    My first attempt at the super patch did not work. I got the CRC error that someone else mentioned before. I just tried it again and now my launcher says it's up to date. I didn't see a option to save the file to the desktop like mcrudd said to do in their link. I just clicked on the file it and let it download. Then I clicked on open and it installed with no problems this time.

    ok ill try updating

    UPDATE ok i too rec'd the error at the last moment stopping the download

    ill try to play around and see if i can get it to work

    At current, it seems to be a case of the patch trying to update a file that doesn't actually exist. It seems someone typoed the patch.
    It's trying to update from 1.48 to 1.50, which shows a gap in the updates for some reason.
    Mine won't update either, same problem, missing file.
    :roll:
    UPDATE: Cumulative patch worked for me.

    I'm downloading the super patch now, as I've also gotten the Invalid File error, despit removing the entire Mods folder. It's ridiculous that we have to resort to this though. Once again, if EA tested their patches before releasing them to the public, this wouldn't even be an issue. Absolutely pathetic.

    Oh, and the time it's going to take to download this thing just keeps going up. It started at like 10 minutes and has since doubled in estimated download time. There is no excuse for this. An official patch should work right the first time!

    I think I will wait until EA patches this patch - don't know who wrote the 'superpatch' and don't want to screw up my game as it works w/o the new patch.

    Yeah I'll just wait until they fix it. We get some new items and the ability to dumpster dive with this patch but that's not life-threatening. I'll use the super patch on my non-main computer but will wait for EA to fix this patch before getting it on my laptop. Besides, the mods I have now work with the last patch, not the new one, so at least I can still use those.

    EDIT: Just got done downloading the super patch...20 minutes it took only to give me the error saying "This file is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer." Yeah, that sounds safe...Wonderful.

    In typical EA fashion, the patch fails and now we wait on a patch to patch the patch! The superpatch doesn't even work for me & yes, I completely removed ALL my mods, the entire mod folder. I'm getting really sick of all the problems with this game! It's supposed to be FUN but constant bugs & updates that need updates to even get them installed is ridiculous! :x :x

    Doesn't seem like it affected my game in a negative way at all.
    It did reset the settings I had for the seasons for this particular game which is a little annoying but otherwise things seem to be ok.
    Noticed that there is a new option (one of many I'm sure) to set the ownership for the beds. cool. And has a cute colorful maxis splash in the beginning.

    The super patch is being offered by EA/Origin. It's an "official" EA Download.
    here's the link. make sure you click the link for the 1.50.56 patch if you try it.

    The way me an my gf did the patch was click the link provide make sure it is Super patch-(all regions) amount of dwnload space is 1.2GB. after about 30-40min (depends on your internet speed) start up your sims, click on the super patch once in your downloads and it should start to update your sims game (this will take a while) once its done if you have Error Trap mod you might need to remove it, any other mods will work fine. i have downloaded Super Patch and for me its working better then the sims ever worked for me! everything is running smooth just try once again and dont give up if you really want to play the sims on patch 1.50 well hopefully this has helped someone who reads it.

    I'm getting the same thing, tried installing it this morning/afternoon then this evening and still no go...
    I really don't want to hear I'll have to uninstall everything then re-install so it will work :(

    at least this time, I don't have any mods so, there shouldn't be any issues. :cry:


    Edit: trying the super patch now, crossing my fingers!
