Sims 2 not starting
So read tons of posts on how to fix this issue but they don't seem to be working for me. the closest solution I could find lead me to downloading the paul.dll file but the game is still not starting up. My problem details look a little different from the ones I have seen.
It looks like this:

The fault module timestamp, exeception outcome and exception offset don't seem to tally with those that I have seen. Can someone please help me find a solution?
