I had to do it 3 times but the super patch finally worked. Thank you!!!!
So I have installed the 1.42 twice! That super patch and still when I try install seasons it tells me "you have to update your game to be able to play it". I cannot keep updating because that 1.1GB of download is making my internet run slow and eventually I'm running out of money because I have to pay $50 for 3gbs of data. So. Can you tell me how to deal with this because I have installed 1.42 twice. I've downloaded SEASONS from the origin store when I've went out and bought it and that did nothing. This is kinda ridiculous.
So you've downloaded the physical file that is now on your hard drive somewhere and then double clicked on it and when it was finished your launcher tells you, you're base game is now at 1.42 ?
I've searched the harddrive and it's not there, like I cannot find it. Not in downloads. I have noooo idea where it went. When the download finishes the thing just disappears as if it's been installed and then I go to install seasons. I don't update through seasons install because it crashes and I have to kill everything, so I use the updater as if I'm playing a normal game through the launcher. I've completely uninstalled all the sims now because when I've tried to play normally (through Showtime the newest expansion pack I own) and after choosing the game I want to play it crashes and says it has a problem that cannot be fixed. Probably due to the fact it's either partially downloaded the patch (annoyingly so since I've downloaded it twice and still it doesn't appear to have patched).
I can run Battlefield 3 on this computer really smoothly without any hiccups so I don't think it has anything to do with my graphics/space/ram. I really don't know what else to do. I'm planning to just update my base game to 1.42 now before installing all my expansion packs (Showtime, Late Night, Generations, Pets & now Seasons) although I'll have to wait another week so I can afford to try download it again due to this bloody patch being so big.
I just edited this because I accidentally posted twice for some reason :S
Yeah, sounds like your installation is corrupted now.
The manual patch is a file you download to your computer like any other file. It doesn't autoinstall if you use the manual patch. You should be able to tell where you want it downloaded too.
Do you have DVD or Download versions of your game ?
