The Patches Scrolls

The Patches Scrolls is a German-based (but English-language) website hosting patches for many games, most notably old games where the developer has gone out of business and no longer supports the game. They use mostly FileFront to host their Sims 3 patches. They have been in business since 1995.

They offer patches available for download not long after they are released from any version and region code to the most current update.

Availability
You do not need to register at The Patches Scrolls nor at Filefront to able to download patches. There is no delay for being a free user, though Filefront may sometimes have a queue when they are experiencing high traffic.

Advertisments
The Patches Scrolls and Filefront both have multiple flash banners and TPS has a pop-up window when you first enter the page.
