With the new Sims 3 expansion Pack “Ambitions” and latest patches  1.12/2.7/3.3/4.0, now  Sims 3 officially  supports game modifications. But the previous methods used for installing Mods will not work with all the latest patches and with the new expansion pack “Ambitions”. So this post is about how to activate mods in the latest patch.

While I’m busy in my siebel CRM training course, today I came through a email from eA India about a good offer in eA India online store and I’m here to share it with techno360 readers. This is a first time pre-oder opportunity for Indians from Sims family. Earlier we have to wait until a Sims game or expansion available in Digital download section, after weeks from it release.

The big difference between this game and others like it is that Atmosphir will be released to the public for free allowing users to not only play the game but also create levels.

As I mentioned in my previous post , ea released 5th patch (1.79) for “The Sims 3″ game to address error (Code) 16 that occurred in previous patch 1.6.6.

According to EA, this patch(The Sims 3 update v1.79 or The Sims 3 World Adventures update v2.2) will Fix for save file incompatibilities that result in the Error Code 16 error message while saving.The patch is available through your game launcher.

Yesterday along with release of  The Sims 3 world Adventures Expansion Pack, ea also released “The Sims 3 1.6.6 Update”, actually I think it’s not a patch, but another half part of the game.

This patch includes a huge list of updates and fixes, you can preview this list of fixes & changes here http://llnw.thesims3.com/

Wait don’t get too excited, yesterday i updated  my Sims 3 game to this latest patch,everything was working fine until I tried to save the game,when I tried to save the game I got an Error code 16 and unable to save the game.

4 Months back i.e. when “The Sims 3″ game was released, at that early stage of gaming I complied a list of  Mods for Sims 3 game. Now it has been 4 months, I think EA released 3 patches for the game,  I was playing the game at least one hour  for a  day and gone through several new mods.

So today i thought to recompile the list with new  Mods which are compatible with latest 1.4.6 patch. Before that if you don’t known how to apply the Mods in your game, then check this link http://bit.ly/19gSPV and also download Delphy’s Framework Install Monkey For Dummies.
