In answer to the first post I am on PC, windows to be exact. I've no idea what you mean by clean out the registery, but I have uninstalled all of my sims 3 games before reinstalling all of them. And thte base game version is 1.67.

 

Now as for the last post I didn't have the internet before but I have it now. All my games are patched to date, so yes  ITF is patched.

Try a clean reinstall following the instructions here: http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_Uninstall and here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/Help-Guide-All-in-one-fix-except-hardware-issues-PC-only/m-p/734448#M36281 where it says Delete game installers

Manually delete everything if above method does not work: https://help.ea.com/article/manually-uninstalling-the-sims-3

Make sure everything Sims is gone from your computer before reinstalling

If the game still shows in your Uninstaller Menu afterwards, you can use CCleaner to get rid of those.

-----------------

Sometimes when you uninstall, Windows leaves left over entries in your Windows Registery and then on reinstalling you have errors.


It's my best suggestion with this error.
