OK, so EADM seems to have issues of identifying the difference between a Gigabyte and a Megabyte! Leaving me in a struggle to get the patch down.

So i decided to check the EA Sims 3 website to see if there is a manual download…

Sadly not! Plenty of news telling you about it, but nothing in the way of actually getting hold of it!

And while were on that subject here’s the proposed changes of the patch…

Addresses some issues with Speed 2 and 3 moving too slowly. Some machines will have better results when using Speed 2 and 3 now.

Fix to story progression on/off selection toggle.

Fix for a possible crash with audio code.

Fix for babysitter routing off lots with babies.

Addresses some issues with Vsync and refresh rate problems.

Addresses some issues with DVD authentication errors and drive compatibility on startup.

This update deals with some issues on Mac systems that can crash the game while connecting to AFP servers.

Fix for a freeze that can occur when Sims attempt to clean out bad food from the fridge.

Nothing about the saving issues naturally? But time will tell of course.

What i did manage to do was use my head and after about 12seconds using Google there are plenty of places that you can get hole of the 1.2.7 patch.

I used the following…

Downloads a small .exe file. Run it and the updater should appear and away you go!
