@eventoowish Right, so are you using another approach? The PowerShell script, the Task Manager method, and Process Lasso all fix the problem when applied properly, and you still only need one of them.
- 2 years ago@puzzlezaddict So I'm down towards only the Task Manager and the Process Lasso. Just to confirm, for the process lasso is that a separate program that needs to be downloaded? I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything. Also with the two approaches, would I still apply the patch and then either the Lasso or Task Manager step?

I downloaded the application - the same issue occurred where the ts3.exe doesn't appear until I click play on the Launcher. But the same error: Unable to start game. Service Utilization failed (error code) shows up after the Sims3 window opens.

@eventoowish Again, you need to use the Alder Lake patch OR the Task Manager method OR Process Lasso OR the PowerShell script. Just one.
The service initialization error suggests a problem with the install itself. Repair the game again, and if that doesn't help, uninstall it with Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine) and reinstall.
