Patching Sims 3
Patches are updates to your game which fix bugs, add new features, and ensure you can use the latest custom content. Unless there are major issues with a specific patch, MTS staff always recommend fully patching your game.
Before You Patch
Before you patch your game, you should:
- Backup your user files: Just in case something goes wrong, you won't lose all your progress.
- Remove any custom hacks, XML tuning mods, script mods, core mods, etc.: These files are usually only compatible with one specific game version and will not work or will cause problems with any other version.
More detailed instructions on pre-patching preparation.
Current Patch
Download and install to update your game to the latest version. You only need to patch the base game, not the expansions too.
