Difficulty Playing the Game. [SOLVED] Empty Difficulty Playing the Game. [SOLVED]

Post by Guest Wed 20 Feb 2013, 10:22

I have tried several times now to install the Sims 3 along with its various expansions. And every time it has ended the same way. To be clear I followed your guide to getting it working to the letter.

I began by installing the base game, then I installed: ambitions, high-end loft stuff, pets, master suite stuff. I wanted to install supernatural, and 70s, 80s, and 90s stuff as well but I needed to update my version to do that, so I used the manual patch you made available to update to 1.48 and then installed supernatural and 70s, 80s, and 90s stuff. Then I downloaded your latest ultimate fix and took the crack out and placed it in to the correct sims 3/game/bin folder replacing the current files.

But now whenever I try to open the game I get:

Unable to start game
Service initialization failed (0.0175dcbb)

If I try to open to the launcher I get:

There was an error during start up. Please see Log for more details.

I am not really sure what else to do. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and I have always gotten the same result. If anyone could give me some advice I'd really appreciate it.

I am on WindowsXP 32-bit, by the way. Also I have tried to change the Sims 3 folder in my documents to the Sims.bak, and even deleting it. Neither worked.

//EDIT

I should also note that I tried doing the instructions given by "Unable
to Start game. See log for more details" Fix given by Admin with no
luck.

//EDIT

I solved my problem on my own. In case anyone else was having the same
trouble what I did was uninstall all my Sims games with Revouninstaller
and went through and deleted every instance of the Sims in my registry.
Maybe not wise, but it worked!
