Hi I have The Sims 3 updated to version 6.5.1.011031 and the launcher lists my game as "up to date." However, when attempting to run Late Night, it tells me that there is a compatibility issue and that I need to update the base game. This is a clean install from the retail copies. Could someone direct me to a thread that details how to fix this issue? Thank you in advance.

@89q1ijzwkrze Run the Super Patch to manually patch your game to 1.67, and then Late Night should install fine. It might still want to update itself—LN came with a separate small patch, unlike later packs—but that's not a problem, and the launcher should handle that.
The link you want is directly under "Cumulative Base Game 1.67 Super Patcher," and it's a direct download link to EA servers.

Rflong is one of the most popular world creators in Sims 3, and she's still active. As far as I know, none of her worlds use custom content, although you can add some on your own if you want.
