Confused... (About The Sims)

Okay so i wanted to get The Sims 3 for my pc (windows 7 home premium). I downloaded everyone of the expansions and the game from your piratebay account. And all the different installation-guides seems to contradict eachother, and in addition I see that in one of your other threads that there is a fix for The Sims 3 uploaded somewhere, so I just got reeeeeeally confused about the whole thing and I just wanted your help to what I must do, and in what order.



P.S. - I know there might be some typos here, but I am 15, and from Norway

Hello,

Please do as following:

1. Install The Sims 3 base game, but DO NOT apply ány cracks yet!
2. Install the expansions you like, but DO NOT apply ány cracks yet!
3. Install our Late Night expansion, but DO NOT apply ány cracks yet!
4. Install our Outdoor Living Stuff expansion, but DO NOT apply ány cracks yet!
5. Apply this fix: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t752-the-sims-3-latest-fix-should-fix-most-of-your-problems
6. The game should work fine now!

So all the expansions (exept La and OLS) can be installed in random order no matter what the installation-guides say?

//EDIT

Cracks... does that mean the serial-codes?

Hello,

Yes, you can install them in random order. The Installation Guides are kind of out-of-date.

No, the cracks are the files in the "# Crack" folders.

So the move you say I mustn't do is the "replace with the files in crack" step, just to be 100% sure?

Hello,

Yes, exactly. Just skip those steps.

What happens if I do things like the installation guides say?

Hello,

You may get "Invalid File" errors later in the process.

What does that new fix that you linked to fix?
When I try to open the link to your fix the site won't load

I think I'm just going to go with the installation guide included (is that stupid?)

Hello,

No, you HAVE to apply the fix. Since our website is down for a few days, please download via this mirror: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TYNL63AN

Code:

1. First be sure you've Installed The Sims 3 from ® Games4theworld:
www.thepiratebay.org/user/games4theworld

2. Now open the Start menu. Type 'regedit' in the search box and press [ENTER]. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sims\The Sims 3  and double-click on 'SKU'. Change the shown
number to 2 and press 'OK'. Close the Register Editor.

3. Open the '# Crack' file in this .rar file and open 'Crack 1'. Run the 'sims3patch.exe' and
follow on screen instructions. Change the 'C:\Program Files\Sims 3' to:
'C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3' before Installing the Patch! (If you have
Installed The Sims 3 in an other language, it'll be something else. Like when you Installed
The Game in Dutch, it'll be: 'C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\De Sims 3', so be sure you
check what you have, otherwise it won't work!

4. Open the 'Crack 2' folder in the '# Crack' file. Copy áll the files in that folder
to: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin and REPLACE them by the existing ones.

5. Now open the 'Crack 3' folder and start the 'Sims3_1.2.7.00002_from_1.0.631.00002.exe'
patch.

6. Do the same with the other .exe Patches in the 'Crack 3' folder, from up to down.
7. When you applied all the Updates, open The Sims 3 Launcher. You'll be prompted to Download
the EA Download Manager if you haven't already Installed it. So, if you don't have it, Install
it. When you've Installed the EA Download Manager, click on 'Refresh' on the Game Updates -tab.
A pop-up will appear, telling you that there's an Update for you Game. Click 'OK' to Download
and Install the Update.

8. Now completely close the Game including the EA Download Manager from the System Tray. Open
the 'Sims3EP01Setup.exe' in this .rar file. Follow on screen instructions to Install the
Game. When a Serial code is needed, use one of the following Serial codes:

3P55-ZXKE-ALJN-KALG-SRLD
WYGY-KFHB-PPSL-JPPQ-QRLD
LAJ2-B2W9-KDGZ-AKDE-5RLD

VU33-BGB6-DKRE-6DKP-JRLD
S8ZZ-7DVX-U7NY-UU7L-4RLD

9. Start the The Sims 3 launcher. You'll get a message that you're version of the Game is not
compatible. Click 'OK'. You're now on the Update window. Check the box inf front of the
'SIms3_2.5.12.004002_from_2.0.86.00.2002.exe' and click 'Update now'.

10. Completely close the Game again and open the '# Crack' file in this .rar file. Open the
'Crack 4' folder in there and copy áll the files in that folder to:
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 World Adventures\Game\Bin  and REPLACE them by the
existing ones.

So... I am supposed to skip step 4 and 10?

By my Noob-logic that won't work

Hello,

If you first install Outdoor Living Stuff and thén World Adventures, you can skip step 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10.

Good luck!

But in your first response you said that I was to install OLS as the last expansion

Hello,

There's no specific order, so it doesn't matter if you install OLS. Now, just install OLS first and thén WA, so you can skip the "# Crack" -part.

8. Now you can apply the crack, but you can also check out our Forum for our latest fix for The
Sims 3: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t752-the-sims-3-latest-fix-should-fix-most-of-your-problems
This fix makes it possible for you to Update your game whenever you like. (And the fix will be
updated whenever new information comes out)
If you just want to play the game now, apply the crack as following:

9. Open the "# Crack" folder in this .rar file and drag and drop the .exe and .dll file in there
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 Outdoor Living Stuff\Game\Bin and choose
"Replace" on the pop-up that appears, telling you the files already exist.
10. Start the game and... ENJOY playing!



I this updated to have working cracks?

Hello,

I don't understand what you mean.

Were my instructions in my previous comments really that hard?
