    Ambitions Update Stuck at Verifying in Sims 3

    I hold the Sims 3 base event, Sims 3 World Adventures and Sims 3 Ambitions introduced on my Mac running Leopard. I ran the updater the previous evening to overhaul the amusement, but clearly it moved toward getting botched with a failure inform and the amusement wouldn't pursued that. The symbol on the Dock could keep popping up on the dock and afterward vanishing (i.e. it continued opening and shutting the project without running the game/launcher successfully). Uninstalling and reinstalling Sims 3 Ambitions apart from everyone else didn't settle the diversion so I had to uninstall and reinstall all items, down to the base amusement (I lost my safeguarded event in the technique ) Just a FYI, I introduced the base game, then globe enterprises, then yearnings. I've other side the updater running for 2 hours now and the bar hasn't moved an inch. Strangely enough the "tgUpdateMulti" updater modified as it is courted the dock is not unresponsive. (When I right click the symbol it shows "Quit" as opposed to "Force Quit (Application not reacting)", which denotes the modified is responsive! Anyway the bar doesn't advancement.

    A new patch has been released to fix a problem that prevented users download digital adequately update their game. Automatically install this patch through The Sims 3 launcher; you no longer need to use the solutions manual below. If you have already downloaded the manual patches and remedy the problem, install the new patch via the launcher to update the game to the latest version. After downloading the patch, double click and extract the file. The patch will ask you where you want the patch applied and you have to point to the Sims 3 base game app.

    To begin with, stop out of the staid instatement of the overhaul. Then click on the connection to download. It takes an extended chance to download-over a hour. Following it downloads, twofold click and unzip it. My Mac did this mechanically. Then you twofold-click on the recently unzipped plum weave, and it concoct a crate of where to connect it. Head over to Applications>The Sims 3> then click on the BASE event. Notwithstanding it took a few moments to fix. Then I began my diversion and hit no when provoked to redesign Ambitions and scratch off for the second arouse. I clicked on amusement redesigns then after that I did download the redesign for aspirations, which worked fine. At last I united in my recovered documents from before uninstalling. And then it is working fine.

    I was envious of this "why use the pitcher?" things as a Mac user, so I ran around in the directories until you find what controls how cedega / crossover starts. That is very easy to change. Locate the executable - probably / (HDD) / Applications / The Sims 3. Right click it and select "Show Package Contents". Open the "content" directory if not already. You will see a file called info. List. Open to drag it to edit the text. Do not move in that directory! You may want to have a backup first. Go to the line after this: CedegaGameName. Change the last part to read TS3.exe S3Launcher.exe place. Be careful not to disturb the rest of the file or mess with the line endings. XML is an extra performance does not matter ... but you never know. Save and exit text editing.

    This particular bug is Mac just. PCs wouldn't be able to DL the patch to any detectable degree so wouldn't be able to commission the event. They can now. We might DL the patch, but it was a regretful fix. I haven't attempted update the code to begin from the event itself rather than the launcher with the intention that would work. In the event that it was an unfavorable fix it would not be able to work anyway however. Notwithstanding no doubt, you think following every last trace of the various times they have spoiled things for Mac they could verify it was working. Basically a nonstop combat when it approaches playing on a Mac.

    Re: Ambitions Update Stuck at Verifying in Sims 3

    I tried the work around for the people who installed the game and the original patch to just override the launcher and it still doesn't work. It just makes my Sims game open to the main screen and close over and over until I restart my comp, so that's not an available work around. May not be accurate, but passing it on. I had to uninstall every expansion pack/stuff pack to get the base game to load, and it worked for me but it says there aren't any game updates. Does anyone know what the updated version is? Mine says its 1.19.44.0100417. To uninstall the Sims is simple just go to where ever your Sims folder is (mine is in documents) and click on uninstaller and you have to uninstall every game.

    I actually enabled this and it works similar to an application; something worth saying, however, is that the game still attempts to telephone home so turning off your web union or having a system such as Little Snitch is still fitting. Maybe this was conspicuous to others, but I did not anticipate the game to telephone home following bypassing the launcher, thus I thought I could say it here.
