The Sims 3 Base Game
And when you want to download off this GameHelp:TS3Patching:PatchDownload wiki, look in the 'Region 2' column, being careful of the '.fromx.x.xx.' bits being the current patch version you have, which should match the version stated in the 'skuversion.txt' file (as what you had just done).

I posted a topic a few weeks back, stating:
I am still missing an update/patch..Ive been trying to solve this problem for a month now...I've uninstalled, reinstalled my game and expansion packs, followed directions from what I've read here in the forums.....I need to find out WHICH update or patch I am missing.....I would really like to play my game but it's annoying when half of my CC, and the other half is Exchange/Store stuff won't show up in my game, and I have to keep installing the downloads everytime I run the launcher.. Can someone please help me? I really hope I don't have to uninstall and reinstall everything again. If I do, EXACTLY HOW should I do the reinstallation so that I catch every patch/update that my game needs?
I am still not getting the help I need to solve my problem, and its been a month now? since Ambitions came out, and I still have not been able to play it since I purchased it the day it was released. there is a patch or download somewhere that I am missing, and I need to find where and which one! can anyone please help me?
Someone Told me to uninstall the game, run a registry cleaner, then reinstall everything....but my QUESTION IS:
ok, but which patches/updates do I install? just the ones that the launcher prompts? there are more that are in between that the launcher doesn't recognize...I think its one of those that I am missing.....If I have to uninstall/reinstall, I don't want to mess up...I am tired of having to do this all the time! lol! I need someone to help me, and answer my questions,...please, please, please!

Ambitions patch here: http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_4.2.32.007001_from_4.0.87.006001.exe
Download and install in that order and let me know your results, please.0 - edited August 2010Thank you, it's working now! You're doing a great job helping everyone.
//Born2B - edited August 2010Aww, thank you! I'm glad I could help-- happy simming!0
- edited August 2010I was wondering if you could help me also...I've had previous problems and ended up having to reinstall everything, but I've only tried reinstalling the base game to see if everything is okay. But I'm getting error with the launcher as well. This is my skuversion.txt.
Base Game: 1.12.70.006002
Although once I have managed to get this working again, I don't know how it will effect it when I install WA again. - edited August 2010I was wondering if you could help me also...I've had previous problems and ended up having to reinstall everything, but I've only tried reinstalling the base game to see if everything is okay.

Your base game is behind on one patch. You can find the one for your region here: http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_1.14.11.007002_from_1.12.70.006002.exe
After fully patching, do a test run of the game so that it can establish itself. I recommend waiting to install any items you have from the store until after you're finished reinstalling all of your expansions and have patched them to their complete versions.0 - edited August 2010Ah, thank you. Is there any updates I need for the EA Download Manager, as I have reinstalled that as well?

Opening the EADM itself it should automatically pop up something if there is a more recent version. Alternatively, you can open up the EADM and click the green text that says 'Download Manager' (right next to the EA icon in the top-left corner), and it will show you the version number. Currently the EADM version should be 6.0.4.124. I don't know for 100% that the numbers will all match, but if it's says at least 6.0.4 you should be fine. (I just reinstalled it to verify and that's what my version was before and after.)0 - edited August 2010Okay, thank you For some reason when I try to load Sims 3 it still comes up with an error :S
- edited August 2010Have you tried running the game directly instead of through the launcher? You should find the .exe file to do so here:
C:Program FilesElectronic ArtsThe Sims 3GameBinTS3.exe
I know that it doesn't fix the launcher trouble, but it's a start.0 - edited August 2010Running the game directly didn't work for me
but here's my skuversion.txt

High-End Loft Stuff:

Your base game, WA, and HELS are all behind on their patches. According toe SimGuruBrent, the patches are designed so that only the base game and the latest expansion actually need to be up to date, however I will still link the appropriate patches in the event you'd still like to update those. If you choose to update them, make sure they are in the following order.
Base Game (You need):http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_1.14.11.007001_from_1.12.70.006001.exe
World Adventures (recommended but optional): http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/TS3EP01_2.9.10.007001_Update.exe
High-End Loft Stuff (recommended but optional): http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_3.5.8.007001_from_3.3.11.006001.exe
Save them to your desktop and double click to install (in that order). Please let me know your results.0 - edited August 2010It said it was unable to start game:
Service initialization failed (0x0175dcbb)
Sorry to make you go to so much effort, but I do appreciate the help you're giving me - edited August 2010AH! it worked! thank you sooooooooo much! this has made my day
