Well I have tried everyway tc tc3 tso ealand with...failure to update or connect to server could be due to maintenance or server issues please click retry or quit baloney...Originally I got the same crud of an update is required of 120kb and I do this and lo! my sims appear temtpting me to go into the game and I click.............and get another game update is required a constant loop da loop...
I did all this at 3 am (GMT) couldnt sleep and then there was nothing available after the downloads so I reckoned must be maintenance
WHATS THE EXCUSE NOW????
Is this always going to b a problem? (reaches for valium)
Last query for anyone reading with the patience of a saint....what am I supposed to do with the old tso client info eg shortcuts and downloads apart from eat them

Not sure what to tell you about the old files. I ditched them myself, but if you're on dialup you might not want to do that until the download becomes available on disk from the EA-Land site. Right now the page still says 'under construction'. Apart from that since its 2:35 AM PST I think if I were you and you have nothing else to do I'd go to bed and get some sleep while the devs are doing the same and hope that they update in the Tech forum if this is a widespread issue and not an isolated one. Not enough people have posted with probs yet to know if it is or not, I don't think....I think I counted only 4 (6?) problems so far, but that's because the patch was finally put out so late at night. When PST, EST and CST wake up we'll start seeing whether or not a big problem exists, or just a few intermittent ones like I was having yesterday.
I patched to both EA Land and TC3, and back and forth with no problem, and no problems entering houses. I cringed trying to decide whether or not to try to patch to EA Land after 28 hours of fighting yesterday to get into TC3, but I took the leap of faith and lucky it didn't backfire.....I might need therapy otherwise LOL.
