im registered/logged in/the whole shebang and it still won't download properly for me. don't waste your time, its making the game unplayable for alot of people.. new crashes and bugs left and right.

The patch doesn't work if you have certain mods, like the Nudity mod, installed.

The sims likes to censor me on their official forums. Too many of my statements end up critical to EA, so I have a question for anyone who can figure it out regarding the patch...
Can anyone tell me which of the 8 items required the changing of the file to a degree that I am unable to patch because I installed the nudity mod?
Did they at least fix the performance issue not having the nudity mod caused?

I have this paranoid suspicion that this took so long in coming because they spent so much of their effort closing loopholes in modding. Do I have some random insights coming here, or is it pure paranoia?

I have a feeling they don't see that as a bug, but as a "feature".  Which is why I'm not even bothering with the patch - Pescado has already fixed the actual bugs, as well as the ones EA put in on purpose.

Will the no-cd part of the awesome mod work after patching, or will we need a new crack?
I don't really want 'please insert disk' messages  and all that flaff.

[Drakron]

Does not affect the awesome mod.

I am not registered and installed it just fine ... using the launcher that does not care if you are registered or not, also I did not noticed any immediate crashes.

[tizerist]

But regarding my cracked exe, it would be an out of date executable now, right?
We probably need a new no-cd, otherwise you've got a 'cocktail of death' or something..

Only this to EA

After installing this (actually uninstalling Sims 3, reinstallling and patching, having awesome mod not work, uninstalling Sims 3, and reinstalling and patching with the patch from the Razor torrent), I can no longer play with Awesomemod. The loading screen comes up, but nothing loads. It works when I remove Awesomemod from my mods folder though.

I got it to work with Awesomemod, but I ended up uninstalling all of the EA Store stuff I had. Now the launcher is completely useless and fails at installing anything, but I could get everything except for Riverview to work with the Sims3Pack Multi Installer by Delphy. Is there any way other than though the Launcher to install Riverview?

After reinstalling again, and installing the EA Store stuff before the patch, everything is working now.

I patched and have awesomemod installed.  I don't have any issues. 

The only thing I saw that annoyed me was the babysitter had the baby in his hand then went to leave and jumped out and disappeared and my baby was on the ground outside.  I am glad he left the baby, but would be nice if he stuck it back in the crib.

OK, it's been noted elsewhere that having the original version of the No Censor Mod (not Rick's) was causing the patch install to fail at 77%.  So I replaced that one with my backup, and downloaded Rick's mod.  Got to 81% this time, and it failed.  Would Delphy's slider (I only have the Body Slider Hack) cause any issues?  Or the No Intro Mod?  I know it's not Awesomemod because others are able to install the patch with it in.

[Mooingloudly]

I patched my game with awesomemodnstalled. I did get the mysterious start up crash of doom! on first load up but now it's working properly. My speed three problems seem to be corrected as well which is nice.

I removed all mods and replaced them one by one til I found the culprit on my game.  The only one causing my game to crash on the load screen was the 'facialhack.package'.  After I removed this, everything loaded properly.  Hope this helps.

[Doc Doofus]

I'll let you guys be the guinea pigs for the patch.  (And isn't it disgusting that a patch needs guinea pigs at all?  It undermines the whole intent of a patch.)  From what I read of the improvements, it sounds like there's nothing there to make it worth the hassle.  I'll wait for patch 2.0.

[vincemw]

 The patch works fine for me, haven't had a crash yet. I have a few nudity mods and an uncensor mod too, as well as several other mods

If that is for reducing the restrictions on the facial sliders then that conflicts with AwesomeMod, AwesomeMod has included that.

[eforrest]

Don't download it!  It's a mess of a patch.  My game now crashes every single time my sim tries to use a phone.

[modelchick]

Could someone be so kind as to provide the original shaders package file to reverse the no censor mod. I'm getting the update failure too. I totally forgot to back up the file.

[Bass Junkie]

I've mirrored it at: http://rapidshare.com/files/248702881/Shaders_Win32.precomp.zip

Thanks, I actually found the original file on the disk. Silly me I should've known it'd be there.

[ciane]

I moved all my sub-folders out of the mods folder and only kept AwesomeMod and noIntro packages. The patch and game loading seemed to work fine. I am even sure that I used phones after patching without any problems.

[Malapietra]

I'm getting an invalid file found while trying to update.  Can someone provide the contents from this folder and upload them for me please?

Game\Bin\HelpPages\CZE_CZ\

It's specifically crashing on: Game\Bin\HelpPages\CZE_CZ\Help_Updates.html but I figure I'd copy the entire contents of the folder.  I have the RLD version updated to RZR but without the 632 patch.

I can find the files on the game disc but it does nothing to copy them over to game directory so I'm guessing it's a problem from RLD version

[Malapietra]

Your file worked great and there was indeed a discrepancy with the Help_Updates.html file.  It seems however there is a problem with the other Help_Updates.html files from that same folder.  Now it's whining about the DAN_DK Help_Updates.html file.  I must again request if you could upload the entire contents from the HelpPages (~500KB)?

Thanks for any help.
