HELP: SIMS 3 (World Adventures) ERROR CODE 291

HI There,

Without knowing how much ram you have installed on your computer, I can only guess, but it could be that you do not have enough.

I also don't know if you know how to run the msconfig command or what OS you are on, but if you know how to run the command, I would surely go through the start up progams and stop the ones you do not need starting up.

i.e. if you have 2 gigs of ram, you probably need more...

🙂

Do you get the message when you start a certain save game or when you start the game itself or is it when you start the launcher ?

When did you clean the registery ? Before or after you uninstalled world adventures ? Did you also uninstall the base game ?

Also try the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714/

I get the message when I want to start the launcher. I cleaned it today and uninstall world adventures afterwards. No I didn't uninstall the basegame because I couldn't find the CD.....

Try bypassing the launcher as described here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714/


This is just for testing purposes to see if the game itself works.

If that doesn't start either, uninstall WA again, THEN clean out the registery not the other way round. Also try the factory reset linked in the post before.
