Error Sims 3 + Showtime.[SOLVED]

1) i followed this guide

*********START***********Read each step carefully!***********START*********
Updated on: 11-03-2012

1. Install The Sims 3 base game. (If you've already installed the base game, ignore this step!)
2. Install AT LEAST one of the following expansions: Showtime, Master Suite Stuff, Pets, Town Life Stuff, Generations.*
3. Install any other expansions you like. Do not apply any cracks (at all) and when installing Late Night, ignore the Installation Guide, which says you need to reinstall everything. This means that you do not need any "# Crack" folder for installing the expansions.

4. Download and apply this fix: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t752-the-sims-3-latest-fix-should-fix-most-of-your-problems . Only use the files which are included in the Fix. The final crack (The files in the "# Crack" folder) should be copied to your The Sims 3 base game's installation folder and not to your expansions' installation folder(s); note that!
5. If you applied the Ultimate Fix correctly, your game should be working fine. Have fun playing!

but still not working

then i found this one

Looks good. Small change:

1. Completely uninstall the game(s).
2. Restart your PC.
3. Reinstall the games you want.
4. Download and apply the 1.33 manual patch: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1870-can-t-update-the-sims-3-to-v133-fix-manual-patch-updated
5. Download and apply the latest version of the Ultimate Fix: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t752-the-sims-3-ultimate-fix-should-fix-most-of-your-problems
6. Start the game and... ENJOY playing!

but still not working.

here is my screenshot:

Hello,

What did you uninstall? All of the expansions, including the base game?

i uninstalled ALL.

then reinstall again the base game and showtime. but error occured.

++
when i install base game only (working but the version is 1.0.6 i think etc...)
->
i need to update because of showtime, so i downloaded the 1.33 patch (manual) then installed it. no error occured while installing the patch
->
then i install the showtime expansion pack
->
copy the # Crack to Sims 3 (game - bin)
->
run the launcher. then the version is 0.00.0000000 all zero. then the error "There was an error during startup. Please see the Log for more details" occured.

base game + showtime. no more/ no less. help me

Hello,

Are you sure you restarted your PC after uninstalling?

yes. as you see in my first post. i already tried both of that method.

The error you are getting is due to the way you are patching. Patch 1.33 does not recognize showtime. When you do your clean base game install you nedd to patch up to patch 1.29 manual superpatcher, which will give you a stable game to continue patching. After apply the 1.31 manual incremental patch according to your area, skip patch 1.32 alltogether and patch to 1.33 manual Super Patch, then apply the latest fix

where could i get the patch 1.29? 1.31? no need for 1.32?

// EDIT

already downloading...

Install the base game. Patch the game to 1.29 using the 1.29 manual Super Patcher, update to 1.31 with the manual incremental patch, update to 1.33 with the manual incremental patch. You are now at the newest version, you don't need the launcher. Now install your EPs one after the other. You will get that stupid message from Pets (or maybe even earlier) on but you can ignore it.

thats what i follow (as what you've said earlier)

//EDIT

update about installing/updating

1) (install base game) - 100% sucess


2) (Patch the game to 1.29 using the 1.29 manual Super Patcher)
- downloading... -

3) (Update to 1.31 with the manual incremental patch)
- waiting for 1.29 manual Super Patcher) -

4) (Update to 1.33 with the manual incremental patch)
- waiting for 1.29 manual Super Patcher) -


IF THIS WORKS. THIS WOULD BE A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM (and for those who encounters this error)

okay ill be back again after 30minutes (my net is slow in downloading )

okay i will now start updating :> wish me luck!

*** sad (

after patching (1.29 manual super patcher), when i try to open the launcher. the error pops up again i think i have bad copy of sims?

i think i should redownload again a fresh copy of sims 3 base game and showtime? and patch? can you please give me links of what will i download. thank you!

//edit

im downloading

1) sims 3 (base game) - from games4theworld downloads
2) what patches would i download? please help. what exactly did you do to make your sims 3 work and updated. i wanted to play showtime badly

im using this base game (The Sims 3 - Razor1911 Final MAXSPEED)

after updating it to a higher version. the error pops up.
__
im downloading now the base game from G4TW.

after downloading.

1) install it?
2) update using 1.29 super patcher?
3) ? what to do.
4) i need to install showtime.

Hello,

1) install it?
Yes
2) update using 1.29 super patcher?
Yes
3) ? what to do.
use incremental (small) 1.31 patch (can be found here, use the worldwide region 2 patch that is 191MB)
4) i need to install showtime.
After that you can install Showtime.

Then, install this manual patch and download and apply the fix. Don't use the crack for the base game or Showtime, both are outdated. If neither have been cracked, all you have to do after installing the manual patch is extract the fix (with winrar, as always) and apply the crack (#crack folder) as specified in step 13 of the fix's installation guide.

roger that maam ^^) ill be back after downloading the base game ^^)

okay. im now installing the base game from G4TW. -> hope this works now.

//EDIT

1) install base game - OK!
2) install 1.29 super patcher - ok but when i try to run the launcher. it gave me the error again
3) install incremental patch 1.31 - ok but when i try to run the launcher. it gave me the error again
4) install 1.33 super patcher - ok but when i try to run the launcher. it gave me the error again
5) apply # Crack - ok but when i try to run the launcher. it gave me the error again

i believe i cant play sims anymore

//EDIT 2

ill download the Your Uninstaller! Pro v7.0.2010.11 and uninstall sims 3 AGAIN.

and reinstall again sims 3 after restart. hope god will help me!

//EDIT

update:
in the sims 3 base game download here in G4TW. will i copy the crack first before updating?

// EDIT (NEVERMIND ^update)
1) uninstall sims using your uninstaller
2) prompted me to restart
3) install base game (done - working - no error)
4) after updating to higher version. i got the error ALWAYS!

// EDIT (im testing a new way to play showtime)

// EDIT
OKAY GOT IT WORKING!

My Experiment Solution.
you need the ff:
Sims 3 ultimate bundle 2011 (11gb downloaded it from demonoid)
Sims 3 Base Game (G4TW)
1.33 MANUAL SUPER PATCHER (G4TW)

Steps:
1) Install the "ULTIMATE BUNDLE 2011" it includes (base game, ambitions, fast lane stuff, high end loft stuff, late night, outdoor living stuff, world adventures)
2) Install Sims 3 Base Game (G4TW) -- why? because its the only copy that you can update. (because the ultimate bundle is not official)
3) Just double click the 1.33 MANUAL SUPER PATCHER (G4TW) -- it will update the SIMS 3 BASE GAME from G4TW
4) INSTALL SHOWTIME -- on same directory of SIMS 3 (G4TW) (default directory is: C:\Program Files (x84)\Electronics Art\)
5) Copy the files inside the #Crack and Paste it to (default directory: C:\Program Files (x84)\Electronics Art\The Sims 3\Game\bin\) -> overwrite files
-- #crack can be downloaded HERE

issue: almost 10gb of space is lost. but its okay if you're willing to exchange it to play Sims 3 WORTH IT ^^)

THANKS EVERYONE
