Seeking a learned opinion...
Talismana:
I realize that there have probably been any number of posts relating to this topic, but I have been presented with so many differing answers, and it's all a little multi-faceted, so I'm left thoroughly stumped and confused...ergo why I'm here, dropping it in the lap of those I consider most likely to make the proper call. I apologize if you've heard this all before, but I wanted to get it right and avoid as many headaches as possible.
I've been playing the base game for several years now and am, finally, upgrading my PC and will be moving my game to my new HD. Afterward, I'll add all EPs up to Seasons, no stuff packs.
I've heard differing opinions, and a great many warnings, especially about the Pets patch, and others...what I need to know is whether or not I Should patch my game, and/or if there are certain patches I can, and should, skip alltogether (just so you know, but for a handful, I'll be using all of the Director's Cut, if that makes any difference).
If this was your new PC, what would you do?
Thank you for any insight you can offer.
KatEnigma:
It was my new PC just a few weeks ago.
The game will force you to update the base game, Pets, and Seasons, IIRC. I know it definitely made me update Pets. I just let it go, and then updated BV before installing FT. I'm not having any problems with my game that everyone else isn't having, and fewer than quite a few.
LFox:
The patch issue is very iffy. Personally i reinstalled the sims a month or so ago on my new computer when i did i installed every patch up to pets. After that patches get worse they start breaking more than they fix and to ME it seemed like it was too much risk because i never had those patches before and i never had bugs. I figured i'd get more bugs by updating the game with their buggy patches than leaving the base. It's all a matter of opinion but i think as it stands now anything after pets i'd rather not update for the time being.
cwykes:
I'd say patch. Important stuff is fixed in the patches and I think Pescado's fixes assume you patched.
Emma:
I completely reinstalled when I got Freetime and installed all patches after installing each EP. I haven't had any major problems so far.
