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 [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,17743.0.html 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.''</ins></div></td></tr>
