Game Launcher Error

[KanariAozora]

Hi!
My Sims 3 base game isn't working and this all seemed to occur after I updated to patch 1.26.
It's been going on for at least a month with no avail of help from anyone. 
I'd really appreciate any help that's offered.
This all occurred after I tried downloading ambitions then I uninstalled it from so many issues. 
Then I went back to playing my base game (after numerus uninstallations and reinstalling. ) since then it's been a really big issue.
I just want to play my Sims game in peace. 
Thanks!

Sadly No  
I've tried that method and a few others.
Still no progress
EDIT: So I tried that (doing the TS3 stuff without the launcher yet again) and I get results from that.
The message says:
Unable to start the game
Service initialization failed (0x0175dcbb)

Do you use any mods or custom content?  If you do, it might be a good idea to get rid of all of it and start over with a brand new game.  Do a complete reinstall with no new saves/sims/worlds.  If it doesn't give you issues then you can slowly start adding stuff back in.


Also what type of computer do you have?

I have no mods, but I do have CC content. and I don't have any worlds except the original.

I also have Windows 7.

Edit: I did that and didn't have anything on my system with the custom content etc. Nothing else installed except the game and the installed patch.
Still not working =/

Hello KanariAozora, and welcome to the forum.

Now, the "Service Initialization Failed" message should be cured by using instructions found in this thread.

Thank you so much!
It turns out that was the problem for the game all along. 
I appreciate your help

Excellent!  Great job finding that topic, Seabody.

I saw someone else with Service Initialization Failed recently and that topic's been in my memory since then.
