Stupid Sims 3 patch

<< < (10/18) > >>

gumbyscout:
I used to patcher off of mod the sims, and it patched everything up to the newest versions, except world adventures. The 2.7.7.006002 to 2.9.10.007002 patch fails at 99% because it claims the TS3EP01.exe is invalid  ???. Does anyone happen to have a non invalid 2.7 executable? I never touched the executable, so I don't know how it could be broken other than eaxis breaking it themselves.

vorpal:
According to the official site the launcher will always patch only the base game and the most recent EP or SP. This makes me wonder whether manually patching the other expansions nevertheless is actually a good or necessary thing.
I am asking myself this also because upgrading to Ambitions has borked more things in WA than just the excavation sites when on vacation as I have now been lucky to discover after playing France last night (see the What's borked thread). But as I am on a Mac I cannot update manually anyway at the moment as I haven't found a manual download on simsprograms yet. (Are there other sites, btw?)

I tried loading a save and it got stuck almost finishing loading. I think that would work if didn't already have everything else patched.

The solution to the launcher not even showing the update is to update the Download Manager.

That may be an unrelated issue. Try temporarily removing or disabling all your mods and custom content and seeing if it will load. If not then try a new game (again without custom content and mods).

If you get the game to load in those instances it's likely some old mod or downloaded content causing the issue.

In theory, you shouldn't explicitly need old episodes patched as long as the base game and most recent episode are.
