Having trouble patching? Here's what to do:
First download this file:
Note:
This is for region 2 (ie. European version) of TS3. If you have the region 1 (ie. US version) then please seek help elsewhere. To find out which version you have, open TS3 game launcher and check lower left corner. Then quickly close the launcher for it will open a portal to the depths of hell and release evils of unimaginable horror.
1. Modify HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Sims\The Sims 3\SKU value to 2
(For 32bit, the key is under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Sims\The Sims 3). If you're on XP, GBAD for all the shit you've been giving us Vista users.
2. Extract content of the above package and override the files in your TS3 folder.
3. Apply the [url=http://na.llnet.eadownloads.ea.com/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_1.2.7.00002_from_1.0.631.00002.exe]Sims3_1.2.7.00002_from_1.0.631.00002.exe patch.
4. Apply Awesomemod (cause it's awesome and TS3 would not be worth playing w/o it)
5. ???
6. PROFIT!!!
More Note:
If you got *bleep* over by Reloaded like I did, you need to download a patch that will replace the FullBuild0.package file. The correct file size should be 1,023,864,748 bytes. If you don't know how to get it, you do not deserve to play this game.
Credit:
- I stole all the files off the interwebs, mostly from this board.
- Awesomemod is made by J. M. Pescado, who shall always be praised as the one true god. Also if you're the FBI looking for a scapegoat, he's the mastermind behind it all.
- The credit for other files I'm too lazy to look up or list. I claim no authority over them nor responsiblity. Use at your own risk.
I have region 2 game and this worked for me without having to modify any keys.
(I tried looking for the key but couldn't find it, so perhaps I'm just not awesome enough. :-\)
Anyways, worked like a charm. Thanks! :D

Because I have nothing better to do right now at 4:30am, I'll go through it.

The latest version of Pescado's Awesomemod will not work without the latest patch from EA?
Correct. Pescado has already answered this question, probably more than once, but I only caught it the first time. Also, the information is on the Awesome Mod download page that the patch is now figured into the mod.
Quote from: Audrey
If that is the case, I need to download a version of the patch in order to have my game speed up and also to access Pescado's latest hacks?
Correct. You need to bring your game from whatever version you have to 127.
Quote from: Audrey
Checking in the .sku file I have version 615 of the Sims 3. I bought my game in South Africa.
This, I believe, is partially why no one has answered thus far. I, myself, have seen perhaps only one other mention of a version 615, and no patch links were involved. It's my understanding that your best bet is to go the official route and ask your regional customer service about the problem. If all else fails, succumb to the evil of the launcher and pray for the best.
Quote from: Audrey
Please can somebody guide me step by step through what patch I need to download to get it and awesomemod working in my game.
That's not likely to happen, for the reason mentioned in my above statement, and because if the information is available, it's already in this thread or another.
Quote from: Audrey
Editing to say that if I can't get the patch working after someone kindly directs me on what to do, then how do I get the previous version of Awesomemod back assuming my first sentence is correct.
The only way to get an earlier, unsupported version of Awesome Mod is to hope someone else has been saving them all along and is willing to share with you.
Quote from: Audrey on 2009 July 02, 08:07:01
Okay, I know I am officially nagging, but my questions were phrased in such a way as to give yes, no answers, except about the patch download.
You didn't get them because all of the answers you requested are already available.
Quote from: Audrey
My next problem is that I reinstalled awesomemod pre patch version because I couldn't use the most recent version because I need help to install the patch.
I went into showconfig to see all the options. I want to enable the CAS slider range so I typed in EXACTLY what the code was followed by the : True and it came up with 'unknown command cassliderscaleincreased. So then I tried itwithout the : and it still came up with the same error message.
You stated this a little too vaguely to truly describe what's happening. Did you actually type out "setconfig cassliderscaleincreased true" and it came up as unknown? My problem with typing in the commands is that I almost always put an extra 'S' at the end of "cas", resulting in error. If you've ruled these common issues out, it narrows down the possibilities. It helps potential repliers offer viable solutions if they know what you've already ruled out on your own. Also, give exact version numbers, like 1.0.615.00003 instead of just "615", as I can't imagine most would know every region number available. On occasion, it also helps to know what operating system you're running, so people can provide you with "step-by-step" instructions that actually pertain to your setup.
Quote from: Audrey
Could anyone kindly enlighten me as to what I need to do to fix this problem. I really need the facial sliders.
I had to chuckle at this, because it seems that asking someone to do something "kindly" almost never results in a kindly done action. Especially not here. Shame on you for being so demanding!
Audrey:
Grumblesnort, I do thank you for this info. I won't ask what you are doing up so late. It is 11h20 am in SA now.
I managed to fix my problems with the CAS (I didn't put in 'setconfig')
You have no idea how many threads I have trundled through to try an find answers to my questions.
Okay, actual version number is 1.0.615.00107 and I'm on Windows XP
Thanks again for your patience and help.

I tried reinstalling the reloaded version that was the 615 release. Then I updated it using the reloaded to razor patch download. And the sku version says it's 1.0.631.00002...which is the retail, as it should be.
Then I downloaded the 1.2.7.00002 from 1.0.631.00002 from a link here. And it says it's the wrong damn region. Which is bullshit.
What should I do here?
Edit registry so that the sku matches. Instruction on previous page in my post.
Caffeinated:
Has anyone figured out how to fix the patch stalling on sims3Launcher.exe? I've tried reinstalling, to see if it was just an outdated launcher, but that seemed to do nothing but waste my time.
