Almost once in a month, a new Sims 3 patch is coming. Now has come the Sims 3 patch 1.3 which is such a big fix to the game that it is not possible for us to detail each and every update made by Sims 3 1.3 patch here. It will update your game to the current v1.3. The link to download the Sims 3 update 1.3 is given at the end of this post.

Tough every update created by the Sims 3 patch 1.3 is important but we are listing below only few of them.

After getting promoted in a job with a night shift the Sim will only receive the day off if their next shift starts within 8 hours.
Exporting and Sharing a Level 10 Gardener Sim properly maintains their special abilities.
Fixes to Story Progression. Babies will no longer be born to single parents. Player created or controlled households are now “protected” and will no longer be removed through “Story Progression.” Warning: Story Progression will no longer remove previously player controlled Sims. Users who take control of too many Sims in the same game may experience poor performance as the neighborhood can become over populated.
Switching between multiple saved outfits of the same type no longer has the potential to wipe out saved outfits.
Waterlillies now have a smoother level of detail transition when zooming the camera.
Camera memory hotkeys now properly remember floor level.
Certain situations will now properly stop socialization and disallow asking other Sims to join.
Bait picker for fishing has been improved.
Sims no longer automatically exit the bathtub before receiving the “Bathe until Tranquil” moodlet.
