EA server Link to Manual super patch (NOT FOR MAC OR STEAM): http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/TS3_1.50.56.0210xx_update.exe------------------Official EA note on the issue Note on Feb 19 Game Update We understand that some of you have attempted to install the recent Game Update and encountered an issue completing the install. For PC players, if you reattempt the install now, you should be able to successfully complete installation. Note that this Game Update is larger in size and that we will be releasing a smaller version within the coming weeks if you prefer to wait for a smaller download. For Mac players, we are still conducting some final tests on the Mac Game Update to ensure it will be a smooth and successful experience for you as well. This release will be coming very soon. Thank you for your patience.http://www.abload.de/img/blue2-rule-04l-whitevxcj.gifUPDATE 02/20/2013Seems that EA has now replaced the laucher incremental patch with the superpatch so that everyone should be able to patch. It might take a moment for every server to be updated. If you're still offered the 200 MB one, there's no need to redownload.It might not work for all atm but try re-downloading through the launcher. Be aware that you will be downloading the 1.3 GB patch and not the 200 MB one (unless EA now did find a solution for their incremental patch messup which was acutally a problem in 1.48).Good Luck everyonehttp://www.abload.de/img/blue2-rule-04l-whitevxcj.gifMost people are getting an invalid file error with this patch.Also make sure to update Origin to it's newest version and restart both the launcher and Origin.EA is aware of the issue and looking into it.

A very likely suspect but why did mine patch then. Hm.Going to read that thread. I guess.

The launcher patch did not work for me because I didn't have the file.I can confirm that for me the 1.48 incremental patch (Region 2) did not include the GameData\Shared\DeltaPackages\p17\code_version.txt.Could it be that the superpatch for 1.48 included it, but not the incremental one, thus explaining why it doesn't work for the majority who patch through the launcher?

Right now I am downloading the superpatch just to see if it works. I wasn't able to patch, like most people. I own every EP and only one stuff pack (the Outdoor Living one)I was at 1.48 before trying to patch. Thanks. :)

Hiya :D1) No - I got the 'Invalid File Found'2) I own all EPs and SPs except Katy Perry.3) My version was 1.484) UK, whatever that is5) Digital download versionsNo mods or cc.

Ok, I posted this in your bug thread, but this will be much easier to find. I am super patching btw, but figure maybe my info can help find the problem, regardless. :)I have all the EPs installed, all the sps except HEL, FL, and Diesel. I have about ten store sets and one world installed.Totally CC free and no mods.Patched up to 1.48I can download the whole patch, but whenever it gets to 6% installed it says invalid error. Everytime it was at 6% when it quit. Hope this helps. :)

Patch 1.50 - Superpatch now offered through the launcher - Retry
