The Sims 3: Game Works Best With NO Updates

After a few experiments, I have come to realization that The Sims 3 works best without updates and patches. The game doesn’t crash; there are no stretchy Sims; the game runs smoothly. But the moment I add one update, the game crashes to desktop with no warning after 1 hour of game-play.
The latest update v1.7/2.2 is not recommended if you don’t have The Sims 3: World of Adventures Expansion Pack. The basement feature they added with this update leaves the map looking something like this both aerial and ground view:
This is highly frustrating because it doesn’t load the lots no matter how long you wait. You also have to reinstall the game entirely. Luckily, I found a site where you can download all the older updates [which are a hit and miss as well] separately so you can have the updates you want and the ones you don’t. Just click here.
Hopefully whenever they fix the latest patch which is needed due to a lot of people getting the “error 16″ message when trying to save. They’ll have the basement feature in order. I honestly don’t believe The Sims 2 had this many errors and in a way The Sims 2 is a lot better. Sims 2 had half walls, spiral stairs, better mods, etc.
