@solosonya: it updated the file in programs.

@mrswoo5: Make sure your java is up-to-date. Try the manual patch that blunote00 linked

@Suzan2k: WHAT error ?

@foxyfrankie: Do you have Norton Antivirus ? It obviously puts the Sims3Launcherw.exe in quarantine. Just remove it from there.

Well that seemed to do the trick...it's working again now

I am so sorry you all are having this issue as I have had issues with the past 1.31 patch. I'm scared to download the patch I am so glad I saw this before updating. I hope this issue is resolved soon.

Quick FYI: I'm on an iMac and I've had no problems: my launcher advised me of an update after checking for new updates (I have it checked to not download updates automatically), I clicked to go ahead with update and all has been as normal. I log in at launcher but I don't log in within the game (don't really want simport & all that at the mo) so not sure if that affects anything- I can log in in game if anyone needs confirmation.

I only have the links to patch 1.31 that Nich posted. Sorry.

Are talking about a manual patch for Mac? If so where was that posted?

Thanks.

So you haven't used Simport? I know I've gotten CC and all, and I'm running on an Air.

Mac got the update? Do you use mods / are 1.31's compatible with 1.32?

How do you know the antiviruses aren't thinking it's deleting program files?

^This. My norton kept deleting fps limiter, untill I noted it as safe.
So i'm pretty sure Norton thinks that launcher is trying to delete files that it's not supposed to, or is simply throwing a fit because it is trying to update simport, which is responsible for sending and receiving data for a program.
I wouldn't worry. Antivirous programs can sometimes be ''picky''.

I also agree with the simmer that mentioned that free antivirous programs are not safe enough.
Norton is heavy, and not very user friendly but of all the years i've been using it, nothing ever managed to go through. Not even once. I'm very happy with it, and i've learned to cope with it's grumpiness towards programs that are not widely used.

When I had Norton, my computer would always get infected with stuff. It was awful my computer was getting more viruses than someone who licks the walls at their local health dept.

I logged in via game earlier just to check and I was able to interact with my wall, badges, etc. as normal and I could get into simport and send my sim if I wanted to select someone or host someone elses Sim (I didn't).

I'm on an iMac ( 10.5.8 ) and all is well on my end-got upto update 1.32 (ie. had the 1.31 before I got Showtime and was able to change make up, career clothes, etc. and this afternoon after having Showtime since yesterday did a refresh and had a new update 1.32 and clicked ok (freaking out) but it downloaded as normal). I've been in game playing non-stop for 4hrs all good; as I said above, I checked logging in via in-game and all seemed normal too).

I don't use mods (any/ever) and I've never had any CC in my game. Hope this helps you- if you have any probs let me know and I can check my iMac (I also have a Macbook Pro I sometimes play with) *us Mac folks gotta stick together*

because most people dumped norton 10 years ago

My experience with Norton wasn't quite that bad, but close.

ETA: I didn't even try Simport yet.
