Patch 1.48
« on: January 22, 2013, 12:04:13 PM »

There is a new patch.  Doesn't look like much, but thought I would post it.

Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?

I've just tried again, and I keep getting the 1.47 page.  Strange indeed!  I wonder why.

I got the right page! The only items mentioned are
a) fixing translation issues for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language versions of Supernatural and Seasons.
b) fixing the new radio stations that come from the new stuff pack.

Sounds like it should have minimal impact for most of us, and yet I'm still almost terrified to ask what they broke this time...

Wonder why some are getting the right page and some are not.  It is strange.

When I opened my game, it asked if I wanted the update. I clicked yes and it did it correctly.

Same here.  I still can't access the page that is supposed to tell us what the patch does, but it installed successfully.  I sure wish I knew why that link takes some people to patch 1.47 and other people get the patch 1.48 page!

It's an insidious plot by EA to make you stay up at night wondering, "WHY?!"


  ;D

Patch 1.48 is very nice to Mod Creators - pretty much no XML Tuning Mods need to be updated. (Note however, some do, so it's always best to find out from the creator)

Game update to 1.48
« Reply #11 on: January 23, 2013, 12:42:30 PM »
Is this all that is being updated?  I am happy for those who have the langauge and music problems, but that is all?  Nothing about the journal, the gardening, or any other problems. 
****************************************************
Game update 1.48

POSTED ON 01/22/13 03:30 PM


 
To install this update, please start your game and use the “Updates” tab in your Launcher.

This game update includes the following changes:
 

•Fixed an issue with Korean, Japanese, and Chinese languages where English text was appearing for The Sims 3 Supernatural and The Sims 3 Seasons.
 •Fixed an issue where audio for the new radio stations in The Sims 3 70s, 80s & 90s Stuff was not working properly.
 
 
 
Before installing an Update for The Sims 3, an Expansion Pack, or a Stuff Pack, it is a good idea to run through the following checklist to ensure your game continues to work smoothly.
If you have any questions about the below steps, please visit the Technical Support forum on the official Sims 3 community found at this URL: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/forums/show/10.page

Step 1: Disable Custom Content
Custom Content is all Sims content that did not come from an official The Sims 3 Update, The Sims 3 Store, Expansion Pack, or Stuff Pack. Custom Content is created by 3rd Party Developers that are not regulated by Electronic Arts or The Sims 3 Development Team and may not work with new updates. Custom Content may cause the game to behave unexpectedly or not function entirely.
To disable your custom content, undo whatever you did to install this content to get your game back into an unmodified state. If you placed it in a Sims 3 directory folder, move it to a new folder that is outside your Sims 3 file directory. Your Sims 3 file directory can be found using the paths listed below:
Windows File Directory: C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3
Mac File Directory: User/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims/
Once you have installed the official update you may re-enable your custom content. If you experience problems, disable it again until the 3rd party developer updates their content to work with the official Update, Expansion Pack, or Stuff Pack.

Step 2: Back Up your Save Files
It’s always a good precaution to back up your save files before installing an Expansion Pack, Update, or Stuff Pack. To do this, copy the “.sims3” folders found in the Saves folder onto your desktop or another file directory.
Your Sims 3 Saves folder can be found using the paths listed below:
Windows File Directory: C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves
Mac File Directory: User/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims/Saves
After the Update is installed, run the game to verify your saves still function correctly.

Step 3: Let the Update Complete Entirely
Updates can sometimes be rather large and may take a while to download and install completely. Cancelling the update before it has completed may cause unexpected problems, so it is always best to let it finish entirely. Do not close the Launcher until you have confirmed the update is completely installed, as this will cancel the update.

So, to be clear:  We have to install this patch before TheSims3 70s, 80s, & 90s Stuff to not have any 'bad surprises' in-game ?!?

I think the stuff pack installer will automatically ask you to update if you haven't. This might be the first patch I've ever seen mention fixing a problem with the product it's being released in conjunction with, though!

It was very very kind to Twallen this time. Nothing to do but change the numbers on his mods. LOL
