (mostly hypothetical) questions, you will certainly need some degree of creativity, argumentation skills and "out-of-the-box-thinking". Besides, you should also familiarize yourself with the general structure and "posting conventions" on the forum.

Some extra notes that might help you

1) Keep in mind this countdown here - it shows how much time you have for submitting a reply:

And this here is a world clock, showing the current time in the Central European Time Zone. You can hover (or click) into any other part of the world, on the map, to compare times. AGAIN, note that the 24th of December 2014, 23:59:59 Central European Time Zone (GMT +1) is the theoretically last chance to submit a reply.

2) I suggest - if you are really serious of tackling the tasks - that you look VERY CLOSELY at my posts (from that specific time period I mentioned).

3) As for the questions, if the need arises, I will think about providing hints to the solutions, in this thread. But if you need to refer to a specific question, just mention the NUMBER of the question only, and nothing about any details of the question. So only mention "question number #1, #2, #3 or #4", without any further details, and then I'll see about that. But don't expect too much "help" from me (or any other team member) - basically it's up to you to find the questions and reply to them correctly.

4) If you see a post with a picture like this:

Topics tagged under 4 on Old ® Games4theworld Forum / Archive GfRf41R

Then it means that a picture is not showing correctly. To ensure that you are not missing a post with a potential "ghost" picture (see above), I'd suggest you try refreshing the page with F5 on your keyboard, even several times. And if it doesn't work, bookmark the page, and try again LATER. But this shouldn't happen; as of now, all 12 ghost pictures are showing up correctly. You "only" need to find them all.

5) I also suggest you conduct your search systematically: instead of focusing on all TS3-subforums at once, you might want to go step-by-step, focussing on e.g. "The Sims 3 in-game support" at first. And when you're completely done with that, go on with the next sub-forum, and so on.

And that's it from me - I wish you all good luck, and I hope you'll have lots of "fun" with the tasks.

P.S. should anything be unclear to you, regarding the rules or if you have general questions about this, feel free to post in this thread.

ONCE AGAIN: SEND ALL YOUR REPLIES VIA THIS E-MAIL LINK ONLY. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER MODES OF COMMUNICATION LIKE FACEBOOK, TWITTER OR PRIVATE MESSAGING.

I REPEAT, ONLY THE E-MAIL LINK I PROVIDED; AND NOTHING ELSE

//EDIT

Hello again,

Due to an unexpected technical issue with the 4 hidden question, they did not show up for "normal" users (only for me and other "special ranks").

I've corrected that now - the 4 hidden questions should show up now. Sorry for any inconveniences.

Please also note that EA hasn't even released a MAC-compatible version of Sims 4 yet. These serials I am giving away only work for Windows, sorry.

And: the 4 "hidden" questions are simply marked as "giveaway questions". You must look (very) closely at my posts (during that time period) to find them.
