Thanks for your suggestion,
"The Launcher states that my Sims 3 game Version is 'Up to Date'".
and under the button named 'Game Updates',
it states:
'Version:
10.0.96020001'
The Sims3 icon states:
1.47.6.020002
- Is this why 'The Last Venue of Amore' is not downloading ?
Thank You from ssaff

Ok - Thanks for the link to the patch and to crincrict's notes on the 1.67 update.
I've tried a few times to XP you both, with 'Temporarily allow all this page' activated (Avira free-ware with Web- and Real-Time protection 'inactive'.
(I thought I'd replied to crincrict, but it's posted as a new topic !)
So far:
TS3_1.67.2.0240xx_update.exe
downloaded fine,
but, there's an error message: (it would be good to send you a screen-shot)

I removed the folder named: 'Mods' (after backing up).
I used Firefox to download (v. 10.0.2) - though I can't see *that* would make any difference.
XP is a legitimate, and is described in the dxdiag file at the beginning of this post.
To summarise:
Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.111025-1629)
