Yes, going back to version 1.7.9 (NOT 1.825) for the sims3 without first addon dvd solve the problem, and the additional dowload content come back in the game. After, you can install the addon world addventure with the update 2.28 (NOT 2.33), and all will work proper. it seem that the additionnal crash problems are due to the graphic agp nvidia driver 195.xx, going back to 191.50 remove the crach's.

Have fun and happy chrismas to all's

I hope that the release of this trailer is a sign that things don't quite work out on the S3-Store the way they wanted.

What is the easiest way to get back to previous version because I'm too lazy to install everything from the beginning.

Well, since the patcher actually patches files, unfortunatelly you can only reinstall the whole thing.

What happens if you use the previous 1.7.9 crack with game exe, launcher and that .dll file? might make the loader work though how this would affect the actual game.
(It might work to only use the older launcher EXE though.)

EDIT: Details on new content, probably won't work without the latest update which in turn limits installation of such content if it's not original.

Hey trust this as far as you can throw it..after all i found it on the internet..s...Figured someone already gathered this but if not it might be of interest..

(This is from the sims forum)
Quote:
NickJohn wrote:1.82 was an attempt to thwart custom content sharing. Unfortunately, the code that accompanies the item conflicts with the game especially if the game is an older version that has been patched. Ex:1.06 to 1.4 to 1.6 to 1.7 etc. The point of including a validation binary was to guarentee that objects would only work that were purchased directly from the EA store. Unfortaunate side effect was that any games that had mods or pirated software, awsomemod, a borrowed or shared texture or anything downloaded from a community site messed up a good previously working game.

What galls me is I spoke to a coder and compiler who works a EA I met at a New Years party and he explained to me that it is all a big joke at EA about the Sims game. To respect his privacy, I told him I would not reveal who he was so he did tell me a few other things. They are going to make the game and patching mandatory to run the game, so that any custom content must be bought from EA, smart business profits, dumb for the developing community. Which means, if you run the Sims3 and are conected to the internet, you will get a notice that the game needs to be patched or it will not launch.

So here's what I make of this, play the game as made by EA, buy there stuff if you like it, don't mess around with mods and third party stuff as it effects the next patch that will block some other work around to all this.

It seems to me that this video game company is more invested in protecting its intellectual property than providing a good stable game. It's in their right to do so, read your EULA, it is also your right not to buy their games or expansion packs or whatevere they produce if you don't like the way they code their software.

Well they are working on a few larger item packs and probably many smaller individual items so that seems logical as to for them maximize profits, same for future expansions and to block "harmful" mods in the process, somewhat of a annoyance as I do like some of the modifications released but I guess this is a rather logic continuation of what the latest patch brought.

EA are idiots, end of story. Custom content works just fine when in .package format and placed in the Mods\Packages folder (use Framework or similar), it's only sims3packs that do not work. You can also unpack sims3packs to .package files and put them in the Mods\Packages folder (some might need merging with s3pe). If after updating you find your installed content wont work, you can simply move your .dbc files from inside your EA game folder in your Documents to the Mods\DCCache (again if you use Framework/Monkeybars) and they'll work just fine on the latest patches. Riverview.world can be placed in the game directory (\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds) though you may find after a while your saves don't work. A simple deletion of your Documents\EA will fix that and you can replace the \Saves directory after. It will stuff any Riverview saves, but that place is bland anyway.

Better luck screwing people next time EA.

Isn't it just a repost of the original "promo" disk that was given away before the game came out? It's just a character creator people used to make their Sims ready to import into the full game.

Vitality also released a full DVD called "Sims 3 Futuristic Lodge" or something like that, kinda big (4.4 GB) for a bunch of items unless EA rammed the disc full of promo materials and extras. Very Happy

Sorry, just had to =D

On topic. I didn't try this yet, wasn't really enthusiastic about Sims 3 when it came out. Is the game any fun at all?

Pic relevant! Very Happy

As for Sims 3, yeah.. it's great fun. The only drawback comes from the significantly LESS objects compared to earlier games with their expansions Sad The game itself is awesome with a ton of neat upgrades and ideas, and it gets even better with the World Adventures pack Very Happy

I can't find anything online about that "Futuristic Lodge" though :\

(Also includes "all time favorite" vibrating bed from Sims 2.)

(Also seems the NFO layout got messed up.)

EDIT: Removed/Altered serial in NFO.

Awesome, thanks mate! I dunno how but that addon completely passed me by >_< I also found out what the new Create-A-Sim thing is; it's a new release that completely changes the stock CAS in Sims 3, giving more control and more options over how you look and what your styles are. Apparently EA said the CAS in Sims 2 was far more flexible, so they released this to "upgrade" the one in Sims 3. Yet another cash in.

(oh and pssst JB; key is in the NFO <3)

I just hope that this stuff-pack is another sigh that the Sims Store is failing miserably.

I also liked the S2 characters better. The S3 ones look awfully samey, no matter how much I try to make them look different. Especially the women.

I'm curious too as to what this CAS upgrade is, especially considering the filesize. What could possibly be in there that would bloat it out that much? A simple UI change and a few extra options would amout to a couple of hundred mb at the most. I'm guessing this must include a boatload of additional textures, though even then it seems rather large. As for the females looking samey, there's a mod over at modthesims that adds sliders for tits, ass, hips and wastes, but I'm unsure these will work with the latest patches just released (2.0.8.4/2.4.7.0). There's also awesomemod that increases the slider limit as one of its functions. There's also some custom worlds over there for Sims 3 so if you're bored of the two official worlds go have a look.

Patches.

EDIT: Hah, high-end loft pack contains all Windows and Mac patches so that's why it takes up a entire DVD, without those it's only 320 MB.

Wow, building basements Very Happy I can be a proper serial killer now Laughing


Just remember to build from the basement up, and not make the mistake of hoping to add a basement to an existing house Sad

^^ Thanks!

If I've got World Adventures installed, do I just need the WA2.4 patch/crack or do I need the S31.9 one too?
