So now with the super patch, weddings will work correctly, right?
I can't believe we have to go through this to download a specialized patch. Why isn't this just in the launcher? This is terrible customer service.
And now the game won't save, so I can't turn it off, so I can't install the patch... Of course.

No, the super patch is just all the patches for every region/languages combined. It's for peole that have an invalid file error or are not patched to the patch before the latest one.
So if you're not at 1.39 atm or have an invalid file found/file not found error, you use the superpatch. In all other cases you use the incremental one.
The wedding glitch can't be fixed atm without a mod. Seasons will fix it when it comes out and a future patch should fix it cause one of the Gurus actually said they are aware and fixing (but when this will no-one knows)
And yes, it's something the devs should have found but to me it seems this patch was never tested without the EP installed.
Good Luck

I have been having the same problem over and over with the new patch. It will not download anything for my sims game. Also ever so often I have to reinstall the game. I've not even had the game for 2 weeks. I've tried manally downloading it but it still won't download at all. Anyone have any idea on how to get this sorted?

You don't get the goddies, but you do get all the bugs. EA sucks furiosly. I have spent much time trying to figure out what was wrong with my game only to find out it's not my installation......it's EA's intrusive buggy code. I paid money for this exercise in irritation? I guess that makes me the stupid one.

My suggestion is, yes post your game issues here, but hammer EA with complaints. All these people can do is help with obvious things like outdated driver issues, or specs not up to the game. The best way to get them to fix it fast is to complain, the more complaints they get the more wide spread they know the problems are. I bought Sims 3, Ambitions and Late Night via download, but then I had to keep reinstalling and burning through my install limit, when if their stuff worked better we wouldn't have to keep installing to begin with. So I went and purchased the DVDs. So I'm into Sims 3 by about 175 USD and that doesn't include the loft content and Seasons I just bought the download of...EA needs to do better and we the customers need to push and prod them to do better. We've spent enough on their stuff, we have the right to bug them till they fix the bugs

I've gone through the patch notes, what to do before patching, and the more details bit. I choose the one which was pointed out to me by those pages, which was Region 17. It went through the whole update for patch 1.42 as i wanted, but at the end of it, an error message came up saying that i used the wrong region code?
Based on the info i was given, it was region 17 i needed? I really want to be able to actually play this game, but patch 1.42 will not install!

What is your base game version right now ?
To find out, open your launcher and hover over the little base game icon in the lower left part of the launcher. It should say 1.42.
