Maybe it helps if you just (properly) remove/uninstall the basegame, and re-install with the 1.67 patch. I'm planning on downgrading to 1.67 through various methods that I've found, to see which one works for me, but for now I've been playing The Sims 2. For now, I've had no problems running the 1.69 version with G4TW's Expansion Packs, they work as usual, but I can't use those Mods mentioned earlier, and I'm sure there are a lot of others that I haven't noticed. The 1.69 messes up with a lot of these mods, like Master Controller and Story Progression, and with the Awesomemod from Pescado at MATY. It's known that Modders like Twallan have already retired from modding The Sims, leaving their very useful mods updated to the (thought) last patch, 1.67. And it's not just an annoyance for people with pirated EPs/SPs, but also for anyone that had any kind of Hack/Mod or Custom Content in their game. I have it, as I have the base game + Nightlife + High End Loft Stuff on Origin, and it adds absolutely nothing of importance. SeoY wrote:Good idea regarding that update.
