I used quick uninstall on each item(normal mode). do i need Super mode?
Searched for "the sims" & "Sims" in regedit and removed the things i found related to sims. Installed Base again, no patch, was able to run the launcher and is now proceeding with the rest.
Does the install order matter?
I started suspecting that updating is the fault. Installing WA works, so I started installing Ambitions which wants to patch the base, after patching but before installing the expansion i tried to start the game and got the error again.
I have been using fairlights release for the base but i got the expansions via G4TW torrents, could this cause a problem?

ivefan wrote:The error appears after the base gets updated it seems, and ambitions is the first expansion that needs an update.
I have uninstalled everything so no expansions installed. But I intend to install all the Expansions and some of the "stuff" packages

Hello,

We reply to every question as soon as time permits, but you have to understand that this is a hobby for Admin and myself. We're probably in a different time zone and since Admin has taken some time off, I'm answering most questions by myself, and while I am answering all posts, there's no way every post can be answered within a couple of hours.
Your post has been answered by the way

I did that the previous two times, though I got the manual patch via MTS manual patcher program

Firstly, thank you so much for uploading this. I downloaded this a month ago and was having a lot of fun.

Yesterday, however, I wanted to try Ambitions and downloaded it. Unfortunately, I have the exact same error as him now. (Error 0x0175dcbb)
I've tried everything. I even uninstalled the entire game and re-downloaded them following your guide VERY CAREFULLY. Even when I don't install Ambitions the error still appears for me.

When I try the launcher it says, "There was an error during startup. Please see the Log for more details."

I was going to propose yesterday too! D: Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Please install all the expansions you want and then apply the latest manual patch for version 1.36 of the game.
After that, don't do anything else; try to start the game via the launcher and let us know what it says. Good luck!
