Problem installing Blackbox Sims 3.[SOLVED]
I've installed this game over 3 times, the first time I tried to play it and do note that I am using Windows 8, my graphics were on the lowest.
It did not detect hardware and the moment I went into a game world it showed up as a white glitch.
So I tried to update it to 1.42, but then a DSETUP error occurred. I reinstalled the game and tried through your method, but to no avail.
This time however, the update does succeed and when copy-pasting the game files from the #Crack folder to my TS3 Bin folder, hoping the game will start, it doesn't. The launcher opens upon an error and when I try to open the game directly it gives an error code:
Unable to start game. Service initialization failed. (0x0175dcbb)
I am at the end of my wits here, I have no idea what else to do. The game is virtually unplayable on the current update I have, but it's also impossible for me to update too 1.42
If my specs are necessary I'll attach a DxDiag notepad.

Re: Problem installing Blackbox Sims 3.[SOLVED]
We actually recommend not using blackbox, as it's a modified installer, and can't be updated or added to once installed. Someone else may be able to help you out more than I can, but my advice would be to uninstall, and install the Games4theWorld versions of the game.

That is bad news, I already spent hours of my time to download this and also installing it over and over.
If I am forced to download everything individually again then I will simply not bother anymore I'm afraid.

Re: Problem installing Blackbox Sims 3.[SOLVED]
That error, regardless of blackbox or G4TW, is because of one of a few things. Unfortunately, I have no experience with the blackbox installs, so I can't help directly but I will tell you that if you read the other threads that reference that same error (and there are many of them), you should be able to figure out how to fix your problem.
Side note: I know the Search function doesn't work for me (not sure about others but, I never get any results), but many of the threads have the error in the topic so just scanning for it should get you somewhere.

Hello,
See if this topic helps you at all.
Though that particular error is common on windows 8, blackbox edition or not. Patching the game may not fix it, running it in compatibility mode might.

Re: Problem installing Blackbox Sims 3.[SOLVED]
So I have tried what Lady ElDi has suggested to me and I still get the same error message as before.
Note that I've also tried running it in several compatibility modes with no success whatsoever.
