Sims 3 has stopped working Empty Sims 3 has stopped working

Post by Guest Sun 27 Jul 2014, 19:57

Hi, I'm running a legit copy of Sims 3 and a cracked copy of Seasons but whenever I start up the game I just crash with the message "Sims 3 has stopped working", I could run the game fine before installing Seasons. I'm pretty sure I installed it correctly, I moved the files from the #crack thing over and I just keep crashing. Here's my crash report, I have no idea what I'm looking at though. I looked through that big must read thing and didn't see anything that would really help me? I'm upgrade to 1.67 or whatever the current one is and the game was running fine and dandy before the expansion. I did the DEP thing as well and used all the exes from both the base and expansion. Help me please

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong :/, I downloaded the 4gb patch and the Ultimate fix thing and nothing is changing. I get a black screen after I start it up for about 15 seconds then it crashes with "Sims 3 has stopped working". Is this because I'm not using a cracked base game?

Are you sure you applied the "Ultimate fix" correctly ? If in doubt, please re-do the steps from #2 to #4 here, very carefully:

Pay close attention to these steps and don't do anything else, beyond that (especially ignore the other folders inside the Ultimate fix, you ONLY need the one that is named #crack).
