I started a new game and everything works just fine, its just that my old savegames will not load. Game just says "critical error when loading riverview" and goes back to the main menu. If I start a completely new game, everything works just fine.

I don't wanna start a new game.



It has to. Otherwise the package would say: Internet connection required. But you bought an offline Game.

nicky, thanks...just making sure.

That may be my problem. I will try it. Glad I could let others know that you can use the Ambitions folder.

Thanks for the info!

ok that clears somethings up, heh I saw a lot of people say that sliders dont work yet but havent tried to load any of my old saves.

@~Dee~
yes the patch is on the disk.

The internet connection is only needed, if you want to register your game to get the bonus objects for registering. See http://store.thesims3.com/setsProdu...=OFB-SIM3:21267

I cannot edit the resource.cfg file. I have a new folder named packages in my C:\Documents and Settings\name\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods. I have the resource.cfg in mods and all my cc with little helper monkey faces inside the packages folder. I do not have all my cc in the game. I am missing cc all over the place including in CAS. Can anyone tell me what I need to do?

to edit the resource.cfg, simply open it in Notepad++ if you have it, or just change the extension (.cfg) to (.txt) and then it should open in notepad, wordpad, word, or any other text editor. Once you make the necessary changes, save, then change the extension back.

Just thought i would let people know, I FINALLY got my mods to show up, however I'm not getting any notice that they're there (at least not that I've seen) but I'm using the new mods folder, with the packages and edited .cfg inside, and the mods in the package folder. Delphy's Brest sliders are working, as are Jonha's but/hip/waist sliders. and this is with update 4.0

EDIT: just loaded again after deleting the mods in the old folders, and loaded an old game and many of my mods disapeared.

SECOND EDIT: figured out which objects wernt' showing up, it was all of the items from my DCCache in my my doccuments folder, so placed them in the new DCCache folder in the mods file and they all showed back up.

I need help. I moved the stuff from the program files into my document, but none pf the packages are there :S i dont know what to do with the resource thingy..does jonha sliders work? Can someone guide me please..Im not too good with "machine talk"

THANK YOU !!!! It worked and I was even able to help my roomate thank you sooo much :lovestruc

If you're having trouble/need help with the patch

Please make a new thread of your own in the Help section. We can better help you there and sort out what are actual issues with the patch vs. what are issues due to outdated custom content/other problems with user files. This assists in bug tracking.

General discussion of the patch ("Yay I'm so glad about all these new features" or "Bah these new features suck") is fine here but if you have technical questions, issues, problems, or bugs, please post in Help.

Thanks!

Somehow, mine doesn't work. I've done the steps but it doesn't shows any notification. Please help, granthes

hi sorry i am new to all this and installing mods.
i moved all my mods ect to the new location but i cannot use monkey bars to install framework to add anymore content as wont change file location to new location.

do i just keep moving the files after instalation to new location for now?

I want to update and get the expansion yet I don't feel like re downloading certain mods D:

Where can I find a resource.cfg? I'm confused. Sorry.

*Edit: PLUS, when I already have the Mods folder in Documents, can I already remove the Framework or something?

ugh, I get the 'your sims 3 base game is incompatible with your current sims 3 expansion pack. Please update your game via the game launcher.' error. Of course, I can't update through the game launcher, so I don't know. I think I'll just wait until tomorrow when the game is released here and see if installing Ambitions fixes the problem. gahhh.

EDIT: So I just decided to uninstall and reinstall world adventures and redownload the patch. All appears to be going well. I think, that either it was because I left the CC in the folder, or that I prematurely started the game before the patching had properly finished.

you have to alter the resource.cfg file like granthes said to get all the mods to work..i works perfect,well not the core mods tho

You can find the proper Resource.cfg file here,
http://simpedia.sims2cri.com/index....esource.cfg_eng

I left out all serious mods I only have clothes, hair and furniture. When I tried to install your launcher it said I need to install .NET version 4.0.30319.

I have the changed rescourse.cfg in my new Mods folder,which is in My documents/Electronic Arts/Sims 3. I created the two folders Packages and DCCache. I get no message of having any conflicting cutom content (which makes sense because the game obviously isn't reading any of my mods).

Any further help ideas? Thanks

marvel20: Has anybody tested with more than 4 subfolders? Becuase, as I recall the game only used to support 4 levels down.

i don't understand...

pls tell me how 2 change...

Delphy (big fan by the way) I have 16 sub-folders in my new packages file, and it all seems to be working but I haven't properly checked it out, because I'm still reinstalling my sims3pack stuff.

Marvel: I mean 16 folders deep, as in Stuff\Stuff\Stuff\Stuff\Stuff\Stuff\Stuff\Stuff\Stuff\Stuff\Stuff\Stuff\Stuff\Stuff\Stuff\Stuff\

Honestly though, anything more than 6 is a bit overkill
