Cannot patch Sims 3
Hey everyone.
So recently, I've been having a lot of troubles with getting Sims 3 to patch. I install it via Origin, and it installs fine, but I notice that the installed version is 1.0.631. Which is.. okay. So I use the superpatcher to install? 'We've detected that 1.67 is already installed on your system.' Excuse my French, but bull. I removed *every* trace of this game with CCleaner AND Your Unin-stalled Pro. I manually edited the registry, etc. And nothing, *nothing* I do seems to fix this problem.
Oh, sure, I can patch it. But when I launch it? Version 0.0.0.0
What have I done?
- Uninstall/Reboot/Reinstall
- Manually remove traces
- Use third-party software to remove traces.
This is terrible. And no, I can't
backup this hunk of crud. I despise Windows 8 SO much.
Thanks to those who are willing to provide any assistance!
Addendum: The same error occurs regardless of whether or not I use the SuperPatch or the EA Patcher.
Addendum II: Yes, the Origin software has been updated, I reinstalled that as well.
