Can anyone install the PC version of the patch yet? I tried, getting that lovely 'no file found' error.
Using the patch tool from MTS works. |

Well, the game will nag you if you don't log in to log in. Hopefully AwesomeMod will be able to remove the nag screen.

I installed the new test version of AM but haven't played the game yet. Still, I trust Pes' test versions more than EAxis' fail final versions (of anything).

Well this is fucking unprecedented. Previously when I've played, the game would give me at least 2 or 3 hours worth of game time before crashing. Now it just hands me the "Sims 3 has stopped working and needs to close" dialog in under a minute while in Live mode. Build or Buy Mode? Take as long as you'd like. Spend FOREVER just customizing every silly facet of your Sim's home and furnishings. But if you want to actually play the game? Go fuck yourself. I'm going to pointlessly crash.
I'm on a Windows 7 machine with 4GB of memory. I'm at 1.31, with all EPs and SPs fully updated thanks to that MTS tool. I've cleared out ALL my CC save for Store items, updated to the current test version of AwesomeMod, and cleared the caches. Still no dice.
Thanks EA. You have a goddamn bug that makes your product utterly and completely useless.

First thing you shouldn't be doing is double posting, edit old post first. On another note, did you try to add your game to the DEP (Data Execution Prevention) list? That seems to fix a lot of the "Sims 3 has stopped working" issues. If you need to know how to do it, go here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-Data-Execution-Prevention-settings |

Does it do that with just nothing installed? Keep in mind you're using the test version, which hasn't undergone adequate crash testing yet.

My game just crashed after about 20 minutes in Live Mode. Prior to this patch and installing the test version of AM, I could play for at least 5 hours. But other people are saying they have no problems. *sigh Does it do that with just nothing installed? Keep in mind you're using the test version, which hasn't undergone adequate crash testing yet.
Do you prefer crash logs from vanilla games only, if in fact you want to see one? |

The only CC I have installed is Twallan's noCD, the nointro, and the store items in .package form, except for the additional neighborhoods which don't work properly with just .package files, and counters. Haven't crashed yet.

I just downloaded it and will test sometime tonight. Is it all right to use the configuration tool?

This sucks, I've been trying since yesterday to update a vanilla game with only Basegame and Master Suite installed and I'm getting an "invalid file found" error. Apparently that happens with cracked games, but I don't use cracks. I wanted the achievements so freakin' bad D:

Can anyone install the PC version of the patch yet? I tried, getting that lovely 'no file found' error.
Using the patch tool from MTS works. I have tried the MTS tool and it doesn't work,I have also tried installing with the launcher and that didn't work either. Update error: Invalid file found. Edit: I have also taken out all my downloads and hacks from the game and tried to install the patch,still getting the same error. |

Then somewhere somehow there is an invalid file somewhere. Using a crack are we? Used one of those world fix mods from MTS? |

To be honest,I don't have a clue what a world fix mod is,let alone heard of it before now. I think I will uninstall and not use any cracks,just AM. Thanks for the heads up. |

What patch tool are you talking about? If you mean the Sims 3 Patch Downloader, how do I INSTALL a patch? Because it downloads them, but I don't see the install option. Or am I blind? Please excuse me for being so stupid.

Tick the box at the bottom right that says automatic install. We are talking about the one that you can find on mod the sims website. |

The new test version for awesomemod is working fine for me now. I've played for an hour without a hitch. Everything is fixed, thank you. |
