Works fine on Razor, though.
I had used the update to Razor patch a while back, and my skuversion.txt right now said my game is 1.0.631.00002
but the patch .exe setup complains I have the wrong version patch and won't install, even though I grabbed the matching one from Awesomemod main thread so it should be the right version. (00002)
Is there a known reason that might happen? Is it upset it can't have access to the launcher.exe (Because I disabled it) or does it determine version only from the skuversion.txt
It seems to only check skuversion.txt, so a quick one-character change will fix that particular error. I had four, but beat it into submission.
chaos:
Traviswroteit: AwesomeMod is configurable. If you want random single sims having random babies that aren't related to them, then you can do so. Just enable the parthenogenesis option when configuring AwesomeMod. I don't remember if this function is enabled or disabled by default, but, either way, it's easy enough to change.
phnxflyng: No, the AwesomeMod does not contain the latest patch. You still need it. I would recommend getting a nice wireless card for your computer, and downloading the patch. There might be a non-launcher version of the patch someplace, but I didn't need it, so I didn't pay attention. There are at least two patch-related threads right here on MATY. Perhaps you should try visiting those threads.

If you're talking about the RLD to RZR update then you will need to do some registry editting to get it to work properly. Locate the SKU file in your registry by either searching (CTRL+F) "SKU" or manually locating the Sims 3 folder. In Vista64bit edition, it's found in this directory: HLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Sims\The Sims 3
If you use CTRL+F make sure it's the Sims 3 folder and not some other folder Look at the directory to verify.
Next right-click on SKU and change the value from 7 to 2. That should fix it. Enjoy!
Let me know if you can get the patch installed this way and have no problems with the installation process of the patch. I'm curious to know if you experience the same problem I did from this thread:

I'm getting an invalid file found while trying to update. Can someone provide the contents from this folder and upload them for me please?
Game\Bin\HelpPages\CZE_CZ\
It's specifically crashing on: Game\Bin\HelpPages\CZE_CZ\Help_Updates.html but I figure I'd copy the entire contents of the folder. I have the RLD version updated to RZR but without the 632 patch.
I can find the files on the game disc but it does nothing to copy them over to game directory so I'm guessing it's a problem from RLD version

Your file worked great and there was indeed a discrepancy with the Help_Updates.html file. It seems however there is a problem with the other Help_Updates.html files from that same folder. Now it's whining about the DAN_DK Help_Updates.html file. I must again request if you could upload the entire contents from the HelpPages (~500KB)?
Thanks for any help.

Only because I'm feeling nice - http://rapidshare.com/files/248725053/HelpPages.rar

YES! That did the trick Bass Junkie. It installed with no problems after I replaced my HelpPages with the ones you provided. It'll surely come in handy for people who have the RLD to RZR version of the game.
Many thanks!
Kaze:
While updating the game with the new patch I ran into an error. The overall percentage of the process of the update gets caught at 81% which is the Game\Bin\Sims3Launcher.exe. I have no idea why the patch is giving me an error when it reaches this file, telling me "Invalid File Found". Is there any specific reason for this?

Note that if you got the 632 patch, you have to reinstall now.
I knew I was right to avoid that patch, don't fancy another 24 hours of downloading :P
Reversing the 632 patch should be easy enough.
This is ALL the 632 patch did:
Default.ini - added "InstallationRequired = 0"
GraphicsRules.sgr - in the very last line with the #, changed "E?-Kad}" to "0bfffcc9753aabac325f".
skuversion.txt - changed "1.0.631.00002" to "1.0.632.00002".
anyone tried to successfully reverse 632 to 631 using the above method?
Yeah, I just now tried it on mine. All I had to do was change 632 to 631 in skuversion.txt and the patch appeared to install without any problems.
