FreeTime Patch Released
Alex:
I still install in order with The Sims 2 for some reason. Maybe it's my delusional belief that less things can go wrong that way (seeing as it does overwrite some files right?), but does it really matter? As it's been pointed out, EA keep building new eps off borked versions so they all a big pile of bork anyway.

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.
Wasn't that because they made you insert the disc from the previous expansion before they'd finish the install?
And is it sad that all the only thing hype about the Sims 3 is doing is making me want to buy the Sims Complete Collection?
Process Denied:
Like Prescado said, he made fixes for a lot of these things. Are these problems due to hack conflict? Or is it from a clean game? I ,personally, still have my hacks in-- I have back-up so I don't care. In limited game play, I don't notice a problem yet.
Ellatrue:
Bug reports on the BBs are usually not that reliable. It's usually a hack conflict, or a problem with people not understanding their hacks, or how the game works, or reporting a problem that existed before the EP. It's hard to know what is actually the result of the expansion pack, and what is only being attributed to it.
Alex:
Unfortunately people are too stupid to under what "Try taking the hacks out first" means... :(
