Sims patch problem

[hiro_protaginist]

I downloaded the sims patch and attempted to execute it as the instructions indicated by placeing it in the temp dir that i dumped the game in using blind read. When attempting to use the patch i received the error "sims directory not found" oviously this is a user error on my part wondering if anyone could maby point me in the right direction as to what i have done wrong. Thanx
