Sims 3 Ultimate Fix Problem

I downloaded the Sims 3 Ultimate Fix so I could play the game without a cd.

The game starts without a cd now, but while loading I get the message:
"Unable to start game Service initialization failed (0x024e424f)."

I click okay then I get this message: "Exception raised Unhandled
exception 0x80000003 at address 0x0058a646. Do you wish to debug it?"

I click yes and the game shuts down without updating/debugging the
problem. Does anyone know how I can fix this? (I'm on a Mac btw)

I'll move this topic to the MAC section.
Did you download the mac version of the fix? It sounds like a misplaced crack.

I downloaded the mac version. Part of the instruction when installing the crack is to update the game, but when I tried updating the launcher crashes and my game is never updated. So, I think that might be the problem, but I don't know how to fix it.

Hello,

Please use the manual patch instead then: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t3597-can-t-update-the-sims-3-to-v133-fix-manual-patch
