1.5/1.6 Patch warning!
brownlustgirl:
What I read at MTS, contacting EA might get you a suggestion of buying an uber expensive video card to get the game working with the patch/WA.
Taken from this thread :

Found the problem. Nothing to do with mods. EA said that although my video card was capable of running the base game. That I would have to upgrade my vid card to Nividia GTX295 to run with newest update, despite the fact that my previous vid card met box listed requirements. Bunch of bull, but time to go shopping. Besides the "no loading time" Sims 3 is really beginning to feel like a waste of time.

What do they mean exactly. Do you need to get new drivers for your card or a totaly new one?
Got to check first then what card i'm using, although my game doesn't crash but just wont load.

They said I need a totally new one. I had newest updates. Running Windows XP with 2gig Ram. Had GeForce GT130. Ea suggested one of the $300-$500 dollar versions of the GeForce like GTX280-GTX295.
L&P WTF!!

Installing World Adventures caused my game to REdownload the patch.
I then made a copy of my existing family and opened the game with the Mods folder still out of the game...(so no AwesomeMod and no custom content from that folder in game).
I have sound and sims can move freely, etc. I basically did a quick op-check and shut the thing off.
I'll play again for 'real' when AM is updated...until then...(and I'm going to attempt to wait patiently)...
Someone noted last night elsewhere on the www that the patch doesn't seem to function properly without WA installed. I tend to think this may indeed be the case, at least for me.

I was going to ask the same thing but from what I'm gathering:
Don't.
Do.
Anything.
Just when I started enjoying TS3 again, all this madness starts to worry me a bit.
Also, as far as backup, what should I backup aside from Mods folder/Saves, I have Sims in my bin that I'm not ready to use; can I just backup my Library folder? Is that enough?

That depends on what you want to save. If you have any videos or screenshots then you should backup those folders also.
