Stupid Sims 3 patch
Claeric:
If you must use the launcher, open it repeatedly until it no longer says there are patches. It will not always fully patch. Then open each launcher from each game/bin folder you have, as different ones will work differently and display different information. Do this until hovering over each icon in the corner displays the proper version number.
But then again, there should be no reason you must use the launcher.

Thank you Rubyelf.
I have never manually downloaded a patch (always automatic EA patches), so at the risk of sounding DUMB, into which folder should I put this patch once downloaded. Anyone feel free to answer and go easy on the insults. Thank you.
Azureale:
It doesn't matter where you put it. Just save it where you like and then double click to install.
Willee:
Thanks Azureale. I ran the version that Rubyelf suggested and can now successfully open my launcher but it comes up with an error message:
"It looks like you have installed an unofficial game modification that does not match your current version of the Sims 3. We recommend that you either uninstall these game modifications or get updated versions of them - otherwise you may experience crashes or significant bugs. Do you want to quit?"
I notice that on page 1 of this thread, the patch is slightly different with a '6001' and '7001' at the end of both strings instead of '2' which is in the string which I ran. Should I install the patch on the first page as well?
How would I uninstall a patch if it were necessary?
At this stage I am quitting until I get verification from someone that it is okay to continue.
Thanks

It just means update your mods. Or if you updated them then update your game to match them since mods will usually be created and updated for the most recent version of the game.
Also if you are that timid and need that much reassurance and hand holding then maybe you really shouldn't be using mods.
