Solid, Dec. Everybody, you should do this everytime you apply a patch or load a new EP or SP.

Yeah. So far I've had success by opening the Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods/Packages folder and deleting the contents, and also the resource file in Mods and the d3dx9_31.dll in the Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Game/Bin folder. Then, after applying the patch or doing the installation, opening the recycle bin and executing the restore all items function. Then, of course, I check for any updated mods that I am using and re-downloading and installing them. This doesn't seem to be quite as painful as a full  reinstall of all the mods.
