Freetime Patch is out
Andistyr:
This will be the 3rd day I've been playing with Freetime and the 3rd patch - I never installed it before because I was scared it would mess up my game considering all the bad issues I read about on the BBS on The Sims 2 site. No problems I've noticed. I have alot of fixes and hacks, and so far, everything is ok.
Andistyr:
Inrez if you go to the Freetime patch page, scroll down to the bottom of the page and that's what they've fixed with the 3rd patch. Which mainly they've fixed SecuRom issues people were having.

third patch?
What is the difference between the second and third patch? (And I am really pissed at having to now download another 80+ meg patch)
Can't be a hell of a lot of difference, other than the SecuRom crap. I had downloaded the 2nd patch a while back and applied it and the no-CD crack today without realizing there was a third one, and when I went to get the third one and tried to apply it, it told me Free Time was already up to date.

Thank you Jaldeer and AmberDicelss,
I did miss the last two items on the list.
The differences between patch 2 and 3 (for anyone else wondering)
Patch 2
Item 84 - Resolved an issue where some players started their game through the launcher or clicked on the game executable, but never saw the game splash screen on monitor.
Patch 3
Item 84 - Updated SecuRom version to resolve an issue where some players started their game through the launcher or clicked on the game executable, but never saw the game splash screen on monitor and fixed emulation problems players were experiencing.
Item 85 - Added a new command line option "-blackfont" to make in-game fonts appear in black.
Item 86 - Updated game code in order for The SimsTM 2 FreeTime to be compatible with The SimsTM 2 Store Edition. For users who have The SimsTM 2 FreeTime Expansion Pack installed, this patch must be installed in order to run The SimsTM 2 Store Edition with The SimsTM 2 FreeTime Expansion Pack. This patch runs automatically if FreeTime is already on your computer and you install The SimsTM 2 Store Edition on top of it.
As I don't give a damn about the Sims 2 Store I am going to stick with patch 2 and try out the new fixed exe posted at GCW.
Drakron:
In short, patch 3 says what exactly patch 2 DID to "resolved an issue where some players started their game through the launcher or clicked on the game executable, but never saw the game splash screen on monitor" plus a command line for black fonts and EA paysite support.
