Sims 3 on a 64 bit
gilmar:
I had some problems installing Sims 3 and the expansions and stuff pack in the Program Files (x86). I was getting service initialization failure. Also I was getting the 'The sims 3 is corrupt and not installed properly' error when I tried to installed Ambitions. However, when I installed them in Program Files, installation was as normal as on the 32 bit and the game could run. Does it make a difference which Program files folder I install the game in?
Sita:
On XP 64-bit, my Sims games work best in the Program Files (x86) folder. What system are you using?
Tyyppi:
The location shouldn't really matter, unless Sims 3 is allergic to parentheses in directory names but I kind of doubt it. Probably just a coinkidink.
gilmar:
I tried it on my xp 64 bit first, it had those problems. Then I tried it on my seven 64 bit, it had the same problems. Is it harmful to my computer if I installed the game into Program Files instead of Program Files (x86)?

Program Files is for 64-bit programs, Program Files (x86) is for 32-bit programs (like The Sims 3). It's not going to harm your computer, but it's totally pointless to mix them up like that.
