patch 1.5

I have tried to update the latest patch, however it keeps giving me an error saying an invalid file and ceases.  Has anyone had this issue or is there a way to fix this?

    I have this problem too. Mine says "Update Error: I/O operation failed (attribute modification)."

    Yes I tried to install it six time myself. It added the update vesion but I will try to run it to see if it works. I saved my game under a different name. I hope their are no glitches that crash the game.

  • Someone posted in a similar thread that EA is working on it and to check tomorrow.

    If you are getting the invalid file error with the latest patch there is an issue patching thru the launcher. The manual cumulative super patch works. You can dl at the first post in the technical forums at thesims3.com. Here is a direct link - patch 1.50

    scallihan1 - your problem looks more like an antivirus problem. Do you have administrator rights? Is Origin up to date?
