Issue with Launcher, Updating / Patching, and Launching The Game?
Hey all,
So last night I had made the mistake of using the manual patcher for the game
after going nearly a year without updating / patching the game, simply because
I don't trust the buggy updates and I don't feel like having to replace all the mods
that require a certain patch to work. But since I started my new simblr, I needed
certain things in my game that required me to know what patch version I had,
so instead of just finding the version, I figured I would update using the manual
patcher since I don't use the launcher either, since anytime I would try to install
sims3packs through the launcher, it would just freeze or say there was an unexpected
error. But after using the manual patcher a few times to make sure it was the latest
update, I went to start the game and it said that the base game was incompatible
with the expansion pack, the latest being University. Simple enough, I thought,
then I changed the info.plist file to have the launcher come up, and it gave me the
same popup about the compatibility.
But when I went to Update, it said the game was fully patched and updated, not
giving me the option to update. I closed and reopened the launcher probably 15
times, restarted my laptop ( 2011 Macbook with 10.7 Lion ), and it still says the
same exact thing, and I still can't start my game.
Of course my next instinct would've been to reinstall University, but then I remembered,
my Macbook's hard drive is broken, and I can not install anything on the hard drive
until it is fixed, but I can uninstall things, I just won't be able to get them back
on there.
So on a scale from 1 to Courtney Love, how screwed am I?
Lol. Let me know if I need to add any other details to hopefully get a suggestion!
Thanks in advance, guys. xx
