1) the game when launched from the launcher would say unable to connect to origin... it will download some content...and than ask for island 3 cd
2) if i execute the game from inside the bin..... the menu comes up blank.... i can choose anything

i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of it but no avail! i really need help with this.

I also don't advise downloading patches from launcher because the newest patch might not be cracked. Get the manual patch from here and use it to update your Sims. Apply the crack so it doesn't ask for Island Paradise CD. You can always back up the files that crack would override and put them back if you need them.

You'll have to re-install again, though, because the patch level of what you download from launcher is above current manual patch level, or at least it was few days ago when I installed it.

So, install Sims, apply the fixes I guess, apply manual patch, install Island Paradise, apply manual patch again, paste the crack (from the ultimate fix). It should work that way.

Patches themselves (usually) don't "crack" anything, and of course you can update your game with the launcher, and then use the "Ultimate fix" (crack).  And what you get with the launcher is the same as with the manual patch - namely the game version 1.67.

I know that patches don't crack anything - that's why, in case the game versions from crack and patch you get from your launcher are different, it could bugger the game up. That's what I meant.

Again: there is no "new" game version beyond the current 1.67 one.

ok so i m executing it twice n its updating it again... it asked me that do its the latest version blah blah and do i still want to update n i said yes.... so it is updating to 1.67.2

hopefully this works

I also installed Sims 3(Base) and Sims3(Island Paradise).

I just have a question what is this Script Error that pops out after "Error - Unable to connect to Origin"

Is that alright?

This is how I installed Sims3. (Didn't use any #Crack Folder only used the ones in Ultimate Fix)

1. So Sims3(Base) didn't install EA Manager.
2. Update 1.67 manual patch for Sims3.
3. Installed Sims3(Island Paradise) didn't install Origin.
4. Update 1.67 manual patch for Sims3. (Though the computer said it's already 1.67, I was just following the steps on how to correctly install Sims3.)(Did I do it right on this step?)
5. Opened Ultimate Fix Rar archive. Copy some files.(The files I only copied are those inside #Crack, or are there any other files I missed to copy, if yes where should I put it?)
