Latest Patch/Update problems
« on: December 20, 2009, 09:40:17 PM »
Since you all started talking about the latest game patch (2.2) for WA, I have been following along until a few days ago when I finally decided it was time to add it to my game.  First off I went to my game launcher and tried to update/patch from there.  No go as now it is once again saying that I am not connected to the internet.  So.....I head off to the official site to get the update/patch.  For the life of me, I can't find a button to click to even begin the download process.  At this time, I was pretty frustrated by the experience so I decided to contact EA and have them help me.  I explained the process that I had gone through so far and they gave me a page to use to figure out the problem.  I looked at it and then replied to them that none of it applied to me and my problem.  So they suggested I use Mozilla/Firefox to connect to the internet and that should work and if it did not, to delete my game and then re-install.  Connecting through Firefox did not work, so I followed the directions to the T, that they had given me for the uninstall and ended up losing all my saved games and content from the store.  I re-installed the game and still no option to get this darn Patch/Update. 

Does anyone have any other suggestions for me?  I am about to un-install everything and start from scratch but do not want to lose the one saved game I have at this time.

Have you checked any of the game review or patch sites? I found all the previous patches available to download on Gamespot and I'm pretty sure there are other independent sites out there with them.  Alternatively you could try an internet search for it and see what you get. Hopefully there's been time for the 1.8/2.3 patch to make it through to these sites.

Before you uninstall again, find your save games in Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3>Saves and cc in the Downloads folder in same place and copy the 2 folders to desktop or somewhere safe. That way you can get all your stuff back after a re-install.

Good luck
