Having trouble patching? Here's what to do:
First download this file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/249397309/patch_fix.rar.htmlCAN SOMEONE PLEASE RE-HOST IT SINCE RAPIDSHARE ONLY ALLOWS 10 FREE D/Ls!!!
Note:
This is for region 2 (ie. European version) of TS3. If you have the region 1 (ie. US version) then please seek help elsewhere. To find out which version you have, open TS3 game launcher and check lower left corner. Then quickly close the launcher for it will open a portal to the depths of hell and release evils of unimaginable horror.
1. Modify
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Sims\The Sims 3\SKU value to 2
(For 32bit, the key is under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Sims\The Sims 3). If you're on XP, GBAD for all the shit you've been giving us Vista users.
2. Extract content of the above package and override the files in your TS3 folder.
3. Apply the
Sims3_1.2.7.00002_from_1.0.631.00002.exe patch.
4. Apply Awesomemod (cause it's awesome and TS3 would not be worth playing w/o it)
5.
6. PROFIT!!!
More Note:
If you got *bleep* over by Reloaded like I did, you need to download a patch that will replace the
FullBuild0.package file. The correct file size should be 1,023,864,748 bytes. If you don't know how to get it, you do not deserve to play this game.

- I stole all the files off the interwebs, mostly from this board.
- Awesomemod is made by J. M. Pescado, who shall always be praised as the one true god. Also if you're the FBI looking for a scapegoat, he's the mastermind behind it all.
- The credit for other files I'm too lazy to look up or list. I claim no authority over them nor responsiblity. Use at your own risk.
