Patching problem for Sims 3

<< < (3/7) > >>

Lum:
I have a legit base game (properly patched) and arr'd WA. WA didn't even want to install because of wrong region. Changed base game to 2 and it installed.

Then it didn't want to patch through EA installer, so I found all the patches released and installed them one by one ---2.0, then 2.2, then the final one. Worked just fine. BUT I didn't use the crack for WA, I used the real exe, so watch out for that.

I have a Mac and my game is patched to 1.4.6.1  I keep trying to patch but it keeps telling me something is wrong. When I look at the Log it says this in red

Examining File : /Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Game/Bin/Shaders_Win32.precomp  -> SHA1 Error

that is all that is in red, all that seems to be wrong

Pull the original off the cd and put it in place of that one. Maybe, I'm not sure how different Macs are. Did you ever download one of the original no censor hacks? They used to change that file.

My God My God. I am about ready to ball my eyes out over here.
I BOUGHT an official Digital Download copy of TS3. It is vers 1.1.6.107
That is what it was when I downloaded it (like a week after it came out. I kind of havent really played it since about nov last year). It has never updated. I have tried all of the workarounds and solutions that I have seen on the internet (on the official forum, and on modthesims... I have even contacted EA and gone through the crap of sending them screenshots etc. They can't help me!) I've repaired permissions, I have done a complete and total uninstall (moving my backup files to an external drive) and reinstall several times. I have created an entirely different administrator account on my computer JUST for using TS3.

It isn't even REGISTERING that it is out of date! The launcher says that my game is up to date! I have installed it and had 'automatic updates' ticked, I have installed it and had 'automatic updates' unticked. I have refreshed. I have deauthorised and reauthorised. I have meticulously checked that it is installing in the right place.
Now I tried to install HELS and it wouldn't install because my base game isn't up to date!
The game will run with XML hack mods but not core mods (like awesome, or I also tried inteen). I have also removed these completely from the game, reinstalled it and tried to patch again - still no luck.

I am really at my wits end. Please, is there anyone out there who can help me?
