The Sims 3: Store Updates download issue

Hi. I downloaded The Sims 3: Store Updates from piratebay.org by games4theworld. I proceeded to follow the instructions and have successfully installed Barnacle Bay, Dr. Pepper Stadium, and Modern Movie Stadium. The thing I have a problem with is the Riverview update.

I proceeded to install this update, but this error message appeared.

Riverview.Sims3.Pack: Installation failed: Please make sure your game has the latest Software Updates and try again. Done!

I have Sims 3 and all it's updates.
World Adventures
Ambitions
Late Night
Generations

I also have the stuff packs:
High-End Loft Stuff
Fast Lane Stuff
Outdoor Living Stuff
Town Life Stuff

I installed ALL of these in order according to wikipedia release date without even playing a single game as I wanted the best game experience possible.

I followed all the installation procedures, and even applied The Sims 3: Ultimate Fix

Game version 9.0.73.012001
Game works perfectly.

This is the only problem I have. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Do you have an updated version of this file I may download?

While I was reading the comments on piratebay.org, I noticed someone mention a "magic" pack that was not included in this download. I am curious as to where I can download this. Can anyone provide a link?

If there are other upgrades or packs I am missing out on, please let me know so that I may download them.

Thank you.

There is in fact a Riverview update that works.
As for the magic pack, I'm assuming you're talking about the spellbook. That one is included in the July store update, also by G4TW. You'll need a spellbook fix that can be found here.
If you never want to miss out on new The Sims 3 stuff again, consider joining our The Sims (3) fangroup.

Thank you for the quick reply. I found the Riverview fix, but in the July 2011 issue, I cannot find the spellbook update at all. I also tried looking around for it in the site, I saw this link titled "The Sims 3 Store updates 1 to 26 (Up to July 2011) OUT NOW!: and proceeded to click the link provided. I received a 404 error.

Can you provide me with another link to these new updates? Honestly, I get lost in the forums because update links and people asking questions are all kind of mixed up and it's hard to find what I'm looking for.

Hello,

Or you can download our Up to July torrent and then download the August files from MediaFire separately.

They are up to August 2011 on Pirate Bay for Store Items and it works fine. I followed the directions listed here on Games4theWorld on the install but I used *.packages instead of the Sims3 installs which take forever and 2 days to install. After the installs of Everything from the store from day 1 to now Aug 2011 the game ran wonderfully and smoothly. I did however have to install a ready-made FrameworkSetup which is a 2kb file and placed it in the Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 folder which allows *.Packages to be added to the game without installation of each store file. The best directions I have yet to see are the ones here and "Installing Sims 3 Package Files/Setup and Files" on "Mod The Sims." so if I have done a booboo by posting in the wrong area please excuse me as I am just providing my extra cent to this thread but knows what I speaks about of course after installing the Sims 3 18 trillion times and All the addons to date. Cya Take Care and do not forget the Framework located at "Mod The Sims" (Which will be the first site you receive under the search results on Google) on the Hompage will be a drop down box so choose Help/Sims3/Installing *.Package files on the "Mod The Sims site. It is too easy people. 18 Trillion times to install and Once to see the Light. LOL . I will spend forever and a day working on a problem and will not move on till Problem is fixed.

//EDIT

Oh and I do not have BullCrap installed everything was made by EA and it
works Lovingly. So no Mod the Sims extras for me as who in the Hell
would want more than almost 6 gigs of EA store extras installed and have
1 non EA made item screw up the game? Funk that Only downloading what
is a 100% EA INSTALL.
