Patching The Sims 3 [RG] Catalyst Repack?

[Eurotrash]

How does one update a Russian repack of The Sims 3 Complete from 1.63 to 1.67 without the original 1.63 Russian files? Finding those is like finding a needle in a haystack and since this is a repack I never had the original files...

Tried using 1.63 files from other regions, nada. Still looking for the original Russian files but I'm hoping maybe there's a workaround I don't know about...

My advice is that you get a real version instead of some dodgy Russian repack.

[Eurotrash]

Fair enough, but if I install everything myself something somewhere is bound to break. RG's repack was the most stable version I could find.

[J. M. Pescado]

That sounds like a personal problem to me, soldier.

Probably, I was thinking of registering as self-employed in getting this masterfully coded game to work properly but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I just want to know if and how I can update it in these conditions. I don't really care much about EA's half-assed updates since they fix one thing and break three more, but since *cough* Awesomemod self-destructs when it becomes outdated I basically have to chose between a broken game or no Awesomemod.

I don't think anyone has as much trouble with EA's coding as you.  Perhaps you're just dumb.  Maybe you should just go play something else and quit annoying us.

"Something else" implies I'm currently playing The Sims 3. I'm not, that's what brought me here to begin with.

We don't take kindly to possums around here. Can't you just be dead for real?

Also, AM versions don't self destruct, they are perfectly usable for as long as you like. You just have to be smart enough to... well, I don't want to spoil the fun of finding out for yourself.

Caveat: Using an old version of AM can be bad for your health, and is not recommended.

Anyway, weren't you supposed to be DOMEd?

OOO I gotta 1000 posts!

Not if the Bible is to be believed, no.

OOO I gotta 1000 posts! 

Then let me congratulate you early on having reached 1001 posts!

Therein lies the problem, most of the arseholes, like Eurotrash, simply aren't smart enough to figure those things out, even though it isn't that complicated.

While that is true, retreading old ground would be fruitless at this point. It was 'Domed, so the depths of its stupidity are already roundly known.

Also, isn't that so cute? It thinks it's Lazarus. I didn't know possums read the bible.

In'nat cute, it thinks possums can read at all.

Then why haven't you figured it out?

I wouldn't have believed it myself, but the evidence is there, right down to having one interacting with this very thread. Granted, it has zero comprehension skills and its communications are rudimentary at best, but I guess even marsupials have to start somewhere.

Also, there is only one creature in this thread that doesn't know how to fix AM to work beyond its expiration date. This hint will be difficult, but I'm sure it will be deciphered in time; it's not the FOJ, jezzer, merlin, or me.

Note: Escaped 'Dome residents are not capable of enough thought to qualify as living creatures, so they are not acknowledged.

Prove it.

So you don't know :>

Given that I specifically avoid dodgy repack releases and go for clean ones on the grounds that updation will specifically be a problem in dodgy repacks, I would say that the answer is "No". Suck it up and get a real one.

No, we do know. Hence the proof was provided.

So you proved you do know by providing proof that you don't know..

You know, this is like watching a dog fruitlessly beg for table scraps. At some point, I just start to feel bad for it. Not that I feed it, mind you, but I do feel bad.

[Levini]

I am one to feed my dog the scraps. Why not give him the bones from my chicken? Makes for a nice little treat type thing. now if Eurotrash came to my table begging for scraps, I would punch him in the mouth.

Now on a derailing note, I remember this one time when I was living with my father (about a year ago) I went to answer the door and I came back to find my stepmum's shorkie had eaten my food (Mind you it was some chicken strips, cause chicken strips are tasty). Oh gurl, I was pissed.

Well that was rude. What did jezzer ever do to you?

[Levini]

I vote we give this trashcan a new icon and title.  I even can come up with a list of complementary titles for his username.
