Re: Launcher error "unable to start game service initialization failed (0x065d0274)

This error pops up most of the time now and there are no programs for mac that specify which mods corrupt the game.

    Does this issue happens when you start a clean game? You can try, to do it:

    • Go to Documents\Electronic Arts and drag The Sims 3 folder to the desktop.
    • Start the game, you won't see any content or saved games, but that's because it's on the desktop.
    • Close the game and try to install some CC. Check if the issues persists. Tell me the results in order to proceed 🙂

    ========
    XP = "Thank you!" / "¡Gracias!"
    "Accept as solution" = "This solved my problem!" / "¡Esto ha solucionado el problema!"
    Please note I don't work for EA, I'm just a player like you, trying to help other players. / Ten en cuenta que no trabajo para EA, solo soy un jugador tratando de ayudar a otros jugadores.

  • It worked, however the new custom content replaced all of my old custom content. Even my old games are gone so will the next step involve getting everything back or am I on my own for that part. Any suggestions are appreciated
