FileForums - The Sims 3: Pets v10.0 [MULTI21] No-DVD/Fixed EXE

Hopefully in the right place for this,

There are two files as per the instructions, though no ts3.exe file which the instructions say to replace with archive 2 and then replace ts3w.exe with file archive 1. File archive 1 contains a keygen and a ts3w file - and it doesn't work. Archive 2 contains another ts3w file and no keygen

I had the no-cd patch and the game was working until I got another pack to add, and now no no-disc patch works. When the game was previously working off the no-cd patch I know I had a ts3.exebak file which means there were two files replaced because I looked into my file system to see where all this was to go, and I am sure there was more than just fairlights file and the daemon file when I visited when I first got the game.

I read the thread about the showtime no-cd patch but it noted a ts3.exe as well as the ts3w.exe; is there a file missing from the Pets patch? Can I just replace the ts3w file as per the reply in the showtime thread and not worry about the other. I have re-installed it about 6 times now trying to figure out how to make the game work. Rather wishing I had just kept the game as it was now.

thanks
