Patched to 1.4, sudden crashing
SuperRi:
I patched to 1.4 yesterday. My computer's not the best model by any means, but up until yesterday's patching, I had no problems playing (a very ugly version of) the game; however, my computer now shuts itself down with no warning after a few minutes of gameplay. It doesn't seem to be getting overheated, and I didn't have the problem before. Could it be the patch, or would it be something else? If the patch might be the culprit, how could I go about unpatching this damn thing? I'm living abroad and hence had to rely on the bugged EA website download to get the game, so any advice would be really helpful. I wish it threw error codes or SOMETHING at me, but all it's doing is shutting down. I'm playing mod-free at the moment.
Mootilda:
There's no way to "unpatch" a game.
Instead, you have to uninstall the entire game and then reinstall and patch only to 1.3.
kuronue:
The 1.3->1.4 patch doesn't actually change anything. 1.4 is 1.3 with less errors if it glitches out and doesn't install properly.
DMDye:
I patched to 1.4 yesterday (had 1.3) and my game just froze (not at 1 am) - so frozen that I had to restart my comp using the button. I'm no help, SuperRi, but please know that you are not alone with problems after the latest patch.
SuperRi:
I appreciate the replies. I figured there was no way to just remove one patch, but I've never had these sorts of problems before, so I figured if there WAS a way, you guys would be the ones to know. I also realized that 1.4 isn't any different from 1.3, but this problem has just started after patching yesterday, so I'm not sure what else it could be. I used to be able to run Sims 3 for hours upon mindless hours without any computer burn out, so five minute shut downs is a new development.
