Official patch not working?
tizerist:
Howdy peeps.
I've just downloaded the OFB patch which is supposed to fix two problems i have been having: Triple speed arrival on community lots and also problems with the wall-mounted speaker extension (it plays different music to the hi-fi itself AND it has been known to play nothing at all even with the musical notes drifting out of it)
Anyway the problems were still there even after the patch told me 'Open For Business is already up to date' so I'm stumped.
I downloaded commstereofix anyway although i havent had time to try it tonight the main problem remains: the official patch has not fixed the problems its supposed to. Ever heard of this happeneing before? if its any interest i have had all expansions for a while now and only got round to the official patches in the last week or so. would that make a difference you think?
alternatively is there a patch to stop triple speed on community lots?
hope someone can help :P cheers
Gwill:
You patched OFB on top of newer EPs?
I don't believe that works. I didn't think the installer would let you.
J. M. Pescado:
Patching OFB when you are running a newer executable has basically no useful effect.
tizerist:
i see. well i'm well and truly stuffed then.
are there any individual hacks i could use then for these problems, including mobile phones disappearing?
also, IF i chose to reinstall each pack then patch it one by one, would placing my current C:\Users\tizer\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 folder where it is now keep my game exactly as it is? including stay-things-shrub and things like that?
J. M. Pescado:
Yes, if you hide your Sims folder when reinstalling, your game will survive intact when you reinstall back to where you are now.
