World Adventures install/update problem
LOolyharb:
For me both arred games installed fine but when i run the game after the startup videos the games crashes. Any help?
Harumph:
I haven't experienced any crashes at all, so I'm sorry but I can't offer any help on that score.
I did, at one point in China, experience the dreaded "error 16" on saving, which I thought patch 1.7.9 was supposed to eliminate. ??? The game didn't crash, though, it just let me continue without saving. My Sim was asleep in her tent at the time. When she woke up, I took her outside and tried saving again, and this time it saved with no problem and I haven't had the "error 16" issue since, knock wood.
In fact, aside from not being able to use AM, I'm not seeing any issues at all with the game still unpatched at the basic WA version 2.0.86 level.

I have an arred base game for region 1 and arred WA for region 2. I did a fresh reinstall of the base game and did progressive patches up to 1.7.9.002001 Then I had to change the SKU to region 2 to get WA to install. I installed WA with no problem, then changed the SKUs for both games back to region 1. I tried updating from the launcher and it said my game was already up to date, so I searched the Web for a patch to download (Sims3_2.2.8.002001_from_2.0.86.002001), but every time I run it, it goes all through the process and then throws up an error message: Update Error: Invalid File Found.
I've replaced all the original files, removed all CC and I still get the same error. The game runs fine without the update but of course, I can't use AM because I get this: "Warning: Non-critical core mismatch!" which from reading posts I understand means the game's not patched to 2.2.8.
I'm at a loss. Any ideas?
Harumph really "hit the nail on the head" for me. I purchased Sims3 (region1) initially and arred version of WA (region 2). ANyone, Please help.. thanks

If your WA version is for region 2, then that's why the patch ending in 001 won't work. I got the
second one and it installed like a charm. AM is working fine, no more crashes or save errors so far (knock wood).
Problem solved until the next patch.

I haven't tried this, but it seems that in order to install two different regions you had to change the original to match the one you were installing. After that you changed them both back to region 1. Perhaps if you had kept the same updated region it would update? Have you tried using the Patch Log View @ MTS? I'd like to know how you resolve this issue.
