I discovered that same problem today, only by removing the core mod will make the sims 3 work.
EA must have patched the patch...... currently it's version 1.69.42.024017 :

xx

The "new improved" Patch 1.69 released last night/this morning must have a different build number than the "old" Patch 1.69 released in November. This only affects core mods and triggers the version mismatch warning. Until core mods such as XCAS (and NRaas ErrorTrap) are adjusted, the warning will display but it's okay to accept and play through that given the choice. None of these "patches" affect gameplay or mod functionality.

Thanks igazor ! Even though my game refused to start for a multiple times, after your reply I just let the game go and indeed, it works as it should have been. Thank you.

Thanks again, Igazor.

The update of XCAS for patch 1.69.42 is now uploaded. I hope EA is done with this already!

Great! As much as it sounds like we're all having fun with this new series of aggravation, we're really not!

XCAS is conflicting with every slider I have I've had to delete about 50 sliders already and it just keeps going.

My game won't even start and freezes my computer I have to restart it every time.

I have a brand new self-built computer so it's definitely not the mechanics.

Thank you very much Igazor and Cmar for the quick reply. I hope there aren't coming any patches anymore too. unless it's because they want to fix a bug. Because this little update has done something to my game. So i'm not happy.

I need version 1.69.43 T.T

Yes, they did it again! Another update. And again the same message. I know Igazor said that we could ignore the message but i'm affraid to because the patch 1.69 should have been only for the caw tool but something happend in my game with the dating and romantic interactions. My sim could Always get a date or fall in love but now it's fairly impossible. Like the romantic thing is constantly resetting. So i'm scared to bypass the message. Wondering what strange things happen in my game next. .

I always appreciate your work!
But my sims version was updated mistakenly yesterday, so i need version 1.69.43
I know it will bother you, but i hope....

any chance you can upload the old version 1.67? i don't know what ea is doing lately and i honestly don't care, my game is working perfectly for me to download updates and mess it up >.>

The 1.67 version is still available here: http://www.timelinefiction.net/S3XCAS/

Conflicting how? The only thing XCAS does with sliders is to enable the game to use more of them. What makes you think it's conflicting?



Have you done the usual troubleshooting - removing all mods and adding them back one at a time to determine which one is causing the problem?

Updated for 1.69.43. EA, this isn't funny!

Thanks for all the updates!! Hopefully EA will stop their bullying updates..... it's becoming pathetic. xxxx

The thing doesn't work! Once in game the icons appear (sometimes squished together) and the tattoos are placed in the default locations, not the ones added by this mod.

This will happen if you've installed both the Basic and Full core packages. If that's not the case, please post a list of all the packages you installed for this mod and a screenshot of the squished icons.

Thank you very much for updating.

Thank you very much. :D

Thank you so much!!!!!!

Omg,thanks for the update! I was bummed when the eyelashes sliders weren't working! :DD

I doubt someone will answer but is there SkinTonePanel for 1.67?

Second line from the developer on the front page of this mod:
"The 1.38 version of the skintone panel mod is compatible with 1.38 to 1.69.43 and does not need to be updated."

It happens me either
