Introduction
In every Sims game to date, there have always been bugs, issues, graphical errors, and other things that are bound to go wrong. So, in response to these things, Maxis and EA release a "Patch" for the game. These patches are designed to fix errors that are found within the game after it has been released. More recently, in the TS3 times, people have been experiencing issues with the patches. This section is designed to make sure that you don't experience these known issues with patches, and how to ensure that you properly install them. To keep everything neat and orderly, the steps have been laid out and organized for you, and placed on separated pages to ensure no confusion. Good luck, and enjoy your spiffy patched game!

If you have Sims3Packs content you need to reinstall, remember Launcher on patch 1.8/2.3 is broken. Any redownloaded Sims3Packs will not work, either. I would patch to 1.7/2.2, then install any previously downloaded Sims3Packs (before Dec '09) at this point. Then patch to 1.8/2.3 from 1.7/2.2. Then you might attempt installing newly downloaded Sims3Packs, after patching to 1.8/2.3. Some folks have resorted to keeping a "working Launcher" folder as outlined by this post at MATY, which you can now keep as you're about to reinstall, and use this version instead of the patched 1.8/2.3 version.
Before You Begin
- Highly recommended that you read through these pre-steps as a precaution. Better safe than sorry!
Patch Downloads
- If you're using the launcher, this doesn't matter as much.
- If you don't have internet access enabled while you play the game, read in here
Invalid File Error
- Are you experiencing this error? Read in here.
Once It's Installed...
- Is it installed now? Good! Now what? Read in here.
Common Errors
- Common errors, simple fixes. Look in here if something just isn't right.
Patch Update Log
- List of patches and their updates to the game.
If All Else Fails
- If nothing else helps, reinstall using the specific steps in this guide
