New Computer-Install and Patching Question
Eeyore:
The Sims 3 stuff is chockablock full of cultural references. For instance today I noticed that the crystal ball set decoration description references both the Lord of the Rings and the Magic 8 Ball. But I suppose, then, that since the Hidden Springs sims are neither aliens nor witches they are arbitrarily green. Unless the reference is to Kermit, since Muppets have eternal youth? And it ain't easy being green? Or maybe Hidden Springs is supposed to be like Brigadoon? But then the sims would need to be green ... tartan.

So you ran the MTS patch tool only at the end?
I'm presuming you're talking to Jezzer, but I'm going to comment on this anyway.
I do not use the MTS patch tool and I don't actually understand why anyone does. In my view it's just adding yet another thing to be updated and managed and made compatible with the already dodgy sims game. Personally, I do not see what is so hard about downloading a patch and double-clicking it. YMMV

Actually there's nothing to keep up to date; you just download the file from MTS unpack and run it. It downloads the patches and installs them for you. I recommend the MTS patch tool because it's very simple and easy to use and it always patches the entire game. All expansion and stuff packs, no exception. Last year I posted here about bugs that were already fixed because the super patcher didn't patch up my game properly so I ended up having to use MTS's patching tool either way.
I don't think it's really necessary if you play the game regularly and patch up as soon as they are released. If you're doing a complete re-install or haven't played the game for a long while, I would advice you to use MTS's tool.

It's definitely easier for a lot of people, and much less likely to fuck up than the launcher.

Fair enough, but I don't use the launcher either. My launcher is not allowed on the internetz, it can't be trusted to behave itself.
