@crinrict- nevermind I restarted my computer and the update is there, but I have the same problem as everyone else now (the invalid file). And no the UL icon is not there.
1. Were you able to patch?
No, invalid file error (Dutch game version) 2. What expansions/stuff packs do you own?
I own all EP and SP's except for Katy Perry Sweet Treats, Diesel and 70's, 80's &
90's. 3. What Patch level were you at before patching?
1.48 (latest one before this one, no problems before)
I was not able to patch, I have all EPs and Stuff packs, I was up to date on the patch.
I am glad to know that I am not the only one. I try deleting and uninstalling my cc but that didn't work. I uninstalled all the games and is currently in the process of reinstalling them, I know its going to be a long process, if it works I will let ya'll know. it may take me until tomorrow. once the base game is reinstalled I will let ya'll know if the update works. I will be upset that I wasted my time and loosing my games and cc if its an EA issue and not on my end.
Added a new question about your game region/country and if you have digital download or dvd
And to answer my own questions:
- Were you able to patch ? YES
- What expansions/stuff packs do you own ? Currently only base game and 70ies installed
- What Patch level were you at before patching ? 1.48
- What is your Region (last two digits of the base game version number). Country will also do and if you have DVD or digital download ? Base game is region 2 (Europe), 70ies stuff pack is Region 17 (download version)
Most people are getting an invalid file error with this patch.
EA is aware of the issue and looking into it.
Meanwhile, let's try to find out which file is giving the error (don't know if the mts tool that used to help with that still works)
- Were you able to patch ?
- What expansions/stuff packs do you own ?
- What Patch level were you at before patching ?

I was unable to patch (1.50) for the first time ever. I own all expansions/stuff packs and have nothing downloaded from the exchange. My last patch was 1.48 which was the most recent. I have disabled automatic update until problem is fixed, please let me know when its safe to download 1.50 patch. Thankyou United States, Ohio
- What expansions/stuff packs do you own ? All except for Katy Perry's Sweet Treats
- What Patch level were you at before patching ? 1.48
- What is your Region USA
I have to say that I can't really help. EA needs to fix it but I'm hoping the info here can help them figure out what's wrong.
For most people, the super patch works well. It's an official EA patch the only difference is that it doesn't care about the current state your game is in while the launcher offered one does.
If you are at a lower patch level then probably 1.42, you'll get the super patch offered through the launcher. They don't have incremental ones for every patch level. So there's nothing bad about it. You're just manually downloading and manually executing the file which the launcher would normally do for you.

Kael has Late Night and Generations and posted that she was able to patch; I think we've pretty much ruled out the EPs and SPs at this point.
Okay must've missed it.
