Missing .exe file causing crashes
lovelygoth101:
I am running the base game disc (collectors edition) for PC. That is the only copy I use.
I have been told I am missing a crucial file; and without it my game constantly crashes without warning. I have spoken with the EA online helpline numerous times and keep getting the same response: "Keep un-installing and re-installing until the file shows up and/or download the game to Origin so you don't have to use the disc and you will get the file."
But the file never shows up. And the uninstalling/reinstalling isn't helping.
I have patch 1.34.27.016017, remove all the temp files, and run no other programs aside from Origin while playing.
If someone does have this file could they copy it, .rar the copy, and upload it for me?
TS3W.exe":0x0001:0x0095c48f is the file; and it should be located in: Program Files/EA Games or Origin Games/The Sims 3/Game/Bin/
Jenna:
Dumb question, but have you tried copying it off the disc? I had this issue with TS2 and files that would randomly fail to copy over. I'd just pop the disc(s) in and find/copy whatever files I needed.

You're not supposed to be asking for game files here. I think that's what got you into trouble last time. Hah.

Thanks for the help Jenna, I'm going to have to try that!!! 1rock
EDIT: Copy and pasted all the files from the disc itself but didn't try booting up the game yet. I still didn't see the missing file anywhere though. :S
Within the day I will load up the game and see if everything is working.
If not I'll post this in the request thread for the file itself?

If you read Jenna's reply, you'll note she has already answered that question.

"Here" meaning "this forum", since, technically, that would count as a game crack, which is illegal and we don't allow.
Edit: Read this and this. They may help.
Edit again: Also, when you uninstalled, did you make sure all registry files were removed? TS3 tends to leave stuff behind and, if you don't clear it out, it can corrupt a fresh install. Check here for instructions.
One more thing. What are you computer spec and what OS are you running?
lovelygoth101:
Thank you Joy. I thought Jenna meant in this section of the site. Yes, removing the registry files with REVO upon uninstall was another failed attempt with the EA Helpline.
Would PMBD be a better place to ask for what I need then? I don't understand why it's illegal since I do have the disc :confused: but I don't want to get anyone in any sort of legal trouble either.
Also, I've included some here; but is there specific spec info I should post? The DxDiag is too long to copy and paste on here fully (too many characters.)
