It seems to me making the test version hard to find only encourages the stupid people to make tons of useless topics asking where it is, instead of making it easy to find and therefore eliminating pretty much all of these threads.
I have the new patch without WA or the stuff pack, and all my .package files work perfectly fine, but there's a significant increase in loading save games/new games for me. The initial startup takes about the same time.
Could somebody direct me to a download for the patch of just the base game without WA? I'm assuming the earlier post that had the download link was for WA, unless it can also be used for the base game. Thanks in advance.
That's not what I mean. I have .sim3.backup files, which I put into the saves folder. When I start up the game, the menu icon on the bottom for the saved game is grayed out, saying "It may have been loaded with an expansion pack that is no longer present on this system". I can't even play the game with the files, let alone Save As.
For some reason, when I tried to download the new patch the launcher would go into this continual loop of not patching, so I saved my .backup files and reinstalled the game, thinking everything would be fine. The game patched to 1.6.6 successfully, and all my custom content worked as well, minus some NRAAS and AwesomeMod. However, it turns out the new save files with this patch are in a different format, meaning that all the .backups I have are virtually useless because I didn't try to put them back into the game until after I patched. Is there some way to convert the .backup files to a working format with the new patch? Or for that matter, is there any fix that doesn't require reinstalling the game again?
Just a question about the camera hack .ini file.. Can I put it back into my game after I patch, or will it mess it up? I know to put back in the original for patching purposes, but do I need to keep it out permanently?
