2010-Jun-12 20:28:01 Mod

for me, this mod seems to work, except a couple of things Ambitions related. All crashed from previous versions have cleared up.
  - The school thing. (I can get my kids to go to school in an AM saved hood, but I have to delete the school along with some hidden objects the school was sitting on after removing awesome mod. Then I placed a new one)
  - Big parking spots.
          I cannot park the fire truck in a big parking spot. While this does not keep me from responding to emergencies, it does keep me from maintaining and upgrading the truck.
          Somehow the inability to park the woowoo caused it to disappear, and it spawned a new one on the next emergency. Since it cannot be upgraded. It is so slow, bicycles pass it! This also happened when I reached fire chief and put one of those spaces on my lot.
  - Also, he takes the fire truck everywhere, even though he has a better vehicle either in his pocket or in the parking lot. I even marked his motorcycle as his prefered vehicle.

I had this problem. Then I discovered how to get the patches. I had 3.5 something, and could not find the patch.

First, notice the format of the patch files: Sims3_<newversion>_from_<oldversion>
Next, notice the url of nearly every link to the patches: http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/<filename>
Then, Figure out what version you have by examining the skuversion.txt. Finaly, Put it all together with the version you want th get the magic URL.
