OK, want to say again what goes in which thread:

3. Crashes, Troubles with the launcher or any other issues of more technical nature go in the technical forum

Patch 1.33
http://llnw.thesims3.com/images/dots_ver700777.gif
http://www.thesims3.com/game/patches/-1321973146

The manual patch listed here is for PC only, specifically the DVD disc version or EADM/Origin digital download version.

Super-patcher 1.33
http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims...s/TS3_1.33.2.0150xx_update.exe

However, I would check this out first.
http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Issues_with_1.3x_Superpatcher

IMO install at your own risk.

    I want to patch my game but I have to wait for my mods to be updated first. I can't use simport until I update which sucks but at least they fixed it fast for some people.

    The patch was pulled because those of us who patched, (who shouldn't have) got the new skintone ramp, werewolf sliders, and butterfly wings. Yep, they made a serious mistake, we have content in our game, that's not supposed to be in it, until the next EP, which is probably Magic. Mod the Sims has a whole forum about it. I just hope they issue another one.


    Yeah, I have all of that in my game right now. :D

    Edit: I was really surprised at the rainbow skintone. And the yellow one. And that teal one, and the jade one... :mrgreen:

    The werewolf nose is funny looking and I think I have a new pointed ear slider too.

    I just got in now. Good grief! So what will happen to those who patched? What sort of fix can we expect from them? Can anyone resist a Grilled Cheese? :shocked: Find out in the next episode of The Sims 3 patch!

    I'm still at patch 1.29 and it works just fine. :wink:

    I was holding back too, but I gave in to the "go online to get cool stuff yada yada" warning message thing :mrgreen:

    So if I did patch is that a problem? My game was fine before and it's fine now. :?

    Ditto, although I haven't played it thoroughly yet. Now I wanna see the new interaction & sliders that I've read here :XD:

    So for first group, what's to be done?
    - Uninstall base game (only)
    - reinstall
    - patch to 1.29 or 1.31 with superpatcher of either of these versions (whichever one you have without having to redownload)
    - patch to 1.32 with the incremental patch from the "Current" page of below link (or Launcher if you want)

    Archived patch links are in the SimsWiki Patch pages. This forum hate the wiki URLs, so sorry if I muck this up. http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_Patching --> Patch_Download (link in header) --> Archived --> Sims 3 patches


    Thanks Ella. Do you think the reinstall is necessary ? What will be the side effects other than have the stuff in your game ?

    Good to know that one only has to reinstall the base game :)

    This time I'm also confused...I patched my game from 1.29-1.31(super patch), then 1.31-1.32(1.31-1.32 patch), so does it mean I got a good version of 1.32? :shock: And this time EA doesn't supply 1.32-1.33...and many suggest not use the 1.3x mega patch...what should I do this time? Waiting? :?

    Not sure yet. I have the same info that Crinrict has, but I updated the original post with the updated patch info and a link to the wiki on MTS about the patch. Some say they are having more issues with patch 1.33 and some aren't. Lag and freezing appear an issue since 1.31. I'm also not sure if you need to be at 1.33 to simport. I would recommend waiting until more information comes in.

    I begin to understand it more. The OP of that MTS thread said using 1.31 mega patch causes problem like ST collector icon missing. I checked my game folder and game itself last night. It's really missing...so I'm gonna re-install my base game and use 1.29 mega patch and then 1.29-1.31 and 1.31-1.33. 8)

    Okay. Let me know how it goes. Hopefully, you will be able to Simport if you can get to patch 1.33 "safely" for lack of a better term. I'm positive you can't Simport at patch 1.29.

    Good Luck! :wink:

    I knew it, a patch release this fast will cover only a small portion of the current problems out there. But good nonetheless.

    I can at least have a comfortable thought that they fixed the CC seeping through the hosts game issue even though I still have no plans on playing Simport on a full throttle.

    Keep it up EA :) Oh yeah, don't forget the Banana Tree along the way :mrgreen: cuz I owe you one :P
