Got it working by following FIX by 88eyeballz and now back with ERROR.

Okay seriously.... I'm starting to get PISSED OFF.
I finally got it to work, I got to play the game for a week and today I started the game and BAM!
I get this error :

Unable to start game
Service initialization failed (0x024e424f)

At this point i would click ok, and then it would come up with this:

Exception Raised
Unhandled exception 0x80000003 at address 0x0058a526.
Do you wish to debug? YES OR NO

Well, this is strange because I got this error before when I hadn't figured out yet how to get the game working.... But I fixed it by following the FIX by 88eyeballz. So I opened the Sims FIX again and copied the #crack files again.... maybe that was the problem. BUT it doesn't work..... It is seriously working on my nerves.... ANNOYING.

Does anyone know what to do?

Thanks in advance

I'm getting the same error message after I create a family and move them into a household, and then the game crashes. Is that what happens to you too? I hope someone comes up with a way to fix this soon!
