Newly updated Error Trap prevents game load with incompatible mod error

Post by mysticalmaid » October 29th, 2013, 3:11 pm

My game won't load with Error Trap in, I just downloaded it from the top of Update History. It's giving the Incompatible mod window. Loads fine without the file.

That's a good point as do I use the dvd version normally, the zip doesn't have steam in the name though so it's the dvd version that I downloaded I think. Sorry for taking so long to reply, I haven't been on the pc in a while.

Just to let you know I'm still getting the message and I've double checked I'm using the DVD version. I've never seen this in all this time of using Error Trap. It reads..

It Looks like you have installed an unofficial game modification that does not match your current version of The Sims 3. We recommend that you either uninstall these game modifications or get updated versions of them - otherwise you may experience crashes or significant bugs.

Yes I patched the game using the update on the launcher before installing Into The Future. Is that the problem? Maybe I should try the superpatch.

Check your Patch Level Compatibility does it definitely say 1.63 when you check your version using the method in that link?

If it does, then make sure you have the latest version of ErrorTrap. Be careful, you need the normal version if you don't use Steam, and the Steam version if you do.

It looks like the launcher didn't correctly patch my game. The version is 1.62 and the Superpatch is failing because of an invalid file. Looks like I have corrupt files somewhere. Thanks for the help all, sorry I thought it was Error Trap, but I'm glad it showed me there was an issue with my installation.
