Razor1911 release vs. Reloaded release
rufio:
Is the Reloaded version really different enough that it won't be able to be patched with the official patch? I really don't want to spend another 2.5 days downloading yet another version of TS3.

Ok, I can at least confirm that updating with the Sims3_1.0.632.00002_from_1.0.631.00002.exe that can be found at EA works with the Razor release. Trying to update again makes the patch state that the game already is updated. Strange thing is that this is not reflected in the launcher, good thing is that the main executable doesn't change which means the crackfix still works. Maybe this patch is a secret EAxis plan to make all arr-mateys walk the plank? ;)
Anyone who knows if there's any way to check the version ingame?
Edit: Nevermind. skuversion.txt says 1.0.632.00002. Strange that the launcher still reports 1.0.631 though.

So wait, if you use the official patch on the Razor release, you don't need to update the crack? That's unusual. Are you sure the patch fixes are holding? I guess without a proper changelog it's hard to say...
In about 3 and a half hours I'll have installed the Razor version and will immediately begin testing.

If you're talking about .615 build, then no, that won't take the patch - I tried and the updater told me it hit an invalid file as soon as it came across skuversion.txt. I was tempted to manually change the build number in that file to .631, but since there may be other changes (or places that number is recorded inside of the files), I left it as was.
I'm also currently grabbing the Razor version to see whether it makes any difference...

Yeah, I found it kinda strange too. Either the TS3.exe installed by the razor iso is precracked and makes the patch installer choke without ouputting any errors (which also sounds strange) or the 632 only changes stuff outside the .exe.
Here's how I did it:
1. Install Razor release.
2. Backup TS3.exe
3. Install 632
4. Compare TS3.exe filesize and version numbers to my backup, pre patch TS3.exe, which checked out identical.
5. Install crackfix.
