Hello,

In order to further understand the root of your problem, please answer the following questions:

(1) Did you apply the manual patch and then apply the #crack of the Ultimate Fix to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin?

(2) Have you tried all these solutions in this thread?

Hello,

Can you see a folder in the Ultimate Fix called #crack? That is the correct folder.

Hello,

Did you uninstall any expansions before? If yes, this tutorial may help:

If this doesn't help, please let us know.

Hello,

A clean reinstallation should help. Please download Your Uninstaller Pro from www.games4theworld.org. Afterwards, install the Uninstaller and then uninstall all The Sims 3 base game and expansions via Super Mode. Afterwards, follow the following instructions:

(1) If you have deleted the torrents, please redownload them from www.games4theworld.org.
(2) Extract them with WinRAR ONLY.
(3) Install the base game.
(4) Apply the manual patch mentioned here.
(5) Download the latest Ultimate Fix mentioned here.
(6) Open the Fix with WinRAR ONLY. Drag and drop the content of the #crack folder of the Ultimate Fix to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin.

Hello,

If it is from games4theworld, then you are right.

I doubt that, in this case, there are differences between G4TW's version of that software, and the ones from other uploaders. Wink

But here is G4TW's version: http://www.games4theworld.org/downloads.html

Hello,

Carlos, I mean if the download link is from games4theworld official website, then he/she is right. I don't mean the variations of versions between G4TW and other uploaders'.

3. Restart your PC
4. Reinstall the Sims 3
5. Apply the Manual 1.55 patch
6. Install any expansions and/or stuff packs you have/want

9. Launch the game using the TS3W.exe file
10. Enjoy the game

This should fix the problem, but if not please feel free to post again so we can look at other solutions.

To defrag your HDD use THIS free program. It works better than Windows built-in defragger

As for #7, if you install any of the expansion packs or stuff packs like Pets or Late Nite stuff, apply the Manual 1.55 patch again just to be sure the game is patched correctly. Then apply the Ultimate Fix.

It would help also if you posted your system specs. Which version of Windows your running, how much RAM you have and your CPU speed.

by Guest Tue 03 Sep 2013, 22:02

ok i downloaded the program .. so now should i choose (C) or (D) to Defrag? and would it delete any thing or effect any thing ?
"sorry i don't know much about this stuff

about my system specs :

--(RAM) : 2.00 GB
--system type : 32-bit
--CPU speed : 1.83 GHz

another thing , i think i might did something wrong with Ultimate fix , cause all i was doing is to copy the crack file .. but in this video(that has posted by this site) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrRrF5ysPa8 , they are doing something else .. and i couldn't get it ... so i was copying the crack file only , did i make something wrong?

by **Dracos66** Tue 03 Sep 2013, 22:58

The RAM and CPU speed are ok for running the Sims 3. Yes just run the program on both drives, it wont hurt anything as is does not remove any files, it just puts them in order so that they load right.

As for the video, it is a bit outdated, you no longer have to copy the cracks over to the expansion install folders, just copy the two files from the current Ultimate Fix to the Base game install folder (default is C:\Programs\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin) and select "Copy and Replace" at the popup.

You have a problem with the main game file: TS3.exe.exe
You should delete a .exe and then try again. The name of the file should be TS3.exe

Hello,

Let me elaborate what Shamrock said. He means you should rename the file TS3.exe.exe to TS3.exe (erase one .exe). Don't delete the file!

by Guest Wed 04 Sep 2013, 14:59

Oh .. okay thanx , i'll try this

one Question : is turning on the DEP necessary to get the game work well?

Hello,

Turning on DEP is not necessary if you don't experience crashes in the game. But it's always a good measure.

the file that located in C:/programs/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Game/Bin calls (Ts3 ) i think there is no problem with that right??

Hello,

Which file did you exactly copy from the Ultimate Fix? From which folder?

Yes the file is TS3, but the problem is the file may be in wrong format (right-click the file and choose "Properties" to see what format it is).

by Guest Wed 04 Sep 2013, 17:25

I copied the file (# Crack ) >>

ok , i clicked on properties , the type of the file is (Application (.exe))
