Patch 1.3 Released
Leticron:
@ShortyBoo: Mods are no problem (like Pes already stated, those are new folders that are not involved in the patch process).
To find out where the patch process choked, you'll have to find the most recent file rtpatch.log on your drive, open it with any editor and scroll down to the last line. The exact location of said file depends on your OS and your login account.
Typical candidates for easily overlooked, altered files would be:
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Ini\VideoCamera.ini" (better camera mod).
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\Shaders_Win32.precomp" (the old censor remover ).
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\TS3.exe" (No CD Patch).
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\TSLHost.dll" (also delivered with some no-CD patch).
The Launcher must be closed during patching since it might or might not be altered by the patch and the OS usually denies the modification of files in use through patches.

I ran the patch and it worked perfectly, even with all mods installed, because I live dangerously like that. Without running the game, I installed new awesome mod update, deleted scriptscache, then ran the game and it's still alive.
So, here's a helpful new voodoo spell: delete the scriptscache.
(Bare in mind I have a Reloaded-to-Razor that I had to fix way back with the first patch. So Reloaded/Razor users should probably look into that.)

Well I've had no problems installing the patch, but after playing an hour or so this evening, I'm WISHING I hadn't installed :(
My sim has become extremely ... slow? :-\ In between every single action she does, she stops and stands still for several sim minutes. Poor thing was starving by the time she got dinner made. Go to fridge .. stand still for a few minutes.. open fridge .. stand still for a few minutes.. get ingredients .. stand still for a few minutes .. walk to food processor .. stand still.. And it's not that the game is lagging, the minutes on the clock are moving along normally and animations like the stereo and water spouting out of the broken shower are perfectly smooth.

I am having the same problem -- takes the Sims like 2 hrs to get supper done... plus I cannot just click on the bed to have them go to bed -- they just stand around as if they are blocked by something... I have to get them to go to the stairs, then up the stairs, then to the bedroom door, then through the door and then to bed.... The arrival of the schoolbus/carpool cannot get them to go to it... they stay lost in the house or yard... I have to direct them step by step to the bus/car....

EDIT TO ADD:
Direct link for patches in Mac OS X.
US 1.3 patch (zone code 1)
Europe 1.3 patch (zone code 2)
Digital Download 1.3 patch (zone code 107)
Thanks for these links, but for some reason they won't work with the direct download version (yeah, I know, I bought it ugh). There is bitching and moaning at the bbs about the direct download version needed a different patch that is not available yet. Do you know any workarounds or do you think I'm stuck waiting for EAxis to fix the latest fail?

Well, I can't actually get the patch to install - when I try and do it from the launcher, just clicking on "Update Now" causes the game to shut itself down every time. When I downloaded the patch from here to try that instead, I get this error message, even after restarting the computer:

Actually, I can't get it to uninstall either - the same error pops up. Any ideas about what is causing it? My brother said that it's some kind of corrupted file and then waltzed off leaving me not much clearer.
