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.
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.
It was unrelated. Super computer was causing it to not load. It would still be nice to be able to update world adventures though :/.

Just wanted to mention how much I love you sick twisted bastards. EA latest patched utterly fucked my game. Couldn't get it to work was getting the "base game is not compatible blah.." even trying to install the other patches didn't work. However the patch utility talked about above from mod the sims worked perfectly. Its fixed now. Apparently the launcher had decided that to delete some of WA updates. "Why do they pay the ppl who work at EA?". Anyways thanks for the help.

Consider yourselves happy, people. I can`t even patch. I`m getting an "invalid file found" crap every single fucking time. -_-
Fun facts - I`m doing a manual installation, AMB, HELS and WA patched w/o any problems, and I`m not using cracked .exe or .dll files (AM is just fine, thankyouverymuch). Never had patching issues before (as in - never), so where the hell is this patch pulling that invalid file from? And it`s so fast, I can`t even SEE which file it`s referring to. I just might uninstall this game and leave it like that. More free space on my HDD, less nervous breakdowns.
Thanks for feeling me like a 12, EA. No, really...

I found that too until I downloaded the utility. My game didn't like the version of the patch I was using (I had ignored a patch and was therefore trying to use the link patch and a bridging patch). The utility found me a single patch file that my game sucked happily right up.
Mosquito:
MM, are you referring to TS3 patch downloader? Well, I tried every other woodoo, so I might as well give it a shot. Here walks a man who`s got nothing to loose...
