Well speaking of updating files erroneously - what about all the data files? When you play one hood, *every* hood file is touched. I bet they're all read and saved back, which is probably why the game takes so long to unload after you've finished playing.
Idk. That's why I only put one Neighborhood folder in at a time. The rest just hibernate in MyDocs.
I need to start doing that...I really only play one 'hood at the time, but I keep the last couple abandoned ones around because I feel guilty (dumb, I know). Should just back them up and delete.

Just seen on the official site under Freetime that EA have admitted to a cock up
If your sim has sewn the gold badge custom clothes it changes the skins file in game and the patch cannot install because of that and henceforth the message to uninstall and reinstall freetime when patching
Obviously they didnt test the patch installation but is this a first by them to admit fricking it up
I'm not shocked that the so-called "patch" fucked something up. However, how many other things has that usless piece of crap screwed up? (This is making me glad I didn't buy FreeTime).

If you don't have the patch how does the gold sewing badge effect the game? I haven't downloaded it yet. Will it bork my game if I have a sim with a gold badge make clothing without the patch?
Jelenedra:
From what I gather, if you have sims that use the gold sewing to make custom clothes in-game, when you save it overwrites a system file. That's what borkenating the patch. It tries to install, sees that the file isn't the same it should've been and coughs out. That's why they're telling people to reinstall, to set the skins2.package back to what it should be.

Actually, they've removed the patch from their web site. Does this mean that the patch was worse than the unpatched game?
