Patching issues... *[solved]*
Jonesi:
Replacing the files or uninstalling? You might be better downloading the RAZOR version and starting from scratch.

Damnit... Here we go again I guess.

I think that this might be related to the problem that I was having earlier today because I'm pretty sure the error I had was invalid file found for code_version.txt. Unfortunately I wasn't paying a huge amount of attention to what the error messages actually said because I had a pretty good idea of what was actually wrong. My base game is region 1, and my WA is region 2. When I installed WA I changed the registry entry for my base game to region 2. I download my patches from simprograms.com. My base game is RZR1911 and my WA is Reloaded.
I updated WA to patch 2.4.7 today and then I tried to run the game and I got a message saying that my base game was still out of date. I checked the SKUversion.txt in EA/TS3/game/bin for the base game and it was still 1.8, so I downloaded the 1.9.22 patch for region 2, and I got that invalid file found error message. I noticed that the SKUversion.txt in game/bin for my base game is still set for region 1 (version number had .0001 at the end), so I downloaded the region 1 version of the 1.9 patch, and of course it told me that it was the wrong version, too. So, I edited my base game registry entry so that SKU said region 1 and ran the version 1.9.22.0001 patch. Everything worked perfectly, and I edited my registry again to change my base game region to 2 again. My game appears to be running normally now.

You got a bunch of things to do, to modify the reloaded version to a retail.
Here a walk-throug for the base game:
0. Complete game deinstall with EA Download-Manager and registry
1. Full install the Reload version
2. Run the sims3patch.exe, get it from http://all4tech.net/games/pcgames/page,1,3,160-the-sims-3-patch-up-reload-version-to-retail.html
3. Change Zone Code from 7 to 2 under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE => SOFTWARE => SIMS => THE SIMS 3 => SKU
4. Overwrite files from "Patch Fix Files" in "C:\Programme\Electronic Arts\Die Sims 3\Game\Bin\HelpPages" and
"C:\Programme\Electronic Arts\Die Sims 3\Game\Bin" (Sims3GDF.dll)
(get it here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b007101/n/PatchFixFiles.rar)
Now you actually have a retail version.
5. Apply Sims3_1.6.6.002002_from_1.0.631.00002.exe update patch
6. Apply Sims3_1.7.9.002002_from_1.6.6.002002.exe update patch
7. Install all CC-Items BEFORE udating to 1.8 (all before HELS?!)
8. For using the Launcher to install further CC go to http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,17743.0.html
an do exactly as it is written.
9. Apply "Sims3_1.8.25.003002_from_1.7.9.002002.exe"
10. Put AM in
11. Riverview does not show up?! Go use the SEARCH MOAR button.
I did not patch further until now, so I do not know, what more there will be on my list.
Edit due to many ESL errors and please, do use the "Thanks" button.
