You're right. I totally didn't think to google the problem.
I read the manual, I googled, I tried to install the patch.
I cracked the game because I'm a broke ass.
So what do you suggest?

After about 20 minutes of trying to register just to ask a fucking question, I finally got it.
Anyway, I discovered this mod yesterday, and after following the instructions, I downloaded it.
I open up The Sims 3, and it gives me a warning like "Warning! There is a non-critical mismatch..yadayadayada"
So I hit ignore, and all is well till I get to my Sims house, then as soon as I move the camera it crashes.
I tried deleted all the mods, and all kinds of shit.
Then I realized "owait, I have 1.42 patch.."
So I manually install the 1.47 patch because Origin isn't working, and I try to open the game..
"PLEASE INSERT THE SIMS 3 PETS CD"
areyoufuckingkiddingme.
I should add, I have all torrent versions of the games.
inb4 omg thats illegal.
SO,
I'm here to ask if there's anyway I can download the 1.42 version of this mod, to save a lot of hassle.
Thank you very much.
