Sims 3 Launcher and Game crashing.

I first tried opening every .exe in the sims folder that included the word "Launcher" and they all crashed. So I clicked on TS3W.exe and then it tells me the Sims 3 has crashed. I have downloaded and Installed Island Paradise and University cracks (I have physical copies of the base game and other expansions), and I have even downloaded the Ultimate fix but of course, that didn't do anything.


Replaced the two files again with the ones from the fix, # Crack folder ^
Afterwards, still said Sims 3 is not working.


Then I tried to replace it with the ones from All expansions after Generations.
And surprise, surprise, still didn't work

Then out of pain and agony, I replaced those files with the original ones that I had from before I started installing IP and UL.
Didn't work either. I'm on the verge of screeching, and I sound like a demented harpy when I do.

Hello and welcome to the Forum!

You have to apply the 1.67 manual patch, and THEN use only the files inside the folder #Crack of the TS3 Ultimate Fix. Nothing else. That means, the steps #2, #4 and #5 here:

Note, if you already got these items downloaded earlier, you of course don't have to download them again. Just make sure to re-apply first the 1.67 manual patch, then the 2 files inside the folder #Crack of the Ultimate fix.

You have to copy/paste the TS3W.exe and TSLHost.dll (again, these are the 2 files inside the folder #Crack) into C:\Program files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin. Replace the old files when prompted.

Well, its a bit late to try now. I tried to fix it by uninstalling all the sims games and my computer stopped working. I had to reset everything. On the bright side, I have more space on my laptop and it runs a lot faster

Sorry to hear, but if you feel like it again at some point, do try and give it another shot.
