Bug FAQ
I get an "Invalid File Error" error while installing an update!
In most cases, this error is generated due to the fact that one of the so-called internal, main game files ("core") was changed by installing the mod or by yourself manually. Here are the main "core" files:
Ini files (mostly files of this type change mods for weather and lighting, hacks) - the Mods folder must be removed from the game before updating, all mods that were installed in other places specified by the authors should also be removed!
Custom music - remove all the music you added to the game
EXE files (cracks) - if you have a copy of the license and you cracked it in any way (be it NoCD From twallan or crack exe) - there should not be any cracks in the game at the time of the update! If you replaced exe-files for quacking, return the original ones!
After replacing the erroneous files, delete the rtpatch.log file in the temporary files folder of your computer
Who is having trouble finding this folder:
* Type in the address bar of the explorer "% temp%", NO QUOTES !!!

"The installer has detected that a version of The Sims 3 World Adventures (The Sims 3; The Sims 3 Careers, etc.) is installed. A previous version of the app must be installed to perform this update."
An error occurs if you have a pirated version of the game installed (repack, various “ready-made” 3-in-1 collections, etc.), such a game does not have all the necessary keys in the registry and, accordingly, cannot be updated through the launcher or by separate downloaded patches.

1. Right-click on the game for which you want to install the update. Select Properties.
2. In the properties, go to the updates section and make sure you have automatic game updates selected and background downloads are allowed.
3. Now go to the client settings by selecting the "Settings" item in the drop-down menu in the upper left corner.
4. In the "Downloads" item, set your region, if it is different. If the region is set correctly, we change it to a random one, restart the client, then return to the desired one, for example, Russia and also restart the client.
What caused the update to stop working? Many users actively interact with the same trading platform through the client, not a web browser, they watch broadcasts, change the language to English. and much more, due to which some of the parameters may get lost. As a result of this, various problems with Steam arise.
We hope we could help you and you won't have any more problems!
