I installed the Razor version, cracked it, then downloaded the updater, ran that, let it update.
It wouldn't work without re-applying the cracked exe though. I can't remember the exact error I got though, I'll find out tonight.
Pretty sure thats what I did too.. and yeah had to put the EXE back in, cause sims3 same up with an error saying couldnt find the CD or something.
And also, i like your "I'll find out tonight" comment, is that a: "im at work now, ill check tonight, but couldnt be with out the sims for more than 30mins so im on the forums"? thats what im like at work... hehe.

Ai yi yi.
If, hypothetically, one has the RELOADED version, and it works, does this hypothetical person who might hypothetically have torrented (hypothetically) the RLD version need to mess about with it more? I'm of the "if it ain't (too) broken, don't fix it" school of thought, and it is working, but I--or, um, this hypothetical person--would also like to avoid patching issues and such in the future.
This hypothetical person is not overly enamored with TS3 "as is", but hypothetically MIGHT enjoy the Awesomeware Version of the game, and thus is not immediately zorching it off his or her hypothetical harddrive.
Something like that.
So. Pros and Cons of messing about with the RLD torrent version / downloading MOAR CRAP to install? Higher version numbers in the Razor version are not particularly compelling reasons, in my mind, as The FOJ seems to believe the two versions are, for all intents and purposes, identical in every important area.

I must point out though, that there doesn't seem to be ANY difference with the speed between the versions that I have found, both are painfully slow.
Watching my sims sleep isn't my idea of fun.
I am also having this issue with the Reloaded version. I suspect this is not the fault of the game, but rather due to speed of processor and capability of video card. I find that when I lower screen resolution (which makes the whole thing look like a stretched pile of steaming faeces) I can actually discern changes in speed. I have taken to doing this during sleep and when all sims are at work, just to get through the night, so to speak.

If it's not going to solve the speed problem or offer anything obviously shiny, I am not going to bother with the razor version. I sense that there is a chance that it still may not be the absolutely confirmed final version, the RLD version works for now, and there will be confirmation of actual final release versions next week.

Got it in one :D I have checked this site far too often since the first pirate release of TS3... I hope my boss isn't aware of this!
I'm a long time lurker though, I just felt an itching need to contribute today. Hmm

I'm guessing that's the problem too. I can easily and seamlessly (spelling?!) play with the graphics/settings maxed and in high resolution, but if this is the only way round the problem without resorting to a new laptop, then so be it! I'll try this tonight, thanks for the suggestion!

I just got the Razor version by that 711mb patch overwrite thing.
...No changes in video card load for me. I'd hoped they'd put a framerate limiter on the thing, but no - ~1200fps at intro movie, and ~400fps at menus according to ATITool (edit: and the Sims 3 fps tool via "fps on" cheat), resulting in graphics card fry-age. (HD3850) Changing the refresh rate does sod all as far as that problem is concerned, btw.
