    I recently bought a new laptop so instantly downloaded the sims 3 and I have the rest of the expansion packs. on my old laptop I could not download the recent patch 1.50 therefore have attempted on this laptop and still wont download. This one comes up in sims 3 launcher but when I click to update it comes up (paused) and then crashed and now I have tried again and click update it goes off but no patch progress comes up! I have just payed for the university expansion pack but cannot play on it somebody help!!

    I am having the same trouble.. I cannot update to version 1.50.56, it keeps telling me there is an invalid file.

    This is getting ridiculous, I paid good money for this game and the expansions. When will EA freaking fix this?!?! I did not pay so much to be unable to update/play, seriously. I will not buy anything else until this is fixed...

    The relationship status was totally ruined for every couple in my game after the last patch, so I was already wary of what might happen with this one. However, I'm having enough troubles in the game not being allowed to move that I decided to give it a shot to see if this patch fixed it. Instead, I just keep getting a message that there is an "Invalid file".
    I have most of the expansion packs (all but Supernatural) but won't be buying any more or getting the stuff packs as long as this game keeps glitching out. Until everything is fixed, EA Games has lost a formerly loyal customer.

    I'm having problems... My game is unable to connect to origin so I went to manually download the latest patch--I just installed sims 3, pets, and supernatural and am on version 1.5 and it crashes when I'm in create-a-sim--but when I open up my sims 3 launcher it says I am still on v1.5 and not 1.42. Do I have to go through every patch I've missed?
    I've never had to manually install updates before and would greatly appreciate if someone would help my newbie self =P Thanks.

    Love the Sea swimming and the fix for food going bad.
    I find the pop up with comments on the Sims memories annoying.
    Gardening seems to have been broken as plants have status harvest but do not produce much or run in the normal life cycle. Sims tending the garden need to be monitored as they keep stopping and have to be instructed to tend garden over and over again to ensure all plants are weeded etc.
    The processing power needed to run the game also seems to have increased as it has become very laggy. It now takes about 4 Sim hours to cook breakfast and eat it which is just not realistic. I will have to look into upgrading my system.
    Code 12 errors on saving have started ruining my game and world adventures is a bit hit and miss. I have sent my Sims to China 3 times - twice no one arrived and the only time they all arrived 2 did not return with the others and could only come home as foreign visitors. I have managed to send 3 to Egypt and return them home.
    The ability to change the life span and stage times of the Sims is great.

    Um..lol. Love the swimming and diving board! But now the whole..romance thing is different some how. My sims are married and..had a full relationship status bar. The one went to go give another flowers and said no! All kisses and hugs were rejected, that has NEVER happens before and I've been playing for like 3 months with the same couple. Usually if you were to...woohoo they would work up to it them selves now, they just go right to it and because of that, they once again get rejected! I mean ..there married! That's rediculos to me. But, I do like the rest.

    I am having the same problem, at first i thought it was because I had used the "moveobject" code, but it seems to be the patch. Something to do with the "_RIG resource". so most cc made with slots ( chairs, tables, fireplaces etc.) will have this problem. there is an article on Mod the Sims about it and what you might be able to do to fix it.

    I've just updated to 1.8.25. I can get past the loading screen and actually play, it's just that the ground outside of my household's lot flashes blue. I know it's the patch because I've removed all CC that I downloaded and the flashing still happens.

    Is this happening with anybody else or is there something I haven't tried yet?

    For those having problems with the Region Code, in Vista, go to the start menu, and type Regedit. Open the program that it should have found for you. Find your The Sim 3 folder within the Regedit program. Double click the SKU file. Change the number displayed, (which is most likely to be 7) To 2. Press okay, but do not close the Regedit program and leave it on The Sims 3 folder. Retry your patch. If it says its the wrong region code again, go back to it and change it to 1. And then 7. From this site, I'm thinking it will either take a 1 or a 2.
    Region Codes
    1 = USA
    2 = UK
    7 = Worldwide

    For those who are having trouble you need to find a way to get to The sims 3 without opening the game launcher, this means you need to look for a straight shortcut to the TS3

    - Just search your computer for 'TS3 - shortcut' or something along those lines

    What location? Can't choose anything. The install crashes before it starts. And that number you refer to, isn't that the current version you have? That's bound to change when you install a new patch, or what?

    Since two days before Thanksgiving the Sims3 update has broken my save/load game ability.

    I did try uninstalling and reinstalling, but due to the patch level of my latest saved
    games with the most progress, I cannot load my most recent saves.

    I updated to 1.7.9.002001 and still cannot load or save any games.

    It looks like they have changed the format for saving games, so until this is addressed
    you won't be able to load any games or save any new progress if you experience the same
    problems I am.

    Rissa and Mandy,
    You need to choose the location which is the same as your version (Does that make sense?). To find what version you have, open the game launcher and look in the bottom left corner under 'Game Updates'. Look for those exact numbers (not including the last four numbers) in the list of locations you can choose from. Select the one which is the same.
    There you go (: Hope I helped!

    The patch is currently installing for me, it's taking an awfully long time but I hope it pays off! I have a lot of glitches in my game and, going by the description and changes list, this patch should fix most of them. Thanks for the great fixes!

    There have been some problems with the 1.7/2.2 patch - personally I have found that it completely crashes the game, but if I re-install my games I'm not allowed to install WA unless I patch it!!

    I've queried EA about it, but they are not responding to anyones emails and are not talking about it on the boards either.

    Keeping fingers crossed they'll get it fixed ASAP - but right now it doesn't look hopeful.

    Thanks again, though, for all the other fixes! Keep up the good work, Team Sims! =D
