Wonder why your leaked Sims 3 game that you’ve downloaded is low on content and has many bugs? If you’ve guessed it’s not the final version, you are correct! According to the various comments in some of my previous posts, the leaked version is 1.0.615.00107. Well, a crafty Sims fan found information of the first Sims 3 patch from EA (http://na.llnet.eadownloads.ea.com/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/sims3_sku7_update_manifest.xml) which reads that it’ll take the game (1.0.631.00107) and update to version 1.0.632.00107. A lot can change in 17 builds!
Thanks to the forums at Snooty Sims as well as reader JRon for the source.
I KNEW IT *jumps for joy*
Thank God! I was going to get ready to feel so cheated after all the screen shots and feedback from the comments. 🙂
I’m not convinced that this automatically means more objects and customization options in Create a Sim, but we’ll just have to see, won’t we?
Even though I doubt it means it changed content, bugs were most likely fixed. I highly doubt we’ll see any new objects and such..
That’s good to hear. Hopefully many of the flaws will be worked out for the official release. Once the annoyances are eliminated and the modding community gets going full swing it could be great.
Who really cares its not like the retail version won’t be pirated either.
What that indicates is that the release version, like the leaked version, is ALSO non-final, and still has many bugs.
Not that “final” really means anything these days.
Not that I’m complaining. Hoping they actually RELEASE that patch right away, rather than sitting on it.
Mo thats a very sad comment.
Pirating is very sad. I guess Mo condoles it. Very Sad.
Doesn’t mean it isn’t upgradeable when the final version comes out. It also doesn’t mean the final isn’t going to get out there like the previous one (like Mo mentioned).
(It doesn’t make me happy or sad, it’s something to expect actually)
🙂
I do not condone piracy but its the truth, the retail version of the game will be pirated just like hundreds of other games.
well…no one looks on the brighter side of things anymore, do they?
I call bullshit on this. 17 builds behind and they already have the serial key system in place?
There won’t be any more items in retail, they will all be available for $$$ from EA, both as expansion packs and as microtransactions.
Don’t get me wrong, Sims 3 is a great game, but it is an EA game and thats just how they operate.
how do we get it from here?
Eh? The leaked copy? You’re on your own – I do not recommend downloading the game
You all really have no lives complaining about a game you’re not even making money off of. What’s the point? You really think buying the game will make your life happy because you didn’t do something “illegal”. No one cares whether you buy it or not and no one should even care if it’s pirated or not. It happens get over it.
Hear Hear Bob! Well said! People with tiny superficial lives have little hope of breaking out of the box they’ve trapped themselves in. Constantly adding nails to the boards over the windows in it by commenting here or anywhere else about how bad piracy is or how great their favourite developer is is completely futile and just ensnares them even further in their false 5-sense realities…

KILL YOUR TELEVISION!
Looks like fix going to add new Neighbourhood
Why can’t people buy the game? Pirates are killing industries, if you don’t have the money, get a job..
I have the leaked version, which seams to crash atleast everytime I play it, and I’ve preordered the game, my summer is wasted..
Pirates aren’t killing the industry, the developers and their crap games are. There are thousands of indie developers putting out free games who know how to make money off of them without limiting any of the players or ripping them off in the first place.
Slippy is right in suggesting that EA is going to make as much money off of this as they possibly can while putting out a crap product — as is their nature, and limiting the amount of items in the retail copy is the easiest way to do it.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Will Wright wouldn’t have jumped off of this sinking ship prematurely if he knew it still had potential and EA was going the right direction with his beautiful conception.
A good portion of the people who pirated this game noted that they had already pre-ordered it, and more often than not, the deluxe version. I think people have a right to know if their money is being spent well and at the same time I think that it creates a perfectly acceptable backfire towards the developers who promised certain things and kept pushing the release date back in order to fulfill those promises.
This is one of the most successful games of our time. I’ve seen the gameplay and while it is good for the most part, there are a lot of quirky things about it that worried me incredibly if this were the final release. In fact I’d go so far as to say some of the quirks swayed my interest in buying the game at all. I want to support what remains of Maxis and Will Wright’s legacy in this game, but honestly EA is dropping a huge ball here if they don’t do this right and it will be the end of what could still be the most popular game.
If anything, the pirates are helping EA to not screw the pooch on this one and anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t understand the game development process or how greedy corporations like EA really are.
It’s not that we don’t have a life but bob unlike you we actually enjoy the things we do and we enjoy playing sims, but the wack jobs that had downloaded it illegaly is slowly making it impossible for EA to make more games for us so those people downloading it is not just making it worse for themselves their putting it ON us too!
But you don’t care do you? but you did care to put up a stupid comment, why are you on this site anyways, are you making money off of it? No, didnt think so!
I Support Pirating.
Скажите пожалуйста, какой лицензионный ключ к игре симс 3 ? :))
what alot of people don’t realize is that the people that download these pirated games are the same people that
1) wouldn’t spend their pay on the game anyway
2) would just copy it off a friend if they didn’t download a pirated game in the first place
I come under category 1, I don’t see the point spending my already heavily taxed low salary on some game that’s going to give me a few hours of fun and then require me to purchase additional content and EPs
I support piracy as a method of quality control (check out spore, piracy at it’s finest)
If a game really is good then I’d have no problem paying for it.
I had downloaded the leaked Sims 3 and I had bought it today.
For me, were the leaked Game just a test 😉
the link doesnt work!!!
I do belive that most PC games are over priced ,remember that most of the players are teens and preteens and nerly 50 dollers for a game is just too much and they can’t afford it and for third world countries USD 50 is like 25% of my salary
and it is way too much
