I'm really annoyed that JM is forcing us to patch up to use AM. For the love of heavy machinery, please leave a link somewhere with the old versions of AM. You could throw them on your MTS account or something.
Are they cupping your balls, Pescado? Why are you sleeping with the enemy?
There is a good reason that JM is only supplying one version and it has nothing to do with "sleeping with the enemy". It's almost impossible for one person to support multiple versions of a core mod like AwesomeMod. If he gives people access to older versions, he'll get lots more outdated bug reports and requests for new features that have already been implemented in the newest version and demands for removal of the expiry date. Why would he want that kind of hassle?
If I could think of a good solution to these problems, I'd be willing to upload (unsupported) older versions for every patch level.
I understand all that yet it's still annoying. I bet most people here wouldn't even patch up if JM didn't update AM to work with the patch to begin with. Anyways, I'll just wait and see.

Well we would eventually as expansions or even stuff packs are forcing updating.
Patching by itself is not a issue, things worked relative fine until the 1.8/2.3 patch were they decided to modify the launcher in a futile attempt to protect their rip-off Store, also the reason that happened is unlike TS2 were things were very open so the modding community could work with and not end up creating too many conflicts down the line, TS3 is the classic "closed" development were there is no communication, you have dig in and see how things works.
Also the side effect was now the community have a distrust of .sims3pack wrapper as we never know when they are going to start to mess around with the Launcher, the .package format is not something they can mess much with since its the basics of the game.

I get an "Invalid file found" error when trying to patch. It does not say the name of the file. I removed framework and all content, as well as cleared cache. Not using any modified .exe either.

If you searched for "invalid file found," you'd have seen that there have been multiple users with the same problem. Some of the threads are a mess, though, so I'll tell you what worked for me half an hour ago :p
Check to see that you are using the original .exe file and the original TSLHost.dll in Game/Bin instead of a crack that came with a torrent. If you are using a nocd crack that replaced these files the patch installer will barf. Replace the cracked files with the originals and use Awesomemod for the nocd instead. Hope that works for you.

No, I stopped using modified files/cracks when AM allowed no-cd checks. The only thing I can think otherwise of, is that the launcher broke a while back after WA. I never really bothered to fix it, since I don't use it. The launcher still opens, but new content and previous content could not be installed anymore. So, I moved my .dbc files to load with AM. All of that is safely out of the way on the desktop. The launcher is blocked from internet access, I have been downloading/ installing the patches manually. Not using the stupid EA Downloader, I'm out of ideas. The correct version is displayed in the launcher, likewise skuversion.txt, code_version.txt, and version.tag. What else could be considered an invalid file?
Edit: I used the patch log viewer at MTS, it's saying there was an issue with skuversion.txt. Unfortunately, I have no idea why, because it looks legit and I haven't changed it. Will go to search to see if anyone uploaded a more recent bin folder on the forums.
