When I try to launch The Sims 3, I get a dialogue saying, "Unable to start game; Service initialization failed (0x0175dcbb)."

★★ Novice
When I try to launch The Sims 3 by running TS3W.exe, I get a dialogue saying, "Unable to start game; Service initialization failed (0x0175dcbb)." If I try and run the launcher, I get an error saying, "There was an error during startup. Please see the Log for more details. I have The Sims 3 base game installed as well ass the following expansion and stuff packs:
Ambitions

Diesel Stuff

Fast Lane Stuff
Generations
High-End Loft Stuff
Late Night
Master Suite Stuff
Outdoor Living Stuff
Pets
Seasons
Showtime
Town Life Stuff
World Adventures

I have tried uninstalling all the games and using CCleaner to erase all registry entries remaining, then reinstalling, and it didn't help. I have tried uninstalling all mods and clearing the cache, and I am still unable to play. I also believe I have tried a manual uninstall.

 

I can't think of anything else to try, and I have no idea what the problem is in the first place. Any help would be appreciated.

Exactly the same thing happend to me too, I installed some content from a site and i got this dialogue. And i know it's not from the site, because I installed from it many times on my old PC and it worked perfectly.
