If I've got World Adventures installed, do I just need the WA2.4 patch/crack or do I need the S31.9 one too?


Oh and I can't find "The.Sims.3.World.Adventures.Update.2.4-ViTALiTY" anywhere. In fact, the ONLY place it's listed anywhere is in the NFO for High End Loft Stuff :\

damnnit.....so i got my wife the loft expansion (she owns legit copies of sims 3 and the world adventures)

I overwrote the exe with the crack, even though it is a mac, and it gives me the whole "cannot detect disk" error......

Now I've got to learn how to fuck with Macs, or have her reinstall everything......FUCK.

The Loft Stuff expansion will only work for me with the fixed exe and the image mounted. Not sure if that will work on the Mac though.

The first and second time we tried, we still had the image mounted with the cracked exe in place.....

It could be the emulation options (us PC users have) with DT for example....

I am using Toast to emulate images on her Mac.....

Anyone have a suggestion for a better emulator?

Thanks in advance!!!!!

I'm using Alcohol 52% without any emulation. Not sure what the issue is, all I know is that the game doesn't work without the crack and with the image mounted and it doesn't work with the crack and without the image mounted, it only seems to work for me with both the image and the crack. That being the case, I doubt emulation is the solution.

Hey guys and gals,

Found this on another site and thought i would repackage the info for you all.

Installers.rar contains monkey bars as well as ts3installhelper.
Items by month contains all the items packed into a .package file and shrunk down

Run monkey bars. This will set up the directory's in your sims folder.
use ts3installhelper to install the .package files into the proper directory.

Code:
http://www.megaupload.com/?f=Y0KI7ESJ


*Note Ts3install helper allows you to double click on the .package files and they will put auto placed in the right directory..

*Also this will allow you to fully patch the game and use the DLC content...enjoy

I can't find any mini images there so ViTALiTY cracks really no-dvd ones?

I can't install any of 3 latest updates without getting error message at the end of the installation. I red .nfo file but I still don't get it why I get these errors.

I have installed all "official" addons and maybe I should just reinstall the whole shit because I think I tried everything but update installation is not working. High End Loft Stuff is asking for a disc even I have copied ViTALiTY's cracks.


ps. I have tried to mount The Sims 3 Razor1911 image with Virtual CloneDrive but it doesn't help. Sad

Use the original files, start the launcher and it'll download the appropriate versions of the patch, rename TSLHost.dll and the game EXE (For both loft, world adventure and original game.) and copy over the cracked files and it should work just fine. Smile

Also it doesn't seem to matter which EXE you start the game with as it'll still launch the latest version/expansion but with the other data loaded. Smile

The patch patches files instead of overwriting them, could cause issues if you use cracked replacements of tslhost.dll or the game exe. Smile

I copied TSLhosts.dll from Sims 3 image to the Game/Bin and I still get the same error when I try to install The Sims 3 patch. Sad

Check your appdata\local\temp directory (assuming Vista/7), do a search for rtpatch.log, open with notepad, scroll to the bottom and it will tell you which file, if any, caused the update to fail. Replace if necessary.

If all else fails backup your cc and save dir and uninstall all of them. Install Sims3, then WA (letting it update Sims3) then install HELS (again letting it update Sims3) then install the patches in order, Sims3, WA then HELS. Copy the fixed exe and dll to the HELS \bin\ and play. No need to crack the others unless you're going to use the Create A World tool, which is a buggy piece of shit anyway so don't bother imo.

Decided to reinstall this one and I want to know what's the latest setup I need to get. Any help would be much appreciated.

So far I got the base game, World adventures, Loft stuff, and found a jan.8. store update. Is that the latest?

Also, what's the deal with the patch issues? The old fixed-image was really convinient, but I heard that it's not working any more. Any info on that? Tried to make sense of what was written here, but it's a bit too scattered to piece it together.

A page back or so is a megaupload link with most of the DLC up to Feb. 2010 plus instructions on how to use them, as for install it's base game and the two others (In any directory you want, they're kinda separate although use resources from one another or how to describe it.) then just a page or two back and you should see the latest cracked version, I think you can run the launcher directly and patch up all the way to the latest version though as I think it's cracked and there haven't been any updates to the game since. Smile

Thanks mate. Only looked two pages back but searching 'megaupload' found it. Smile

EDIT: seem to be working. As far as I can tell, got the DLC stuffs, and the crack from GCW is working perfectly. Although I have to check if really all the DLCs are there, including the Dr.Pepper DLC car. That Belair looks wicked.

I installed the 1.10.6 patch and used some repack vitality crack for that patch. It starts the game, goes to the loading screen and game 'crashes' to desktop with no error messages.

Is it just me, or did they really add precise rotation and palcement somewhere along the way? Now if I hold alt, I can rotate objetcs 360° and not just every 45°, and also can place objects anywhere, not just along the grid. Wall mounts seem to be still stuck on the grid, but floor objects are free to go where ever I want.

"Ambitions" addon announced.
I bet the old jobs will still be using the 'invisible in building' method and only this select few new jobs will feature this new active approach. Oh well, better than nothing I guess.

So far these two expansions seem pretty flat. WA was just a collection of simplistic puzzle games. Only one sim was worth bringing to vacation spots, since other than exploring tombs, there was absolutely nothing to do (well, maybe fishing and collecting new objects, but that's hardly a holiday activity). In S2, I saw other family memebers make their own little initiatives during vacations, like sunbathing, looking for shells on the beach, building sand castles, etc. In S3 the best thing they can do is idle around the vacation home while the controlled sim does the adventures around towns. Collecting the varied relics was fun, but still...

This new expansion seems a one-sim game again. I doubt one would be willing to oversee more than one of these active-jobs. If they fail to automate things, I can see people still assigning auto-jobs to the rest of the family and only getting one of the new jobs for the "main-sim".

Well...at least there is actual gameplay behind them. Combining the new player controled activities with the old free-will gameplay would be the best way to go.

I've not been able to get the DLC solution posted above working. Game, Expansion and Stuff Pack all work fine, and fully patched to latest versions (1.10/2.5/3.1). Works fine with mini-image, crack(s) seems un-neccessary. None of the DLC content showing up in the main game (its not supposed to show in the launcher). Have double checked installation. Either there is a specific order (I did DLC last) or the very latest patches are a no-go, unless the cracks impact on the DLC issue?

Works for me. Installed base/WA/Stuff-pack, that monkey bar thingy and used that framework thingamajig (comes with the packages) to see if things are ready for the DLCs (had to use it to update). Once it checked everything out, and the DLCs were in place, everything showed up where they should have.
