* Patch 1.24.3 - released on '''Jul 26, 2011'''.
+
* Patch 1.27.5 - released on '''Oct 18, 2011'''.  
* Patch 1.25.3  - released on '''Sep 01, 2011''' to fix OSX Lion freezes with certain GPUs (9400M and 320M). This update is not necessary for 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, and in fact my SL partition does not get prompted that there is an update when I start Launcher. Might be why some on the official EA forums are having issues when they did update while on SL.
+
* Based on this [[Game_Help_Talk:TS3_Patching:Patch_Download/Current#Changes from SOP starting from 1.22|Changes from SOP starting from 1.22]] note, looks like there won't be any separate patches for any packs anymore. So what does this mean? The skuversion.txt of your EPs and SPs would show the last patch you applied to it, or its original retail version. For example, my Generations is at "<tt>GameVersion = 8.0.152.'''011'''001</tt>". But, Launcher will tag on the level numbers so it becomes "<tt>8.0.152.'''013'''001</tt>" in the Launcher screen ("<tt>9.0.73.'''013'''001</tt>" if you have Town Life), to match the base game's level (see Level column in [[Game Help:Patch_Table]]).

To verify the patch really did update your game and completes the full process, you can verify that all versions in these 3 different areas are identical: Version tag == Launcher's BG icon == BG's [[Game_Help:TS3_Patching_Find_Gameversion#info.plist|info plist]].

* Town Life's retail disc has a base game patch version at 1.23.65.012001, which you can totally skip if you have downloaded the 1.22 SuperPatcher previously and also the 1.24 update to patch base game to 1.24, before installing Town Life Stuff.
+
* Pets's retail disc has a base game patch version at <?>, which you can totally skip if you download the SuperPatcher and update base game to 1.26, before installing Pets.  
* There's still no 1.25 SuperPatcher for OS X, so if you need to reinstall, you need to patch to 1.24/1.25 in 2 stages:
+
*# to 1.22 first with the 1.22 SuperPatcher, then
+
*# to 1.24 with the 1.24-from-1.22 incremental patch for '''OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard''', or
+
*# to 1.25 with the 1.25-from-1.22 incremental patch for '''OSX 10.7.1 Lion'''.
+
* If you had backed up the previous "To-6135-1.22.9.0110xx.tgz" file as recommended below, you can use that instead of redownloading.
+
 
* If you're using Launcher (well, if you're using Launcher, you wouldn't be here, but just in case you guys read this anyway), and it stalls after patching to 1.22, you can Force Quit (Cmd+Alt+Esc) and then let Launcher restarts itself to prompt you that now there is an update to 1.24 available. If it doesn't auto-restart, just start it manually from your Alias.

* Select '''one''', either the Incremental or the SuperPatcher, not '''both'''!
 +
** '''Incrementals''' would only patch from the previous version stated and is Region-specific.
 +
** '''SuperPatcher''' is cumulative update and contain all fixes from 1.2 onwards. And anything goes, ie would work on any previous version, of any Region. If you're the type who reinstalls a lot, I'd recommend just downloading the SuperPatcher.
 +
* There is no Incremental patch for Snow Leopard users who were on 1.24 previously, you would need to download the SuperPatcher.

Current Patch Versions Level 013 (OSX)

  • Patch 1.27.5 - released on Oct 18, 2011.
  • Based on this Changes from SOP starting from 1.22 note, looks like there won't be any separate patches for any packs anymore. So what does this mean? The skuversion.txt of your EPs and SPs would show the last patch you applied to it, or its original retail version. For example, my Generations is at "GameVersion = 8.0.152.011001". But, Launcher will tag on the level numbers so it becomes "8.0.152.013001" in the Launcher screen ("9.0.73.013001" if you have Town Life), to match the base game's level (see Level column in Game Help:Patch_Table).
  • Version.tag would show your true Base Game's gameversion, ie
[Version]
LatestBase = 1.26.89.013001

which would match your Base Game's icon in Launcher when you hover over it and your skuversion.txt file. To verify the patch really did update your game and completes the full process, you can verify that all versions in these 3 different areas are identical: Version tag == Launcher's BG icon == BG's skuversion.txt (info.plist for Mac OS X)

  • Pets's retail disc has a base game patch version at <?>, which you can totally skip if you download the SuperPatcher and update base game to 1.26, before installing Pets.
  • If you're using Launcher (well, if you're using Launcher, you wouldn't be here, but just in case you guys read this anyway), and it stalls after patching to 1.22, you can Force Quit (Cmd+Alt+Esc) and then let Launcher restarts itself to prompt you that now there is an update to 1.24 available. If it doesn't auto-restart, just start it manually from your Alias.
  • Select one, either the Incremental or the SuperPatcher, not both!
    • Incrementals would only patch from the previous version stated and is Region-specific.
    • SuperPatcher is cumulative update and contain all fixes from 1.2 onwards. And anything goes, ie would work on any previous version, of any Region. If you're the type who reinstalls a lot, I'd recommend just downloading the SuperPatcher.
  • There is no Incremental patch for Snow Leopard users who were on 1.24 previously, you would need to download the SuperPatcher.
Warning.gif Read before proceeding!

Publishing the patch links below is by no means an endorsement that the updates are OK. Usual precautions apply, make backups, wait for mods to be updated, play on new user files while waiting for CC/mod updates and so on. There are reported Slot issues with CC, so if you have Contests, Challenges or Projects deadlines of some sort, you might not want to update at this time.

If you do decide to update, make sure you have made a BACKUP first! If you don't, some of your custom content may not work, which means your Saves won't load after you've saved with borked CC, at the next load time! You must also get updates from the creator(s) for any hacks/mods before playing an updated game, unless you are starting a game from scratch, ie new User files.


Warning.gif As recommended time and time again, make sure you have read TS3 Patching:Before You Begin so you know how to backup and what to backup.

EllaMeshTutorial 10.gif Reminder:

Ensure you have done a backup of the game and the patches before patching, as there is no other way to revert to previous patch versions once you have patched up in OSX. Instructions in How to back up a game patch under OS X
