As of 0.1.24, the PDPatcher patches itself before the game, eliminating the need to offer separate installers or archives. All downloads for this hotfix have been delated. The code featuring hotfix is already included in latest releases.​

What is a hotfix?
0.1.22.0 and below contain a bug in PDPatcher where it's unable to locate The Sims Online or any manifest files, despite being launched in The Sims Online directory, if you're a 64bit Windows user, such as myself. This wasn't a problem at first, even with the errors, but recently it has been kinda impossible to launch from the patcher itself, and leaving you with an outdated game unless you re-installed with Kon-Kiki and used the PDBootstrap.exe.

In a recent Git update, this was fixed. It was tested, according to the comments, and I even tested it myself agiest the 0.1.22.0. I decided to take the liberty of compiling this recent fix and providing it for any Windows x64 users interested in this project. This is untested on 32bit, though.
In order for this fix to work successfully, you must extract to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\The Sims Online\TSOPatch or C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims Online\TSOPatch, and "Yes to all" when asked to override. This fix WILL NOT give you the bleeding edge features and fixes from Git. The patcher and client are NOT integrated, or I wouldn't be making this thread.

Liinor, please change your avatar. It's disgusting (certain people have insect phobias, including me)
 
You should add to the PDpatcher the latest tsoclient.exe, because current still asking for xna 3.1 assembly...

You have the source code. You should already be able to see what it can or cannot take. Honestly, for someone who wrote Sims Ville Roleplay with the same IDE, I'm surprised at your lack patience with Project Dollhouse.
 
Is just a simple question, i no have lack of patience, i always like to ask so much, becuause i like to understand how the things work...
 
The question will be, why the pdpatcher still download files that has old references instead of new ones??? :)
 
Because there is no new ones. That's why I used the term "hotfix." The whole reason why I grabbed that premature code and compiled it is because included a high priority fix for 64bit users. This all made clear in my original post:

Having a little trouble getting this to work. I have downloaded the TSO Successfully. However, everytime I try to download the PD Installer, it says my files are up to date, then it exits, then it goes on to say "windows is looking for a solution"

Is there a step by step guide for installation, I can look at?
 
http://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/misc/tso/ <- I can assure you the link is not dead.
I'm pretty sure it is in your Program Files > Maxis directory once installed.
If you're running a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows, you may have noticed that there are two different but similar folders; a Programs Files folder, which contains 64-bit applications, and a Programs Files (x86) folder, which contains 32-bit applications. The reason for the separation is backwards compatibility as the two architectures are fundamentally different.

The Sims Online was released as of 2002. I may not be accurate on this, but I believe 64-bit Windows started around 2009. I'm pretty sure The Sims Online is definitely a 32-bit program for its time. That is the reason why The Sims Online is installed in the Program Files folder, not the Programs Files (x86) folder.
