Well, I'm not bored now. Ugh, dealing with The Sims is like wrestling someone who is a lot bigger than you and hell of a lot stronger than you. With moves that you don't know at all... So far, I've uninstalled WA, updated the base game to 1.9 even though it's currently at 1.10. But I have cracks for 1.9 so I'm keeping it there until everything is all good again. Now I have to restart, reinstall WA, hopefully be able to update to the corresponding 2.4 and then deal with the store situation. After that, ugh, I have no idea. Hopefully it'll work out.

But I'm not holding my breath. As it is now, I think I might have to give up on my previous games... My awesome Harry and Draco who were just starting their family, my John and Rodney who somehow ended up with two sets of triplets, even my fake!Sherry who had way too high demands and expectations that I had to create a guy for her because everyone else in the city was like cool but evil, cute but stupid, or too old... Yeah, I totally felt the fail on that one. *sigh*

Okay, restarting now because as much as I want to update on a uninstall, they always say restart first... And I want this to go well. *crosses fingers*

edit x1: Oh joy, my copy of WA is corrupted. Downloading a new one now. All 5.49 GB of it. *head hits desk* So now i have another three hours to wait on. At least three hours.

edit x2: 1/3 of a pint of Mocha Frappucino ice cream somehow makes this whole thing seem a lot better. 1h 40 mins left on my download.

edit x3: Well, WA and HELS have both been installed, with WA updated to 2.4 and HELS at 3.0. I'm scared to take it to 1.10/2.5/3.1 so I'm just going to pause it here and deal with the store/custom content/mods and stuff (I have no idea if my male pregnancy mod is even working anymore) and hope it all turns out well... :\ Maybe I'll actually get to play it sometime tonight...

edit x4: Okay, testing a new game... Hopefully this works... I shudder to think of how my old saved files will behave...

edit x5: No luck. Am trying another work around but am losing hope quickly...

edit x6: Some moderate success. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have all of the store files as I should have. I'm generally very, very diligent about getting every single file but the torrents that I download that profess to have every single store file don't. In fact, it seems like they're missing some of the free stuff out there... :\ I'll have to find a way to install them somehow...

Not sure if it would help but I found a install/patch order summary in case you needed it
Sims 3 really got a lot of issues :(

ETA: This thread is the one for custom contents issues

Oh, you're preaching to the choir. I don't think I've even updated it once without an issue coming up during or after it. It's so frustrating...especially when you have custom content and mods you want to use...Not to mention, when you're using a not so legal copy of it...

But thanks for that first link! I was wondering when I should install High End Lofts.
