I was having the same problem, and though I used the "patch log viewer" (http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=350186) that determined gameversion.txt (or something like this) needed to be replaced, replacing it did not solve the invalid file program and patch log viewer told me it needed to be replaced after each time I replaced it!
Prior to this I kept getting an error that my basegame needed to be updated, even though I just finished installing the latest WA patch on my WA release. Shouldn't THAT have updated my basegame??
I just uninstalled the whole thing again, TS3 is not good enough for the hassle.
Can you use the download manager to install patches on RAZOR/RELOADED releases? I find it difficult to find the correct patch versions (and now, apparently, the correct ORDER, since I needed to install a basegame update prior to my WA update..... I guess?).
You no not need some kind of program to read the patch log file. It's found in the temp folder in a file after the failed install of a patch. I have heard that you can use the Download Manager to install the patches but personally I don't trust it. To solve this problem, I removed and replaced all files that I had modified, then downloaded every patch and installed each one in order. The ones I didn't need told me so.

I just wanna know how to patch the game when i installed ts3 on a different drive. It wants to always installs to the windows drive, but i make it on my F drive. . . But EA said i cant patch the game when its not installed to the default directory . . . Are they lying or can i just open the patch binary files and it will patch?
J. M. Pescado:
That can't be right, because I have the most twistedly arcane disk layout, and it manages to find the Sims just fine, despite the amount of armtwisting I had to do to make it even install to begin with.
Chryseis:
I shifted the game over to F drive, from the windows drive, changed the registry AFTER i patched it up to 1.7 or w/e. The one before the shit hit the fan. And, its working xD . . . Mind you, im still having a few issues, but thats due to the fact that the game is like a hormonal PMS'n teenager.
I haven't tried to patch up, nor do i intend too. I will wait for EA to release a new one, then wait for feed back lol. . . But, im going to assume, that if it works for you, patching with/without the launcher will be easy?
Vylaina:
The same thing happened to me - AFTER I'd sorted out the getting-the-region-code-to-work business. EA is really pissing me off lately. :/
What I did was go to Simprograms (www.simprograms.com) and went to patches. I downloaded both the .001 and .002 version of the patch, because I wasn't sure which one worked. I found the right one and now my game works fine. Until the next fiasco.
