In Preparation for Into The Future
Into the Future is almost upon us, so time for me to make this post. I do recommend to backup all your stuff, most importantly the DCCache folder and the Saves folder. Most of the things stated here: What to do before patching do still apply. Installing the EP will reset all your Sims so for example not being in a vacation town or at Uni at the time, reduces the changes of game corruption. If you want to be on the safe side, also remove your mods/custom content. Start a new game after the installation. Get a feeling for what’s new. If…

Precautions for University Life
Introduction After a week of doing the Bug Thread at the official Sims 3 forum, I have to say that UL has some major bugs that make the game unplayable for many.

Especially if you have a savegame that you have been playing forever, you should make a backup before installing UL or at least before you go to university for the first…

In Preparation for Seasons
Seasons is almost upon us, so time for me to make this post. Since we got the patch very early this time, there is no need to go through the whole mod ordeal again unless EA gives us another patch which is unclear at this point.

In Preperation for Supernatural
Supernatural is out now. Since we got the patch early there is no need to do the whole Mods thing again. Updated for patch 1.38 means updated for the EP. Backing up your stuff is always a good idea though! The Patch As every Expansion pack, supernatural will come with a patch (why oh why did I not check the game version at the Gamescom ?). The Patch 1.38 is already available for download. Which changes are coming with the patch, is not clear yet but my assumptions are: Population Control Collection Journal More Ingame Store Ads New items in BuyDebug…
