    Are you using custom content ? This error usually occurs if you have a corrupt download.

Hi. Sorry if have something wrong, I am Brazilian lol.
Anyway, if you have custom content, try to take them all off the game folder. I did it, and works.
But ...
What's so funny when you don't have cc? (Especially if two years ago that you're trying to do a movie of TS3, and now TS4 ¬ ¬)
So I believe that you should move each content one by one, and go trying to open the game. Maybe that works. I am going do this, and I reeeeeeally hope that works.
Sorry if i've written something wrong, and, kisses from a gothic girl ♥!
