The skintones might soon be fixed. HP over at MTS is *hinting* and *winking* a lot so she probably has something brewing.

Strange...The one that ends with .00002 is only 10mb, but the one with the .00107 ending is 17mb.  I suppose it's even a newer patch?  Or does the ending reflect only the game's region?

The last number denotes region AFAIK, but the fact that the patch is 107 instead of 007 might mean it's a newer version, not sure though.

Where are you guys getting the patch? Just so I'm clear. As far as I know, I'm getting it here: http://na.llnet.eadownloads.ea.com/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_1.0.632.00107_from_1.0.631.00107.exe

Correct?

That might be for the US version since that one ends with a 7. Razor release is worldwide version and ends with a 2. I got mine here: http://na.llnet.eadownloads.ea.com/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_1.0.632.00002_from_1.0.631.00002.exe

So wait, if you use the official patch on the Razor release, you don't need to update the crack? That's unusual. Are you sure the patch fixes are holding? I guess without a proper changelog it's hard to say...

In about 3 and a half hours I'll have installed the Razor version and will immediately begin testing.

Yeah, I found it kinda strange too. Either the TS3.exe installed by the razor iso is precracked and makes the patch installer choke without ouputting any errors (which also sounds strange) or the 632 only changes stuff outside the .exe.

Here's how I did it:

1. Install Razor release.
2. Backup TS3.exe
3. Install 632
4. Compare TS3.exe filesize and version numbers to my backup, pre patch TS3.exe, which checked out identical.
5. Install crackfix.

Ok, I can at least confirm that updating with the Sims3_1.0.632.00002_from_1.0.631.00002.exe that can be found at EA works with the Razor release. Trying to update again makes the patch state that the game already is updated. Strange thing is that this is not reflected in the launcher, good thing is that the main executable doesn't change which means the crackfix still works. Maybe this patch is a secret EAxis plan to make all arr-mateys walk the plank?  Wink
Anyone who knows if there's any way to check the version ingame?

Edit: Nevermind. skuversion.txt says 1.0.632.00002. Strange that the launcher still reports 1.0.631 though.

What's your source on that?

Heh, IRC, so don't put too much stock into it. I'll try it later myself though and report back how it went.

Apparently some people even had success patching the Razor version with the release day 632 patch from EA, so it seems close enough to the real deal.
