Re: Sims 3 updating and Super patch

Did you try the 1.67 manual file or the smaller ones ?

What's your operating system ?

What is your base game version right now ?

Open the launcher and check the number in the lower left corner.

    The version I am in right now is 1.42.

    What is the manual file or smaller one?

    I am operating on a computer(not a mac) through origin.

    are you using firefox or IE? Chrome and Safari sometimes don't work. Also try clearing your internet browser before trying to download the patch. See if any of that works

    What does didn't work mean ? DId you download the 1.6 GB to your hard drive, then run that from the place where you downloaded it ? Close the launcher and the game while running the patch.

    What I meant is that I tried to download the patch. It downloaded successfully but when I tried to open it, it said that this version cannot be found. I have tried it multiple times.

    Could you post the exact wording of that message ? You mean the patch could not find the game ?

    Try a clean reinstall following the instructions here: http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_Uninstall and here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/Help-Guide-All-in-one-fix-except-hardware-issues-PC-only/m-p/734448#M36281 where it says Delete game installers Manually delete everything if above method does not work: https://help.ea.com/article/manually-uninstalling-the-sims-3 Make sure everything Sims is gone from your computer before reinstalling If the game still shows in your Uninstaller Menu afterwards, you can use CCleaner to get rid of those.
