Title: Unable to start game Generations
Post by: herefortheparty on 2011 June 06, 22:07:54
When I try to start the game I get the following message:
Unable to start game
Service Initiation Failed (0x0175dcbb)

Its the Reloaded version, everything has been update, installation went without a hitch, used the no-cd hack, now have AM installed to see if it would help thinking the no-cd hack was the problem. Also, the contents in the Bin folder doesn't have the TSLHost.dll file and none of the folders and some other files are no longer in there as compared to previous contents that have been in the Bin folders of all the other EP & SP's.

I've used the Reloaded versions for pretty much all my arr'ed stuff and never had any trouble with them before. Has this all changed with Generations? Should I be putting the TSLHost.dll file in the Bin folder or leave it out since there isn't one to replace. The only .dll file I see is Sims3EP04GDF.dll   I'm confused on what to do now. Could the problem be with the torrent?

See that file called "readme"? It's meant to be read.

SERIOUSLY, SHUT UP CLAERIC.  YOU ARE NOT HELPING ANYTHING.
My advice: don't use the crack.  Just use Twallanian no-cd, and you are set for life.

If the version of AM you downloaded isn't the test one and it's an old one then it wont work with generations.  If it is the test AM then try running the game without AM and any hacks or custom content you might have.

Compelling evidence you shouldn't have been let out of the Dome.

Thanks! That worked for me.
