Missing Animation in High-End Loft Stuff

@SuzyCue72 - The Store Content patches have not been made available by EA to anyone who is not on Origin for Windows for coming up on two years now. They are not delivered by the Launcher any longer nor are they available for download. Players who need to have them are either re-using them from prior installs or getting the from other players who have graciously made them available from their own file server accounts. Do you have evidence to the contrary? Origin/1.69 players are exempt from this requirement because Origin delivers the Store Content Patches to somewhere in the game's Program Files as part of its game controlling mechanism, but players on the earlier patch levels still need them.

The SP patch that the OP might need (we're not sure yet) is not available to them for their regionally encoded install disc. Or at least we haven't found it yet, can you tell us where these might be?

And then we have the issue where a change made to a server on EA's end last summer, so that's over a year ago, causes anyone on 1.67 installs of any type including those on Steam and the Mac version of the game to have the Launcher not let go when it is time for it to do so when the player is logged in, thus requiring a force quit and/or a change in security rights to a log file local to our TS3 user game folders. When we presented the server issue and some proposed solutions to it on Answers.HQ, the official response we got by way of community managers there after checking with the techies in charge of server maintenance there was that no one should be on Patch 1.67 any longer. They had and still have no answer for those on the Mac version of the game, for whom there is no 1.69 alternative.

You have a point about the SuperPatcher, but that one's continued availability appears to be more of an exception to the rule.

@igazor Ok so I've tried to patching with the 3.13.1 Region 1-Americas version and it went successfully installed on my sister's laptop... but it don't resolved anything. Sims still do nothing and act like a normal bed when the "activate vibration" interaction is selected. I mean the heart bed only turn on the red light and vibrate(as it was before, without patching the pack), but the surprised animation between two sims is still missing. Now I think that only a mod(problably will never happen) or a repurchase of the physical disc copy(reinstalling everything again) could save me from this frustating situation. I'm not crazy.

I perfectly remember (back in 2012-2014) that when I was playing with this bed the animation was always present.
Also at that time I don't paid so much attention to the patches, indeed because was all regular and functioning in my game!

I feel cheated because I have payed so much money on this game in these years and I really want his complete functionality... but it seems a mirage. Can the last store patch help me in some way?
