I'm looking for the command one enters in build mode to designate a school for 6s or 12s only. I saw the information once on this site, but cannot find it now (I'd even used it once about 3 months ago for another world I play). The response with the command had been in reference to clearing out mixed ages from a school with students already enrolled, if that jogs anyone's memory.
enrollall 6/12 while building a school. Once the schools are sorted and no longer mixed, future assignments will automatically favor unmixed schools.

I have no doubt that it was user error of some sort because 99% of the time something like this is. I'll just reinstall/patch the most recent one. I did remember to delete cache though, for I have made that mistake before. I didn't think to check if the patch installed properly or if my base game had updated as well. Thanks for the idea.
If you patch using the launcher and have multiple games, Base, WA and HELS, the launcher often misses one of them, which could cause the core mismatch problem. Go to MTS, download and run the dashboard from delphy, it will show you what game versions you have, and any corrupt and conflicting CC/mods.

With multiple games, I've found that you have to download the latest patch for all of them (base game, WA, HELS, etc.), instead of just the last one you bought.

Plain and simple, I am unaware of where to find that very basic HTML page where you download crap.
Edit: Found it by checking and removing the filename from the actual download link in the awesomemod thread. I am assuming it is the one found under "test", updated on the 24th? Any particular reason this hasn't been posted? >_> I am sure I saw pescado explain that it takes barely a few minutes to update for compatability, and if so, why would it sit there for days without being made official? just curious.

You do *not* have to download all patches individually. Opening the base game launcher and opening the WA launcher, etc, is, in theory, no different. But I found that in opening the base game launcher (from the base game folder), I got prompted to update HELS and WA. And then when I opened the WA launcher, it said the base game was incompatible, and I was prompted to update it.
So either opening the launcher a few times or opening different launchers seems to force the game to download all the patches. They expect you to play through the launcher, meaning they apparently expect this to never be an issue, I guess. The game will patch in full without downloading the patches individually as long as you try a couple times and make sure it is no longer prompting you to update.

The last time I tried that trick, it didn't work. When I clicked the base game launcher, it actually launched the HELS launcher, the same with WA, even though I clicked the base game launcher file from the sims 3 folder itself, and it gave me the game version for HELS saying it was up-to-date. I gave up after that and just wait for the patches to made available from one of the many sites that hosts them, and manually install them.
