Freetime Patch is out

Considering all the hassle I had installing the last patch (replacing objects.package and skins.package, etc.), I am less than excited about installing the new patch.
That's my question: does anyone know if this patch has the same problems with custom outfits as the previous one?

Wonder if the next EP Apartments will re-break some of these fixes or do more harm to the game it self. Would have been more logical to just wait till the The Sims 2 series was done then come out with a large patch at the end then to have us remove hacks now and then put them back in later after the next EP comes out. We will end up with a broken game anyways since Sims 2 is almost done and they are busy getting Sims 3 out the door. I don't think I will be in any rush to play the next generation of the Sims anytime soon.
My optimistic side wants to believe that EA is really working on patching FreeTime because of player complaints, but then I notice that they're selling another stuff pack next month and it seems to work well for them when they release fixes right before they ask for more money.
There seems to be a new round of SecuROM-related complaints on the BBS from it, and I'm definitely waiting for a crack before I touch the patch. Does someone more adventurous know if the installer's going to get wobbly about my having cleaned-out template neighborhoods and camera mods, though? I had no issues with patch 1, for what it's worth.
Jelenedra:
Remove SecuROM, use nocd crack.
Emma:
I think Securom stays installed on your PC even if you uninstall your games that are infested with it.
jolrei:
You need to follow the steps for removing securom in the "How to remove securom..." thread in the Podium. It includes the instructions for getting and using a no-cd crack. It is not remarkably difficult.
Emma is correct however in that, if you have other games that use securom, and do not have no-cd cracks for them, it will reinstall when you play those games. Chances are, however, that there are no-cd cracks available for those games as well. Gamecopyworld usually has a bunch of them, as do other sites.
