ok so ive read everything i could possibly find on this. my issue is the sims 3: generations. im working towards doing the ultimate fix but my problem is that when trying to install the EP i get an error saying i need to update the sims 3(which when i click yes update doesnt work. imguessing i need to manualy update so im in process of downloading the manual 1.39.3 update from yall. do i need to apply that to the sims 3 or to the sims 3 generations and will what im downloading fix my problem? also what order should i do the fixes in? im guessing do the update first then install generations then the ultimate fix without cracking anything? oh and yes the origional base game was downloaded from games4theworld

Update doesn't work why? Error or what?

You just click on the patch and it does the work. Also, only have patches for the base game.

Yes updating to 1.39 should let your install generations.

Yeah, do the patch, install all expansions you want, then apply the Ultimate Fix.

Hope it helps, let us know if you need anything else.
