unable to start game 0x0175dcbb. [SOLVED]

Hello,

I seem to be having a problem installing sims 3. The thing is to test it out to see if it would work I installed sims 3 (legit version) with your season download on my laptop. After fixing some registry issues on past games everything worked wonderfully. 

So I tried to install some of your expansion on my gaming rig.
seasons
pets
generation
show time 
world adventures (legit)

and I keep getting the error service intialization failed 0x0175dcbb

Now I kinda know what the problem is but have no clue how to fix it.

On my gaming rig I have the ssd and the main drive. I installed sims 3 and all the expansions on my main drive which is called the d drive. In this drive there is no program files or any system files so I created my own electronic arts folder and expansion folders and installed the expansions there. I'm assuming maybe this has something to do with it and perhaps I might have to go searching in the registry to fix the issue.

-Followed every instruction
-Placed crack in legit version of world adventures and the sims 3
-no sims 3 was ever installed prior to this attempt


I'm wondering I should cleanly uninstall sims 3 and reinstall all together in my d drive under the same path as it would be found in the c drive but I would like your opinion on this first
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Edit:

I decided to look into the registry to see if anything seemed out of place and it seems as thought for some reason the sims 3 directory path did not match its registry directory path. Looking back there was a possibility the the director was slightly moved so I changed to exe path and dir path in the registry to match that of where it currently is and it didn't do the trick. Should I do a clean uninstall and re-install?

Installing it on the c drive is physically impossible due to it being an ssd and nearly at full capacity.

Well its 120 gigs but there's no need for that.

I did a clean uninstall and re installed everything in the d drive making sure the path is the same but only changing the c drive to the d drive. It works perfectly

Thanks
