I hope someone from EA sees this.I have to admit I don't fully understand all this but as ellacharm3d at MTS found, the super patch and the incremental patch don't put your game in the same state. There are differences between them, especially the creation of the showtime collections folder.The Collections folder is not created if you use the super patch and there might be other issues:Please read this: Game Help:Issues with 1.3x SuperpatcherUpdate 2012-03-16:I think I now understand the issue and my a post about it here: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2012/03/patch-1-3x-whats-the-issue.htmlPlease feel free to ask here if you have any questions at all.

Thank you crinrict,And any one else helping with this fix. My Sims game is updated to 1.33 and seems to be working just fine. In fact, it is working better than it has since I bought it. That hasn't been too long ago, so I wasn't hampered by any extra content. I only played it for about an hour or so but I've not seen any flaws in my game play yet. No stuttering, no freezing, no game stopped responding. Its just smooth and seems very much like the game I imagined I would get when I bought it. I did add the game to my DEP file just for GP. Then I followed your patching instructions exactly. All the while checking that I had a contents folder with 17 files in it. When I started the game, it just worked. On high graphics settings, no less.Now if I can just summon up the courage to attempt to install Ambitions. Again,Thank you very much.

There are reported issues with the 1.33 super patch. Check the link from the OP.

Gurus, please advise about new 1.33 Super Patch - New Info available

Good thing I started to install only incremental patches from 1.26 onwards. :P

It was a bit of a challenge to figure out which one to use as I have mixed regional codes and all that but in the end I ended up downloading MUCH less.

Patch 1.32 users have an problem. There is no incremental patch for it. The launcher uses the super patch for everyone that is a that level.

I'm sooooo confused, I just hope we can get some clarification on this.

Do you mean patching from 1.32 to 1.33? I'm currently still on 1.32 and I have no real intention to patch up so I wouldn't know. Hmm, weird.

I don't know if this is related but I installed the 1.33 patch and went into play my game. I played for awhile with no issues. Even had sound for all new music interactions for showtime. Then I decided to build on a lot. Went to the lot and clicked the level it button and that sent my game into a blank blue screen of nothingness. I tried everything to navigate out of it, but nothing worked. I could go into CAS and use that, but when I went back into the town it was all blue. Has anyone else experienced this or know if it is patch related?

As to the blue lots...

Because of what Crinrict warned re: Collections, I had made extra backups.

I had patched to 1.31 via super patch, and then to 1.32 via incremental (launcher).

My game is is now patched to 1.33 via launcher (super patcher) and upon initial boot up did not recognize anything in DCCache even though it was still full as was DCBackup. Downloads was fine as well. I purged cache, and rebuilt both DCCache and Backup after relaunching.

Went into shop mode (since I can't download from store without doing this, a separate known bug since 1.31 that is apparently still present). I went to watch the launcher download these, and ... all the content I JUST installed had uninstalled itself somehow.

I swear I was at 100% and *EVERYTHING* was installed. ALL of it. It all had the uploaded icon next to it. I am not using any Mods, I am not using anything except store content.

The game wiped itself out?? Twice now?

Once I get the store content downloaded and saved off to a safe spot I'm going to do a test, restart the launcher, upload something, and try over.

But the ONLY thing that is registering as "uploaded" are my Sims and Worlds, BUT in the launcher they are NOT showing as having been uploaded (not Riverview, Hidden Springs, etc). They are showing to start a new game. So something is wrong somewhere. I am wary to load a save not knowing if CC (store content) is really there or not. I'm going to go run a test on a copy of a save.
