After I put mu downloads and mods out,then patched with the Cumulative Update patch. Now when I try and play there is no loading screen,just the progress bar and the words going along the bottom of the screen you cant read them. Maybe I should try putting my mods and downloads back in and see if that helps.

[Capitaine Marie]

The patch also adds the ability to view the whole Sims 3 Store in-game -- and it's NOT optional.  DNW.    More details at SimsVIP, here (scroll down).

Hopefully, Pes will have a fix for this soon.

[witch]

So is the game still playable if it can't talk to the internet, as mine can't?

[RebelRed]

Did anyone tell Pes there is a patch this time?

Well it kinda is optional. The button on the right of the Buy Mode panel toggles Store Mode on or off. When it's off, you won't see any store shit. It's exactly the same as before except for the button itself. You can't disable the button's presence, but hiding it with a mod should be trivial to do.

[witch]

Did anyone tell Pes there is a patch this time?

I just did, so he has no excuse. 

[RebelRed]

You are awesomesauce!

[Capitaine Marie]

Thankees. 

I always get antsy waiting for an AM update.  I feel like I did as a kid riding in the car:  "Are we there yet, Daddy?  Why aren't we there yet?!  DAD!!"

[Ambular]

Waiting to see what this one breaks and whether the incremental or the cumulative version is safer...

[J. M. Pescado]

Patch is currently digesting. Expect test version by morning at latest.

[claudiasharon]

I can't seem to patch, I keep getting the same error. Using the cumulative patch I get this error:



Using the incremental I just get "file not found". Wtf does this mean?

[unknownlUser]

It means : don't use the evil Launcher!

[claudiasharon]

I didn't that's the cumulative patch. Which I downloaded from here. Then I tried it from crinrict's site. Still gives me the same error.

Oh and I tried searching on this issue and did what I found to solve the issue and I'm still getting the same error.

Now I'm getting a new error, getting past the first error though. I have a legit copy of the game so there's no reason for this error.

[unknownlUser]

That's too damn bad. Boo Hoo. A reinstall is so damn difficult?

I'd first test if the download destination is the culprit ("the medium is corrupted"). Download to another partition or harddrive. If not, you have a fun uninstall ahead of you.
If the medium is the Sims 3 install itself, may mean you have a failing HDD.

[claudiasharon]

Tried that already still didn't work.

[genecyst]

Looks to me like you've applied a no cd crack. You should have backed up the original files before appying such crack. Now you get the joy of reinstalling the whole game.

[J. M. Pescado]

For those of you wondering why it took this long to post the test version, the answer is that apparently, EAxis has tried to sabotage us.

Here's what happened:
For some UTTERLY BAFFLING reason, even when isolated by itself and therefore totally inert, the AwesomeMod dll would crash the game on load. Now, you'd think, that, in and of itself, would just be my lousy code, except for one interesting wrinkle:
Simply changing the NAME of the DLL made it stop. No actual CODE was changed, just the name. Why would THIS make it suddenly work perfectly again? The only logical answer I can think of is deliberate sabotage.

[claudiasharon]

Looks to me like you've applied a no cd crack. You should have backed up the original files before appying such crack. Now you get the joy of reinstalling the whole game.

Wrong answer. I don't use no cd cracks, I don't need them. (Awesomemod or NRaas anyone?) And I'm smart enough to remove stuff before patching. So no, it is not a crack.

I still don't know why it isn't working. So I'm reinstalling anyways since no one seems to have an answer, and all the answers are not helping. Hopefully that will work if not then I'll just wait until the game comes out and it auto patches itself. Because that makes some sort of sense. Not really. But whatever. Will find out soon enough.

[J. M. Pescado]

CRC error means your download is damaged. Possible causes: Firewall malfunction, bad download, or failing hard drive.

[claudiasharon]

I tried it on a different hard drive, still had the same issue. Downloaded it at least 10 times now. Did a complete reinstall of the game and am still having the same issue.

Edit: I tried the incremental patch again and still got an invalid file found error. Cumulative patch gives the crc error.

All the other patches installed just fine when I did my reinstall, it's just this one that isn't working.

Looks like the patch might be broken anyway: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/581172.page.   (Scroll down to the third post.)

Looks like the patch might be broken anyway: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/581172.page.   (Scroll down to the third post.)

Aren't they always?  I don't remember the last time EAxis released a patch that wasn't broken in some way.

[freckles]

Yet again a patch that is meant to fix something in the game breaks the game.

 The last time I had to uninstall everything because the load screen wasn't there,just the progress bar. This time the same thing,I have uninstalled everything,taken out mods and all downloads,re installed without mods or downloads,I then install the new test version of AM and still I get no load screen only the progress bar.

So now I have to uninstall everything and start again without the fucked up new patch.
