Hello,

Do you have Ambitions Installed?

o.o yes i do

do i update ambitions to 4.5.6? and still use the fix from this forum?

Update and use the fix in the Crack topic of this forum ("Fixes")

Hello
I've tried for days to make my Ambitions to work. I got all the expansions and stuff packs from Games4theworld.
When i've installed Ambitions they wanted me to update because my game wasn't compatible with my base game. But it won't work. I couldn't update. (It just stopped the update when it was almost finished). So i installed this fix properly (uninstalled everything, restarted computer, installed everything again) but when i started the game and i tried to update: it didn't happen anything.
I've tried everything but it doesn't work and now I can't play the game..

Before I got the request that i needed to update, the game worked fine.

Hello,

What if you choose "No" on the "Do you want to Update?" screen?

In the beginning when the update didn't work, I just started the Sims and played but then the game just quit to desktop after a while. So I figured I needed that update. But now when I've installed that fix and uninstalled and installed everything, I couldn't no longer click on the X or cancel.
When I have the fix installed: I can just click OK and the popup diseappears but I can't do anything.
When I've uninstalled the fix: Nothing happens when I click on the update button myself. (there's no popup anymore)

Just getting so frustrated. Right now I've uninstalled everything.

Hi,
If it ask for the Cd, then you should re-do the crack part. Since, you only receive that error when you misplace the crack or skip the crack part.
Thanks.

Try this step:
1. Completely uninstall The Sims 3 + All expansions.
2. Restart your PC.
3. Reinstall The Sims 3. DO NOT APPLY THE CRACKS!
4. Install WA.* DO NOT APPLY THE CRACKS!
5. Install HELS.* DO NOT APPLY THE CRACKS!
6. Install Ambitions. DO NOT APPLY THE CRACKS!
7. Install Fast Lane Stuff.* DO NOT APPLY THE CRACKS!
8. Update the launcher to the latest version.
9. Apply these updated Cracks: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/fixes-f18/ts3-latest-crack-is-here-117-212-38-45-52-t607.htm
10. The Game should work fine now.

Just a quick question Narong. If I don't apply the cracks how am I supposed to install any of the expansions? I just installed the Sims 3. Did not do any cracks or anything. I went ahead and opened the install for WA and it said it has to update and then gives an error. Any advice on how best to proceed?

Hello,

Use the updates in the "Crack 3" folder in the WA .rar file you Downloaded. This way you'll have the latest version of The Sims 3, necessary to Install WA itself.

Is there an updated version of this file for Late Night?
