This is getting tired. Why EAxis made the game with different regions, I don't know, but they did. If your launcher has packed it in, and you're running windows, try downloading the EA downloader, a Google search will give you plenty of options, and re-install it. When the launcher dies, it is usually because the EADM didn't patch properly, re-installing will usually get the launcher working again.
In the meantime, you can get different patches from here http://www.simprograms.com/the-sims-3-patches/
Either by looking at the launcher, or by using Delphy's dashboard, available at MTS, you can check the full version number. The last few numbers give you the region code you need.
Edit: fixed your=you're
Thank you so much! I managed to get the patch installed!

That frustrates me to absolutely no end. They will light objects off lots (rocks), lots will be lit by off-lot lights (street lamps), but lights on lots will not spread past the edge. Apparently this was possible in the base base base base game, but an early patch nerfed it.
Why not go through the iterative process to find out when this happened and take pix?
I actually considered reinstalling simply to find out WHICH file may have been altered, to see if copying it from the disc and replacing would explode the game or not. But...I am happy with the current stability of my installation and really would rather not uninstall it and reinstall it. Not that I could do much with the information anyway, as since it's a lighting functionality property it's likely a shader issue which nobody knows how to deal with yet. :(

I bought a custom built gaming pc and installed the game and patched in the correct order as advised. I then replaced all of my saved files, mods etc...
The thing is, it's not set up to the internet just yet so I got the cumulative patches from thesims3.com. I saved them to my USB and transferred them to my new pc.
Everything was fine until I tried to check my sims3pack downloads, which had been done through the launcher.
I needed to find a file that was cataogued incorrectly and was appearing on my baby and child sims thus making them deformed.
None of the items had the pictures and not everything that had been installed was listed. They were showing up fine in the game though.
As soon as I found one of the files I needed to get rid of, I uninstalled it. But, all of the lots I had downloaded showed in the list but nothing else.
Is it possible that it's the patch to blame?
It was working fine on my laptop until I got this new patch.

If you just copy and pasted the bad item to the new computer, rather than installing it through the launcher, it will not show up in the launcher. Are you certain it was not copied over from your USB. It could be possible that it was installed both ways and you have 2 copies.
