Anyone found a fix yet? (Service Initialization Failed (0x024e242f) error) [SOLVED]

Hopefully this is in the right place, but I just wanted to know if anyone has found a fix for the Service Initialization Failed (0x024e242f) error? I haven't been able to contact Admin to help me fix it because whenever I come online, they're not on, so has anyone been able to find a way to fix it? Thanks.

that error basically means that someone found out your using a pirated version and blocked you from it.... i got it too for Latenight, WA, and Ambitions...

So there's no way to fix it at all? D:

Hello,

The error has nothing to do with the fact that you're using a pirated version.
It's caused by either misplaced or corrupt crack files. Please apply this Fix: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t752-the-sims-3-ultimate-fix-should-fix-most-of-your-problems
Read the instructions VERY carefully on where to put which files exactly. The video should provide clear help too.
Good luck!

I've already applied the fix after I got the error from before, and it doesn't help. I also re-installed it very carefully, making sure everything was in place and it still won't work.

Hello,

Did you download the latest version of the Fix?

Alright, so last night I installed the LATEST version and it was working fine, but now whenever I click my family and it's loading, but then it'll stop halfway and say it's not responding...

Hello,

Try this, please: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t857-the-sims-3-crashes-freezes-to-desktop-fix-update-28-10-2011

I did that before too, it messes up my computer..

But the game is working fine now. If it ever happens again, I'll try that and hopefully it'll work.

Thank you so much for all of the help!
