I CANNOT install the new patch (1.3) UPDATE: skuversion.txt
Motoki:
So is that why people were running around saying they couldn't install custom content? It works for me and I had no idea what the hell they were talking about. Didn't occur to me might be a Mac thing. Weird.
chaos:
No, I had the same problem, but am not a Mac user. It turned out to be an issue with the stupid EA Download Manager. After reinstalling that, my downloads work fine.
Marhis:
Just for the record, I envy the Mac users who can't patch. I reported my experience on the BBS, if you want to know what you're missing.
kuronue:
Is rtpatch always called rtpatch? By "temp directory" you mean the windows temp directory, or possibly a subfolder of the sims install path? Because if all of the above are true, I don't appear to have it. I also don't have the 1.2.7 patch - not to mention the forum search here apparently doesn't like periods in any way, shape, or form. Searching by hand got me a few links to the 1.2.7 patch that don't appear to work any more.
So, my question now is, a) will not being 1.2.7 when applying the patch give the "invalid file" error and, if so, where can I get the older patch?
and b) where else should I be looking for the rtpatch file? It's possible windows search just failed me, as I did a search of the entire hard drive out of frustration. Or is there a circumstance in which this file won't be generated?
Also, am I retarded or does the EA site not let you download the patches? I did log in. Do I have to install the EADM?
ETA: Apparently, I may be falling victim to a "feature" in which Vista refuses to search in any folder named temp, or any subfolders under that level. Combing the windows temp file by hand still reveals nothing, though, so where is the temp folder the rtpatch should be in? Some virtual directory bullshit some place? (I'm posting from a linux machine, hence my lack of knowledge of the intricate workings of the accursed microsoft machine I'm borrowing)

They had withdraw the patch until further fix. See here: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/78656.page
Mac versions are borked. Oh teh surprise!
So I guess I'm happy that I have to run 1.2 and AwesomeMod by changing the date on my computer to 7/31 every time I play. I'm so torn, I want the Awesome Story Mode and such, but I don't want and can't get the Mac 1.3 patch (and I have never gotten the Unholy Hybrid to work). After reading your experiences Mahris I'm happy to be doing what I am for now. I caught myself looking at a PC at the store the other day thinking "just for gaming" and about shot myself on the spot.
