Hello

Thank you for that, it's appreciated! Keep coming back when new updates are released, as I'll be updating this Fix too. For now, have fun playing!

I registered just to thank you for the downloads. It's been much easier using your downloads than searching endlessly for something that just might (but always ended up not able to) work. Thank you!


I'm sorry if this violates the "no problem posting" rule, but it's more of a question. I bought the base game and HELS, so I was wondering if installing the bought copy of HELS would cause a problem with the cracked copies of everything else?

Thanks again!

Hello,

Thank you and you're welcome! No, it won't cause any problems, since you only need to crack the Generations expansion, as described here: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly-must-read

Wow, this looks great ! Just registered on here to thank you ... and ask - not so much a problem, but a question ... will this ultimate fix work on sims 3 and expansion packs downloaded from elsewhere, if I use the final Generations pack from here and apply the fix ? Thanks

T

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
decided to go through the trouble of creating an account just to show my appreciation, because you guys have gone through even much much more trouble just to provide this fix/guide for us and made our day.
really, THANK YOU! you guys rock!

in case anyone having the same problem I had:
I only installed till generations, but just so you know, you can still use the fix from the #Crack/Town Life Stuff folder hope this helps.

Admin edit: Thank you for your time, it's appreciated too! You're more than welcome if you ever have any problems. For now, have fun playing!

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!! I now can play the Sims 3 <3<3 Thank you sooo much. I registered just to say thanks ^^

It works perfectly. I've reïnstalled many times the Sims 3 because it didn't work, then I found this and now it finially works!! Thank you sooo much!!

Admin edit: I'm glad it works for you too! Please stick around and don't hesitate to let us know if you run into more problems in the future!

- ADMIN

I will ask if that happens ^^

Thanks for thanking...

I saw that the latest Late Night update is 6.5.1
so will there be any problem because you mentioned an earlier update in the fix (6.0.8 i think...)
thanks, seems like a super helpful site.
i'm new btw, and I'm not a native english speaker so I hope I don't have too many mistakes..)

No problem, update the base game and your expansions to the latest version and apply the fix.

You know didn't really believe that it will really work, and at first i was "right"- i put only the crack because i knew my games were up to date.
then i decided i got nothing to lose so i replaced all of the files with their fixes.
and like I knew, the game didn't require any further updates.
BUT, this time, the game actually worked!
I'm looking for a solution for so long and u just had it the whole time!
This stuff might be kinda illegal but if kids don't have enough money and they can't afford this expensive game, you're like angels to them! (well im not one of them but i can't stop thinking about how true this is, and i do buy the original games in order to support EA games and their amazing games.)
So, thanks people

in the instrution it says update whith the launcher then i have to install the EA downloud manager?

i just whant to say that its works fine for me. but i just take the crack in the town life & generations folder and past it in sims3/game/bin and then all problems gone. thanks wery much

//EDIT

i dont install the EA download manager the louncher works anyway

just made an account to say thanks!!! AWESOME IT WORKS AFTER HOURS OF SEARCHING

Admin edit: Thank you for that! Enjoy the game and be sure to come back if the game gets updated!

Hi,

so, I'm just too lazy (and have a certain lack of resorces) to download and install the g4tw version of the sims 3, nor could I find the sku(for my retail copy) on my machine, so I was wondering if there is an easier/different way of getting TS3 WA. I am installing the game on a machine that does not have internet, so I am having to download on my laptop, transfer using an old external hard drive, then unraring, installing, and everything on a 5 or 6 six year old dell computer that can run it, it just takes a little longer to load everything... but anyways, ya, it would be nice to have world adventures and all, but it is getting annoying, and I can't find where the sku is.... think y'all can help a person out???

I can live without it (this is mostly for my younger brother).
thanks in advance if you can help.

EDIT: I tried doing it without WA and it didn't work... I quit playing a while back because of all this...
EDIT: EDIT: JK strike that last edit... i got it to work!!! soo... awesome, thanks for most of it!

Thanks!! works wonderfully!! !!
can't wait till Pets comes along. Keep up the great work!

I love you guys for making this! Originally my plan was to update my game which was successful but it 'caused my cd crack to break. After searching for a bit I found this and I'm amazed at how easy it was and how well it works! Thanks guys! To anyone who may be skeptical like I usually am when I look for game fixes:
My game (which I played for hours today) is proof that this works! And like I said, it's very simple just read the directions.
