Patch 1.7/2.2 has been released and it has fixed the Error Code 16 save error but other issues still remain (As I am aware of). Just posting this here in case no one has noticed yet.

For those with WA, it will update both the basegame and WA.

Excellent! Thank you. Now if you will forgive me for asking one more question... Do I want to install the patch, before or after installing World Adventures?
-----Edit: Nm, ^_^ Looks like I had to patch both before and after. Had issues with direct links, even after changing SKU #s, so just used EADM for the patches... and just got rid of it afterwards.

Where do you check what version of the game you have? I installed the game from what I believe was 1.4.6 but the game performed an update right before installing World Adventures and I no longer know what version I have.
I was under the impression that using the Game Launcher was a bad thing. Is that still the case?

The only way I know how to check what version you have, is through the launcher...Bottom-left corner... I'd think there would be another way, but don't have a clue myself...
I use the launcher to install TS3 store downloads only, I just make sure its blocked by my firewall, or I'll d/c the internet first. No explosions or sirens yet ^_~ But I usually avoid making a habit of using it too much.
I think the main "Bad thing" about it was the potential to wave flags at EA, in case you had Pirated content.

I don't believe there is any reason why you could not bring up the game launcher to see what version of the game you are running and this information will appear in the lower left hand corner. You can then simply close the launcher rather than booting the game from it. However, Motoki wrote a detailed post in the "STOP THE INSANITY..." thread (subsequent to EA releasing the first patch to the base game) on this issue which I have linked, here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,16229.0.html in which he describes how to check this using another method, as sometimes the patches/updates are unsuccessful. |

Wait a second, what does the link here have to do with the people who can't live without AM? It's not as if this patch is any more compatible. |

I was wondering the same thing, I was still at 1.4 for reasons that have nothing to do with AM, but EA. I saw all the fuss about 1.6 errors so thought I'd wait for something more... Would have waited further but got too impatient. I love awesome mod, but I'm willing to do without for a short time if it comes between that or not playing the game at all. Besides, if I may end up having to take out CC and re-create certain things anyways, I dont want to let myself stay too comfy with my current save games. |

Okay, so my version on the game launcher says 2.0.86.002002 which does not compute as I thought the versions out were 1.5/1.6 and 1.7. In order to install patches, I need to download EADM, which is unnecessary and pointless I have heard although it is not malicious. There are a few links to download the patches directly without having to go through EADM and I'd like to do that only I don't know which of the links to download from as my game version does not match with any of those direct links. For instance, here is a link to the latest 1.7 patch: http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_1.7.9.002002_from_1.6.6.002002.exeAnd here's the one before this patch 1.5/1.6: http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_1.6.6.002002_from_1.4.6.00002.exeLooking at the SKUversion.txt file in my game directory under World Adventures says: GameVersion = 2.0.86.002002 The same file under the Sims 3 base game directory says: GameVersion = 1.5.82.002002 During installation of World Adventures my game performed an update which appears to have brought it to 1.5.82 from 1.4.6 (or the most recent patch before WA was released). Is there any harm in installing the 1.5/1.6 first and then the 1.7 patch from those direct links? If there is, what is the proper order to installing the patches? |

If I understand correctly, version 2.0.86.002002 means you have patch 1.6.6 and WA, so use the first link "Sims3_1.7.9.002002_from_1.6.6.002002.exe".

Ok I have a simple question but I'm not sure of the answer. If I update, will my crack not work anymore? I downloaded reloaded's version of WA.

I guess. You have to wait for a new crack or Awesomemod. |

Anyone have a clue why my Mac won't update? It just says I'm up to date, even with 2.0.86.002002. I'm using the RLD version, replaced the 2 cracked files with originals, still nothing. I've got no idea where to stick an .exe patch file for updating, as this thing can't read it on its own. NNNNNGH  |

Looks like this only fixes the Error Code 16 problem with 1.6.6.  I assume the terrible stability problems are still present. |

I tried apply the patch and it failed. It gave me an invalid file error message which I found to be code_version.txt. The text file has written inside it: description=Version: 0.RL-2.0.56 Changelist: 706761 It seems another poster has the same issue as I do: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,17256.0.html Can anyone provide assistance? EDIT: Issue resolved. I updated game via Game Launcher and installed EADM. With World Adventure installed, the game uses a different version number than just having the base game alone so using the direct links I posted before will not work if you have World Adventure installed. |

Woah, sounds more like "issue acquired". EADM? Blugh. |

Could you elaborate? The EA Download Manager is a very unnecessary piece of garbage that has issues. You do not need it, it causes wonkiness, throw it out with the rest of the trash. |
