Manually Patching to 1.11.7 Base Game--help :(

[underwater]

I had to uninstall TS3 several months ago due to some computer issues. Now those issues are fixed. But now I have Sims 3 issues galore!

Specs:

Win 7
TS3 Base Game
No mods/hacks/CC installed

So obviously I want to use Awesomemod, so I cant use EADM to install the patches because it wants to go to 1.12 and Amod is only compatible with 1.11 for now. So I've downloaded all the patches up to 1.11.7.

Patching to 1.2.7 failed, "unknown file" error. Downloaded the Sims 3 log and it told me my UI.package was broken. So I reloaded the one from my DVD. Patch Successful!

Patching to 1.3.24 failed, mostly "invalid file" then "patch verification failed" and now it just freezes after about 1% of the bar is full and I have to end the process in task manager. After a few attempts, the Sims 3 logger said everything was normal. Now it says my UI.package is broken again. Did the same thing I did the first time, but all the patch launcher does now is freeze at 1%.

My game launcher also started crashing, but now seems stable. I CAN play the game with patch 1.2.7...but would really like to get to 1.11.7 and use Awesomemod!

Help!

Seriously? Read.



Mosquito: Thanks for the link but I already followed every suggestion listed in that guide. Guess I'll try uninstalling again and try to find a compiled 1.11.7 patch somewhere or just go all the way to 1.12 and suffer without Awesomemod for a bit.

Hopefully your martyr badge will be showing up in the mail soon.

Make sure you are installing the correct version of the patch for your region.

Yeah, see, that sort of thing would have been discovered by a search or a thorough reading of pretty much every thread here regarding patching, not to mention in the links on the TS3 Patching guide at MTS2 that Mosquito linked to and the OP claims to have read.

I made the mistake of uninstalling my entire game after the CTD with ambitions.  When I reinstalled I couldn't get the launcher or EADM to work so I couldn't update.  My game couldn't be patched manually unless I used the links from MTS.

Jeez people I know you like to jump on any chance to act snotty, but chill a bit?

My search of google, MTS, and this forum brought up lots of suggestions...which I tried. That MTS guide was the first thing to pop up in google. Some worked, some didnt, some were for a different result. I was hoping someone would know anything about why UI.package keeps breaking.

Kodawaruonna: Thanks for the tip but already confirmed I have the correct region.

rhodaloo: Glad you had some luck with it. Hopefully I can borrow some from you when I reinstall it again

You're aptly named, aren't you?

Yup. I`m quite annoying and I suck blood. So it was either this, "Tampon" or "Edward Cullen". I think I made the right choice. But thank you for asking!

For the record, tampons and mosquitos are much less annoying than Edward Cullen.
