New Sims 3 Patch – update to version 1.2.7!
Yes, the moment many of us have been waiting for – a patch for our game! It may not fix everyone’s problems, but they did manage to cover the basic ones. Here’s the full list of changes:
- Addresses some issues with Speed 2 and 3 moving too slowly. Some machines will have better results when using Speed 2 and 3 now.
- Fix to story progression on/off selection toggle.
- Fix for a possible crash with audio code.
- Fix for babysitter routing off lots with babies.
- Addresses some issues with Vsync and refresh rate problems.
- Addresses some issues with DVD authentication errors and drive compatibility on startup.
- This update deals with some issues on Mac systems that can crash the game while connecting to AFP servers.
- Fix for a freeze that can occur when Sims attempt to clean out bad food from the fridge.
To grab this patch, you can open up your game launcher and it’ll automatically prompt you to update. Or you can visit our Sims 3 Patches section and download a zip file to install it manually (thanks to The Sims Slovenija for providing this!)

Hi guys i downloaded the illegal game copy and i need some help in updating it (& if you care so much about whether it’s illegal or not DONT BOTHER COMMENTING). Anyways, this question is for the ppl who have the illegal copy of the game. I downloaded patchlogviewer from modthesims & it isn’t identifying the invalid files that stop the patch installation. (i’m trying to install the retail patch) Can anybody who has the illegal game please tell me how they got patches onto their game. I would strongly appreciate it thanks a billion

More than likely the patchlogviewer will not work because it detects your copy as a fake, so it won’t run properly. I don’t know what version your copy is but if it is something like 1.0.615 then you cannot use any of the official patches to upgrade your game as EA made sure it would load them.

I have read all the comments and finally came to a solution but i need someone to help me instead. I used the patchlogviewer and found that the error file is
[ Applying DFC Update for 'Game\Bin\HelpPages\CZE_CZ\Help_Updates.html' ] and when i try to fix and put a new one from cd it still comes up to an error… I need someone to send me ths file if he has the official game cd! I would be very glad if someone could do it… Judhdson please how can we communicate??

What if you copied the whole folder with all the contents over from the CD to that area. What does it report when you do that?
about 1 year ago
That version is the leaked copy, there is no official update patch to bring it up-to-date. I don’t have a clue when it comes to troubleshooting un-supported versions, so I can’t really help you on that.

Ok I know this is going to sound dumb. I went to regedit and sims3 and all that comes up is ergc. Where is SKU?

I have had major issue since the latest patch, the 1.10. I have the legit digital download versions of the base game and the expansion. I worked back and forth with ea tech support and they game me nothing but a run around. In order for me to use my game and the items i legitimately purchased from the ea store i need to get my game to the 1.8.25.003002 version. After manually uninstalling and reinstalling the base game I am at version 1.0.631.00107. I have found alot of patch ugrades but nothing from this version. Can anyone help me get to at least version 1.0.631.0002 so that I can update my game?

My problem is, my launcher opens but no button works there and he says my base game is incompatible with the expansion pack. The problem is: i have buy the sims 3 and the expansion pack together, of the same region.
What’s wrong?

Your base Sims 3 game needs to be updated and it appears you’ve only downloaded the update for your expansion. So check out the updates for the base game and look in your launcher to see what version your base game is then update from there

i have a problem in updating my sims 3. [It's a pirated version] and it pop up a menu that says: The setup has detected that no version of The Sims?3 is installed.
This update requires that a previous version of the application be installed. Could any one help me with this??

Hi,
I had the same problem with the regional code, legit copy, but I didn’t have the SKU file where I was looking.
SO,
I had to go to HKU_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE and then
Wow3264node
Sims
The Sims3
SKU (Double click)
And then change my regional code:
1 = US
2 = UK
7 = Asian
I’m guessing this is something to do with VISTA.
Hope that helps

I have questions so i have hard time to update my games, so i heard that a lot people have same problem so i download a files from sims3 web, after i installed the files, my game launcher still showing the old version: 8.0152.011001. so im not sure if i really did update.
and after i put my new generation cd, it shows “No game disk found. Please insert The Sims 3 Generations disk.
I cleaned my cd many times and still not working, and my macbook pro is pretty new so my computer should be good enough to play this game…

I have tried three times to update my game (partly so I can try the world maker, which will only apparently work if I update the game)
Everything is fine and dandy until the patch reaches 100%, then the whole process starts again and I am back to square one, and because I am lazy and I would rather not waist 647 MB quota time I tried to download, I gave up.
But I am still wondering what happened, and if there is a way to dowload the patch without it trying to waist my bandwitch and not even get anything from it in the process.
I own a legit (downloaded from Origin/EA download manager) copy, and If I have to download the base game again just so I can get the patch, I just will not.
