Freetime Patch is out

regarding the patched no-cd exe, how long do these things take to appear? weeks? months? ???
It depends. Sometimes just a few days, sometimes a week or two, sometimes never.
Back in the blissful Securom-free days, patched NoCDs for Sims EPs were virtually nonexistent. There was really not much point to make NoCDs for patched executables which will surely be superseded by yet another EP only after a couple of months, when perfectly working "Fixed Images" were available. Plus Sims is not regarded as a "real game" in the mainstream video gaming scene.
Since BV, there was more demand for patched NoCDs. We got the NoCD for the first BV patch after 3 weeks. For the second patch, we got the NoCD only after a couple of days.
As the new "upgraded" version of Securom was already cracked for Mass Effect, I guess it wouldn't take a very long time for FreeTime as well.

So they 'fixed' 84 items and they claim they 'test' their own game to see if there are bugs?
Maybe someone should tell them that the 'testing' is done so they can fix the bugs before shipping the game.
Because, seen on the amount of 'bugs' they fixed, they just test it so they can say they tested it. They don't realise yet that the next step is not shipping the game, but to actually fix the bugs...
Now let's just hope that they've grown some brains somewhere that tell them that they should start building the next EP from the 'patched' engine. Who knows home many bugs will be in there otherwise? (My estimate is around 160...)
Anyway, I'm not patching unless I've found my 'patched no-dvd'... I don't want the 'securom' junk to update instal itself...

Oh! That helps a lot. Vista is MUSH SMERTER and hides that by default, so it won't confuzzle users. You have to press Shift, Ctrl, or Alt to make it show up, not sure which is which.
Really?? Well MY version of Vista shows the tools option. One of the first things I did when the new comp came was unhide the file extensions. Am I missing something?

Has the patch fixed the annoying lag that happens whenever Sims leave/arrive the lot by ownable cars, or walk to lots? The first patch didn't fix it.
Nope.
Damn, that was the only real annoying bug that I couldn't find a fix anywhere. >:( Oh well, one less reason to bother with the new patch then...
I'm thinking the same - I managed to install P1 and everything is fine. If P2 does not fix the obvious annoyances, I'll pass for the moment. (I don't think I've even noticed the obvious annoyances, actually.)
Skye:
In reading through all the messages, and on snootysims, it appears that securom has been inserted into the patch they just released. Now I don't know about you guys, but I really don't want yet another version of securom in my computer, without my permission! And this patch has messed up several computers, folks were saying (also in the bbs).
I will stick with the little fixes on this site and from Lord Darcy.
hugs,
skye
