Service initialization failed (0x024e424f). [SOLVED]?..........Not for me

By installing Sims 3 from Razor 1911 I ended up coming across Service initialization failed (0x024e424f),
Ok, there was a form, now locked cause Id be posting there instead, called Service initialization failed (0x024e424f). [SOLVED]
Where one person thanks to admin and Lady Eldi I think, solved the problem. Im having the same problem. I've pretty much uninstalled everything except for the core game and got past the service initialization part, but my TS3 crack doesnt work, the game doesnt even start up, and when I use TS3W, the game opens and I get all the way to the "select your town" screen only to be told I have " no game disc found ". I need help, preferably from the admin and Lady Eldi who helped that one guy. Im gettin pretty frustrated with these 1911 sim pack torrents.

Personally, I would recommend downloading the G4TW versions of the games, instead of those. Somebody else may disagree or be able to help you out with the ones you already have though.

Do you have any mods or cc?

Hello,

The problem is that you can't just run the base game only, after updating the game.
So please follow these instructions and let us know the result: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly
DO NOT skip any steps and re-download everything needed there.
