TS3 Generations, error while launching the game

I completely don't know what to do. I had had World Adventures, Late night, Fast Lane stuff and Ambitions until I installed Generations (all of them downloaded from torrents, only base game is original).
Generations were downloaded twice. The first time:
When I installed it I was worried because my BIN folder of the game looked like this: https://2img.net/r/ihimg/photo/my-images/696/pulpit1t.jpg/ I thought the folder was a bit empty and the size of TS3EP04 was only 28 KB, which normally is about 13 MB! There wasn't TSLHost.dll file either. I cracked it but an error occured when I launched cracked exe file: https://2img.net/r/ihimg/photo/my-images/3/errorpq.jpg/ (in English: Unable to start the game. Service initialization failed (0x0175dcbb) )
I thought it was a fault of the torrent and downloaded it again from another source. But everything went the same: BIN folder looked the same as above, the same error occured! May somebody help me?

Hello,

Yes, I see the problem. Please delete the two files you copied to the almost empty folder (that's all normal, by the way).
Now, open the "# Crack" folder in the .rar file you downloaded and drag & drop the two files in there to EXACTLY: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin, instead of ...\The Sims 3 Generations\Game\Bin

Should work fine now. Good luck!

You were right, thank you! But I have a question: when the next EP releases, will I have to put crack files into the main folder of the game? Just replace it like I did today?

Hello,

Well, I'm not sure how the next expansion is going to work, but don't worry, I'll update all the instructions on the Forum by then!
