FreeTime Patch Released
lostsoul:
How lovely of them. They release a patch to fix all the stuff they borked with FT, then just bork stuff up even more.
Completely agree there - Sims 1 was brilliant, never even needed 'patching'.
Emma:
Yeah, I downloaded it too-and it is sitting on my desktop. I don't think I am going to install it after all.
Faizah:
The Sims 1 did need patching. I remember this because of the big brouhaha about needing to buy the next expansion in order to obtain the necessary patch. Yes, that's right, the patches were in the next expansion.
I will point out though that the Sims 1 was still far more stable than the Sims 2, there's no way they would've gotten away with that 'buy to patch' crap this time around, no-one would even play that long.
Lord Darcy:
Sure there were numerous bugs in TS1, but at least bugs fixed in previous EPs STAYED fixed in new EP. Back in the days, Maxis had the common sense to build new EPs on the base of already fixed files, not to go back to borked old version.
The only drawback of TS1 is that to uninstall one EP, we have to uninstall the whole game and start from the scratch. I could have lived with that, given that the alternative we've got now is one humongous borkpool.

The other drawback that I recall was that Sims1 EPs had to be installed in order. So if you bought House Party after you'd installed Hot Date, you'd have to uninstall before you could reinstall the game with House Party.
I remember when I was installing on a new computer with all EPs up to Unleashed, I'd just about done with the dance of the disks when I realised I'd stacked them in the wrong order and had therefore left out one EP. Was annoying to have to uninstall and reinstall, when it was due to my own carelessness like that.
