So are these patches going to cause mods to have to be updated again? I'll download them, but I won't be installing them just yet. I haven't even installed the 1.22 patch yet.

I tried changing the 1 to a 2 and got "File Not Found".  the older updates ended in 001,002,003, etc, whereas these just have "_update" on them.  I ran the updates from those links and they seem to have worked alright and all of my game versions (except for Generations) were region 2, which seems to keep changing in meaning.  EAxis might have finally made one update patch that suited all game versions.  I'll know if they worked right when I start the game up.

The updated MTS Patcher program isn't showing these, so I think I'll pass them for now.

The creator of the patcher has said he will not support these patches.

There were comments that these patches were for the downloaded versions only, but they installed alright (I don't have the downloaded versions) and so far there haven't been any issues with playing the game after patching.  Knock on wood.

What do they even do?

They *appear* to make photography work again, at least.

I have the direct download version for a few EPs, and I definitely had to specify Region 7 or else I got an error.  If these patches are indeed intended only for the direct download version, it is curious that they have files available that are region 1 or 2.

Does AwesomeMod have to be reconfigured for these?

No. Awesomemod works fine with these and without core mismatch errors.

The original EAxis patch release notes didn't say much other than "Bug Fixes" or something similar.  There was no real list of what they were attempting to fix, or EAxis was afraid to say what they were attempting to fix in case it didn't work.

There are links for disc versions too ( http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/175477.page ) .

This patch thing is ridiculous.  But here is what is posted on the official BS site:

'The way the game updates work is that only the base game and the most recently released and installed title need to be updated - the products in between are ignored as far as version numbers are concerned. You can manually update the other products in between if desired, but this is not necessary.

All expansion and stuff packs released after World Adventures now come in only two game regions:

Region 1 - Disc Version (regardless of geographic location)
Region 7 - Digital Download Version (regardless of geographic location) "

That sounds to me as if the only version number that matters now is your latest EP. It doesn't hurt to download the others, but I'm passing unless I experience a problem and think it might help. I haven't even had a chance to see if my photography is borked (apparently it's working for some people). If it's broke, then I'll try downloading these (or at least the WA one) to see if it helps.

Photography is still broken for me with Late Night patch 6.5.1.011031 (no Generations or stuff packs.)

Did you also try downloading the WA one also? Just curious to see if that fixes it!

I've guessed it worked like that for a while. I still install every patch though.

I've noticed an increase in the speed of elevators, but I'm not sure if it was Generations or the patches (although I'm inclined to think it was the patch to whichever EP gave us the danged things in the first place).

Tried this but it's still broken. I may have borked my game by uninstalling Late Night a couple weeks ago and then letting the Launcher update with patches when I reinstalled it this past weekend, as I'm getting odd glitches. Is there still a bug associated with owning bicycles?  :P

I installed this patch ver. 2.17.2 and since doing so I can't even start the game with Awesome mod installed. I noticed that it was stated that this patch wouldn't require an update. Why won't my game work then, am I missing something? When I start the game I get a message saying that there is a package in the game that is not compatable with the current version of TS3WA. This is fixed the minute I remove Awesomemod

What is your base game patched to, and what version of AM are you using?  I have applied the patches, and the MTS patcher confirms the numbers, and I am running AM without any error, or other messages.

I don't know for sure the number of the base game I am at but when the notice came up that there was a new patch ready I pushed to go ahead and install it and first it upgraded the base game to the new patch, (which I didn't even think to write down the number), then it upgraded my TS3WA to 2.17.2 . I am using the version of Awesomemod that is at the top of the download page which was the most up to date one I could find. It worked fine in my game until I upgraded.

Not the most up to date version others could find, however.

In that case you are using the wrong version of AM, hence the problem.  If you let the launcher patch, you're at 1.22 and the main version of AM is only 1.19 compatible.  You need to go find the test version of AM, or wait until the testing is finished and it gets uploaded to the main download links.

Thank You oh wize one
