Origin/the sims 3 Error 12/13

It is my belief Origin /Sims 3 launcher is causing save problems and game crasing problems. I am running the game on widows 8, quad core, 8GB RAM, 750GB memory. Game is updated to 1.67 and comperter...

    I tried and have no issues bypassing Origin and the launcher with the old version. I downloaded the old version with the old serial code and it work. It won't work with he new version but that has nothing to do with the version of Origin but only with the Sims 3 base game you're using.

    Did you do a clean reinstall (cleaning out the registery) when you switch from new to old ?

I do know the launcher is not a well liked program and my guess is it may disappear (my guess). Does the launcher work at all? You are correct in that Origin starts up and provides an interface for the patch wizard. The patch has to download and then run. I'm not sure but Origin just may be a pass through to launch the patch.

The actual patch program is dfc-gorilla and that should start after the download is complete which may be a while as some of these patches are large. Well that's interesting Pocket Soft who wrote (and supported) dfc-gorilla no longer has it on their web site (I remember looking it up some time ago). I've had too many other projects to pay attention. It seems that Pocket Soft dropped the trade mark DFC-Gorilla on 9/28/2012 and is now using RTPatch (have no idea what this means).
