In order to carry out manual patching ie via the direct download files you need to understand how EA has categorized the games and their versions for each patch level. You need to read this mostly once to understand the concept.

Patching via Launcher
Run the launcher. It will pick up the version automatically and you should be able to update it just fine. If the downloads cuts out before completing or you are not prompted to update, check if you had disabled Automatic Updates and also check your EADM program's connection to the Internet and if necessary, uninstall & reinstall EADM.
Also ensure that your Firewall & AntiVirus application(s) do not block the EADM, Launcher programs to run or block access to the thesims3.com site .
If the process is halted or interrupted, check that you're running the latest version of EADM. See TS3_Patching:Common_Errors for some suggestions to fix the most common error messages encountered. Or you can just choose to use the direct download method as outlined below.
Downloading an executable/archived file
Alternatively, if your computer playing Sims 3 does not have internet access, choose one of the following based on:
- what Operating System (i.e. Windows or Mac) you're running,
- what region/language your DVD is and
- what version you had patched it to before.
 Warning:
|
Note that you have to download a separate file for each of the games you have installed, so that the games are all on the same game engine level. See the table in TS3_Patching:Common_Errors for your matching patch levels. |
Downloading for Windows Systems
Remember : you have to download separate files for each of the games/tools that you have installed. Always use current patches, most mods/hacks work on the latest updates only
