Hi, everyone! I strongly apologise for disturbing you and I am so sorry if I am writing this comment in the wrong section. I am very new here. May I ask if anyone has 'Version' '91' of the 'Error' 'Trap' 'mod'? My sister has an older 'P.C.' with the disc version of the entire game. She owns all the 'Expansion' and 'Stuff' 'packs' with almost all of the store content. We tried the 'SuperPatcher' by installing it both 'online' and 'offline', but it breaks the game with unreadable errors as we had to reinstall the game every time we tried applying it. The game is stuck at '1.63', which is not a problem for us, apart from the freezing which tends to occur in the store worlds. I also tried other 'fixes', but many 'Simmers' directed me to this 'website' in order to ask for the earlier version of this 'core' 'mod'. It would be amazing if anyone of the experts here could send us this version of 'Error' 'Trap' since the older versions are no longer hosted on the 'Internet'. My account is brand new so I cannot send personal messages yet. I would like to thank you so much for your kindness and help! Have a great day! Love, Andra

Hi there. I have split your post off into its own thread as it has nothing to do with the one you posted to. There is no reason that newer members cannot start their own message board threads here.

Officially there is no support to be had for the older versions of the mods. Are these the real EA produced individual game disks that you are working with or were these discs produced, packaged up, and obtained from another party, and is the SuperPatch also the proper one? There is no reason it should be failing on a retail disc install provided the game was not pirated. If all is legit, I would be spending time finding out why the update to 1.67 isn't working by this method, even if it means reinstalling the game, rather than trying to find outdated mods to work with.

Hello! Thank you so much for your kind reply. I did not know a new user could create a new thread and I strongly apologise for posting in the wrong place for the first time. I am still exploring the profile. Yes, the games were bought from a legit game retailer form my country starting from 2009 and they are in their original cases. We have the older 'base' game disc (it was purchased right after the release of the game) and I remember it used to install the " 'E.A.' 'Download' 'Manager' " (it was before the 'Origin' application) and the game was patching through it back in 2011. I can confirm that the game is not pirated as the discs also have the 'Serial' 'Number' and the official flyers with "Maxis" and " 'E.A.' " advertisements in the box. Moreover, the 'SuperPatcher' is from the " 'E.A.' " 'website'. We mostly always had installation issues in the past. I tried many 'fixes', but the same error popped up and I could not reach the 'launcher'. Furthetmore, the 'P.C.' is quite old and it would be easier to help the game with " 'Error' 'Trap' " as it is not applying the 'SuperPatch'. Some 'Simmers' advised me to reach out to you in order to ask for an earlier version of any of the "NRaas" 'mods'. It is absolutely fine if you cannot send an earlier version of " 'Error' 'Trap' " or if it is against the guidelines. I do not mean to bother you. A fellow 'Simmer' suggested contacting Sarah as she has most earlier versions, but the personal messaging feature is not unlocked for me yet. It would have been great if I had been able to obtain it from here, as I could not find it anywhere else, but it is alright if it is not available anymore. Many thanks and have a great day! I apologise for disturing you. I really appreciate your help.

The older versions of the mods are no longer available. We'd be of more help to you if you elaborated on the error the super patch is giving you.

Hello! Thank you so much for your help and kindness! I strongly apologise for my late reply. I have just opened the 'Internet' application on my phone. It is absolutely fine. We used the "NRaas" 'MasterController' (we have the right version of that and we own 'Overwatch' as well) and we reset everything within the " 'Barnacle' 'Bay' " save last night. Moreover, I also evicted the only family that had a toddler as I read on a forum that it might help with the lag. Then I deleted a cluster of trees and bushes and the game works smoothly again! I only asked for " 'Error' 'Trap' " as I know it is a 'core' 'mod' that does wonders, but we solved the problem with the other two necessary 'mods'. It is absolutely okay if the earlier versions are not available anymore. Have a great day and many thanks! I will keep you posted.

as it is not applying the 'SuperPatch

I wonder - how did you try to install the super patch?
Normally you would install the base game and all expansions
and then (without starting the launcher or the game) simply execute the super patch exe (maybe also as administrator).

What error note do you get?

Hi! 🥰 Thank you so much for replying to my post and I strongly apologise for my very late reply. I have just signed in after a couple of hours. I tried applying the patch after installing all the ‘Expansion’ and ‘Stuff’ packs (from the discs) and the store content as well. The error which pops up does not allow the ‘launcher’ to start, but after several attempts, I finally gave up and applied the graphic card ‘fixes’ and the “ ‘NVidia’ ‘Inspector’ ” settings for the ‘F.P.S.’ cap. Our family ‘desktop’ is an old ‘P.C.’ and I am very glad that I managed to get the game to work after reinstalling it multiple times. I tried many suggestions from the forums as far as the ‘SuperPatch’ is concerned, but they did not work for our game, which is why a fellow ‘Simmer’ directed me to this particular ‘website’ in order to ask for the ‘1.63’ “ ‘Error’ ‘Trap’ ” version that could have helped us within our “ ‘Barnacle’ ‘Bay’ ” save after it froze. As far I as I understand, the earlier versions of the “NRaas” ‘mods’ are no longer available and I only thought about trying if anyone has it so that I could put it into the ‘Packages’ ‘folder’. We apparently fixed that ‘routing’ issue and we will hope for the best. Thank you all so much for your help and I apologise for my long posts. Have a great day everyone! Hugs!

I hope that someone here can help technically.
I also have a disc install and used Superpatch with no problem. So I really wonder what the problem might be.

Thank you so much for your help and kindness! It is alright - the game is working normally and I am happy to have “ ‘Master’ ‘Controller’ ” and ‘Overwatch’ with their right versions. 🥰
