*MUST READ* How to install The Sims 3 correctly.
~If you wish to stay up-to-date about the latest Games4theworld The Sims news, please join THIS mailinglist!~
DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS AND READ EVERY STEP VERY CAREFULLY. DO EXACTLY AS WRITTEN BELOW, EVERY SINGLE STEP, BEFORE POSTING THAT IT DOESN'T WORK!
Hello everyone,
Seen the fact that a lot people are having problems with The Sims 3, while it works just fine, I decided to create this "guide" to show you how to install The Sims 3 correctly. If you do it this way, you'll automatically get the latest working version of the game. The steps aren't hard to understand, just READ CAREFULLY and DO NOT skip any steps!
So, these are the steps (AGAIN: do not do anything else, just do EXACTLY as written below).
(Extra note: if you are unable to 'reach' the download sites for the Ultimate fix and/or the manual patch, temporarily disable any browser adblockers; please refer to the disclaimer here for more information about the topic).
*********START***********Read each step carefully!***********START*********
Updated on: 6-12-2013
1. Download and install the The Sims 3 base game. (You may skip the "# Crack" folder. You DO NOT need to use the "# Crack"!)
2. After installing the base game, RE-DOWNLOAD and RE-APPLY this manual patch: https://www.games4theworld.club/t1870-can-t-update-the-sims-3-to-v1-67-fix-manual-patch (The Mac version of the manual patch can be downloaded HERE)
3. Install any expansion or stuff packs that you want. You can install as many as you want. (You may skip all the "# Crack" folders. You DO NOT need to use any "# Crack" folders!)
4. Finally we have to crack the game; RE-DOWNLOAD the latest version of our Ultimate Fix here: https://www.games4theworld.club/t752-the-sims-3-ultimate-fix-should-fix-most-of-your-problems
5. Open the "# Crack" folder in the Ultimate Fix and drag & drop the .exe and .dll file in there to exactly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin and choose "Copy and Replace" on the pop-up that appears, telling you the files already exist in that folder.
(If you downloaded and installed your base game via Origin, the crack goes into this folder instead: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 3\Game\Bin )
6. Start the game and... ENJOY playing!
*********END***********Read each step carefully!***********END*********
Extra note: all those folders in the Fix ARE NOT cracks, those are the original files needed to update the game, without getting the "Invalid File" error. The only crack files needed are the .dll and the .exe file in the "# Crack" folder.
Extra note 2: You'll need at least one of the following:
The Sims 3: Generations
The Sims 3: Town Life Stuff
The Sims 3: Pets
The Sims 3: Master Suite
The Sims 3: Showtime
The Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats Stuff
The Sims 3: Diesel Stuff
The Sims 3: Supernatural
The Sims 3: Seasons
The Sims 3: 70's, 80's & 90's Stuff
The Sims 3: University Life
The Sims 3: Island Paradise
The Sims 3: Movie Stuff
The Sims 3: Into the Future
DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS AND READ EVERY STEP VERY CAREFULLY. DO EXACTLY AS WRITTEN BELOW, EVERY SINGLE STEP, BEFORE POSTING THAT IT DOESN'T WORK!

Re: *MUST READ* How to install The Sims 3 correctly.
OMG! I finally did it. Ok. So, I'm gonna jot down what I was doing wrong.
1. When you install the base game, it's gonna ask you if you also want the download manager. You do. If not, you won't be able to follow trough with the last step, doing the updates. You'll get an error, something about being unable to update
2. Before cracking the game, make sure you close the sims launcher and also the sims from the system tray (alt+ctr+del). Better yet, just restart the computer and that will assure you you don't have any leftover sims opened Than copy the crack as instructed.
Thank you so much for the game. I so love playing with dolls
Admin edit: You do not need the EA Download Manager (Origin). Use updating manually instead.

Re: *MUST READ* How to install The Sims 3 correctly.
MY HERO!!!!! Registered as well to say thank you for saving my sanity. I have been crying all over the internet for a blooming month! I just refuse to play without my mods and my favorite cc. Refuse to bow to EA with their crappy stuff and overpriced worlds that should be included in our EP's anyway.
My installer was totally borked, would only install Ea store items, sims and lots. I could not even use the multi installer to convert my cc to pkgs to get it to work. I quit playing for a year after LN released last year I was so mad. Went back to Sims2. I was about to quit again when I found your site and UP to DATE fix. I am so grateful.
Blowing you guys kisses from the bluegrass state across the pond!!!
