Fix for "incompatible base game" error message horseshittery.
TheSimsandwich:
Wait, so the solution is to nuke it?
That's not a fix, more of a reconstruction.

Very true DarkBlue, although doing a clean install of the game can be a valid process of elimination step if it doesn't work when you try to patch over the top.
It sometimes works, it sometimes doesn't, but I figure you might as well try it and see if you can save your install.

You don't need to uninstall WA at all, you can just patch the base game while it's installed.

Don't you think I would have tried that first, rather than wasting an obnoxious amount of time? I tried patching the base game, and got various incompatible patch messages.

I couldn't have known whether or not you had tried that already, I was just suggesting it because it had worked for me. However, I should have worded that post better; I edited it to clarify what I meant.
