the sims 3! in need 4 help?

can you try uninstalling and then going through the re-installation process again? Usually this helps when I install a new game that is having installation problems.

If you do this and you are STILL having problems try this:

Go to the start menu (assuming you are using Windows)

And type in dxdiag in the 'run' field and hit enter.

copy/paste and post this info here AND on the technical support forum for the game version including any error messages you are getting. I believe the Sims is is an Electronic Arts product and they're pretty good about tech support through their forums (not so much by phone).

If you still need help I'll do what I can -- nothing sucks more than getting a new game that wont run.

just in case you arent real familiar with Yahoo answers...all you need to do is "Edit Details"

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

POST EDIT: Ahaaaaaa -- you're using a cracked version... Ooook... now there is your problem, I think. Do you have an anti-malware program running? Check your background processes for applications that are blocking your registry from being altered. Disable the anti-malware programs for now, and try again. But really? is a used Sims disk with key that expensive? Crack websites are usually filled with really bad malware ...hence the name... just be careful. That is all.

i like Sims 3 the perfect. Sims 2 has undesirable photos and looks extraordinary for my section. Sims 4 is easy terrible. I even have refused to spend $70 on a pastime devoid of swimming pools, toddlers, hair issues, CAS, open worlds, and a team of loading displays. I see this replaced into published 3 years in the past so i do no longer likely even understand why i'm posting this... :)

How about you turn off your laptop, walk or drive order to your local GameStop or Game Crazy and BUY a copy of the game. That way, you can be sure it works. Better still, DON'T turn off your laptop. Just go on ebay or Amazon and order a copy.

i have a cracked version of the game too, and i'm not really sure why the crack isnt working. you have to have made a mistake somewhere. retrace your steps. make sure you overwrite anything if it requires you to and make sure you have dropped it in the right folder.

Thats god saying go buy a real video game
