Freetime Patch is out
morriganrant:
Teens no longer have the option to "Birdwatch".
Teen and Child Sims will no longer receive the unachievable Bird Watch Want.
What? They couldn't figure out what they did wrong so they just removed it instead of fix it?
MADE OF FAIL
My teens can birdwatch just fine, Thanks to jase. I'll stick with my 3rd party fixes thank you very much. What, they couldn't do what they did last time, and use community modders code? Bleh, Teen sims should be able to bird watch, it's just stupid for it to be restricted to adults and elders.
Edit:
Oh, and if that is the same version of Securom that was on the third Sim Cities Societies patch, DO NOT WANT, it gave be hell about my deamon and I couldn't get a no-cd to work. It was such a pain in the ass to remove again, I'm not even sure it's all gone, as I tried installing the game again and only up to the second patch, but still couldn't get the game to run, fuck that.

Wonder if the next EP Apartments will re-break some of these fixes or do more harm to the game it self.
Considering their inability to learn from past mistakes or actually use anything resembling logic, it's a definite. I thought that Lord Darcy postulated that the reason bugs and such keep recurring is because they are building the EPs & SPs all off the (unpatched) Pets engine. Well, duh. If you keep building off the same engine you knew had bugs without fixing it, you're going to keep getting the same bugs.
Not quite, I said only SPs are built on Pets engine. EPs can't do that, otherwise they'll lose all new functions and objects from post-Pets EPs.
Every EP includes the whole contents of last EP's object.package. (Stuffpack objects are not part of object.package since Celebration, that's why they remain outdated.) So Apartment Life will include the whole contents of FT object.package. The problem comes from the idiocy that EAxis is not carrying the change FT patch brought on FT object.package forward AL's object.package. As EAxis started to develop AL before they released FT patches, it means that they're building AL upon broken, unpatched FT engine. That's unavoidable, given the schedule, but any respectable game company will take the time to include the contents of FT patch in AL before they send AL to gold. They don't, because it means rewriting of changed codes and what not, heaven forbids the delayed release date. I think that's the reason why once-stomped bugs are constantly resurrected in the next EP.

So what do I do with my "unholy hybrid" LOL ???
Don't have one would be a favourite option. Get a no-cd crack for the patched EP.
No Cheats:
I installed the old Patch and the new one. No problems with suckUrom (using only daemon tools, but don´t start it), no problems with playing.
Millions of bugs removed with this patch. I´m very happy about the rethinking with the Base Game Compability (TSS, B&K) and happy they are recognizing some Maty fixes (Biotech etc) Hope the third patch fix the next millions of bugs by using MATY.
I see the will to remove new AND old bugs. Maxis is absolutely on the correct road now.
Nice Patch for me.
The next patch could be the nuclear war extreme MATY patch, who knows.
You should know, I´m NOT a big friend of EAxis, but I begin rethinking about Maxis, I see the will in fixing first time. Compliment!
Emma:
Well, I just installed the patch but it errored on the 'overrides.package' ??? I replaced that and it installed fine. I bet my game is crapped out now though, I am glad I backed up everything :D Just going to run my game now and see if it is working.
[eta] Everything seems fine. I haven't taken out any of my hack fixes though :D
