If you REALLY want to use Launcher to install Sims3Pack with 1.8/2.3
simaddict:
I think I must have done something wrong, but I'm not sure what since I followed the instructions. I'm running the launcher from the working launcher folder, but when I try to install something I get an error saying "Unable to start game. Service Initialization Failed (ox6224dd27)"
Any idea what could be causing this & how to fix it?

Here's a copy of my working_launcher folder. All you need to do to get it to work for you is edit the Resource.cfg file found within to point to your DCCache directory instead of mine.
working_launcher(42.9MB)
This is for WA if that actually matters(Only know of one store content object that specifically says it needs WA, and it may show up in base game if you use this to install it with anyways), and if it doesn't work then you've got problems, either with your computer, or with the thing sitting at your computer.

I had that exact error trying to downgrade from 1.8/2.3 back to 1.7/2.2. What it ended up being was a mix of old and new .dbc files in DCCache. If you have Resource.cfg configured to look for .dbc files in more than one place, you might change it to only look in one place as it could be due to a conflict. Also, if all else fails, you can delete the DCCache folder and rebuild with the launcher. That's what I ended up doing to fix it.

Unfortunately, I think I'll have to give up on this solution.
While cefwyn's working_launcher folder did load and install files, it was very selective and only installed certain files. I have no idea why, but it would still only handle the free store content, no CC or questionably obtained store content. I might try it one more time out of pure obstinacy, but I think at this point I'll probably give in and try other solutions. If anyone else is having problems getting their launcher to behave (and are willing to stop using it) I found a couple of other posts that may help.

The working launcher does not work. The launcher itself is operable and is able to install items, but the game, once loaded, does not show any towns and a black screen appears if you load up a save. Once installing the items from this launcher, I reverted back with the new Cache files. The items don't appear despite them appearing in the launcher.
EA really fucked up.
