I had the 3booter set up before. I don't normally use the launcher, but it seemed worth a try at the time since nothing was working.

It didn't occur until now that I should set that up again and see if it helps.

I haven't played Sims 3 since Pets. I've been lurking around best I can. There seems to be a lot of different things going on as far as not using cracks and new places to put your mods. I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a thread or site with current instructions or pointers for retards? I'm installing all expansions and patches except 1.50.

I found the info on setting up the place for mods.

I had a lot of issues with my game when I first tried it again, I then tried everything with CC and with none. I then patched it to 1.50 and it was unplayable. So I did the stupid thing and uninstalled everything for a fresh start. I Arr'ed all the packs from the same person so there will hopefully be no issues there.(games4theworld) I downloaded the fixes from their sites and the Patch Downloader from mts.

I tried using the launcher and it gave me a message about my copy being not legit, blah. I tried patching it before installing WA with the launcher and the patcher. Didn't work. I used the cracked TS3app anyway, and I could open the game but I couldn't patch it or download WA since it couldn't update during setup either. I read the manual from the fix and that depends on me installing another expansion. Which I can't.

So, can someone please help?


Edit: Games4theworld is full of fail.  They complicate everything.  Downloaded ftl/reloaded and everything worked fine. It was extremely simple.
