(You can see the rest at the bottom of the full news page – click “Read more” if you’re not already there)

As usual, they recommend you follow their “check-list” before updating, which you can find by clicking below and finding the post called “Game Update for: 1.11/2.6/3.2″ – remember that the file directory in Windows Vista and Windows 7 is, by default, C:\Users\USER\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 (the directory they specify only applies to Windows XP):

You can get the update by going to the Game Updates tab in your game launcher, if you’re not prompted to update automatically.

If after updating you get some sort of “code version is incompatible” error, SimGuruHydra has got you covered – scroll to the bottom of the full news page for the details.

There’s also a small update for the Create a World Tool, bringing it to version 1.6 (still beta):

Create a World – Updating compatibility version of Create a World Tool – Beta to be compatible with The Sims 3 to ensure it continues to function with in-game features and the Exchange.

You can apparently get that through the game launcher too.

EA has released another game update for The Sims 3, which fixes some issues probably caused by the last one:

• Fixes issues with the Input Method Editor for players on the Japanese SKU. Also addresses some functionality errors in the launcher.
• Fixes a bug that prevents collectible Beetles from showing up in game.
• Fixes a bug that causes Sims to teleport off of some of the new beds in SP01.
• Fixes crashes and stalls when multiple patches are being installed.

They recommend you go through the “checklist” in the news post before installing, so lets hope you hadn’t got automatic updates enabled and already agreed to download it!

EA has released another game update for The Sims 3:

To install this update, please start your game and use the “[Game] Updates” tab in your Launcher.

This game update includes:

• High-End Loft Stuff – This update is required to play the digital download version of The Sims 3 High-End Loft Stuff.
• World Adventures – Users can now capture the Town Theatre subject in photography
• A change was made so that desks do not burn anymore.
• Mac only: Fixed an error with uploading screenshots from the Mac when the “.jpg” file extension is deleted.
• PC only: Fixed a bug where the launcher would display an error message that it could not connect to EADM on Vista and Windows 7 machines.

The post on TheSims3.com goes through a couple of things you might be best to do before installing updates – disable custom content and backup save files. The Windows file directory given in the instructions only applies to Windows XP though – in Windows Vista and Windows 7 it’s “C:\Users\[USER]\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3″ where [USER] is your user name.
