Patching Sims 3

Before You Patch

Before you patch your game, you should:

• Backup your user files: Just in case something goes wrong, you won't lose all your progress.

• Remove any custom hacks, XML tuning mods, script mods, core mods, etc.: These files are usually only compatible with one specific game version and will not work or will cause problems with any other version.
