The NL Patch
veilchen:
I've tried to find an existing thread for some answers, but I am way to tired to go hunting beyond page 14 of the podium. I have a question that maybe some people here can answer.
I have not yet installed the patch that came out after NL. I'm a little bit leery of it, I seem to read about all kinds of problems that people have post-patch. I read through all the issues the patch addresses on the sims site, and I either don't have the problem, or I have a mod that fixes it.
So, my question is, do I really need to install it at all? Am I inviting trouble, like a BFBVFS, or something similar catastrophic by not installing it? I'm not sure anymore, the patch is sitting on my desktop glaring at me accusingly, and I still don't know whether I should install, or whether I should not try to fix things that are not yet broken.
Besides, I heard that the patch also knocks the one good glitch out, the potty training glitch, which to my shame, I rather like.

I would personally suggest you install it but move your download folder before you do, then look at the list of hacks/mods that are compatible on this site or others and then place the ones you read that are safe or look for upgraded version.
For me, the patch solve a lot more problems than it created some. What I understand is not mainly the patch that caused problem to some but more Nightlife itself.
So you know also, about 2 weeks ago I took the time to test the unfamous "remote control car" to see if it was really fix. I can assure you it is. Important after the patch that you remake your "objects.package" file a read-only again since the patch does not make it that way and they did not resolve the Mrs. Crumplebottom getting bitten with it.

I have only the ones in the game that come with JM's (and of course, Boris') personal sanction for NL :).
I have a back-up of my downloads on my external drive as well. I had a nasty surprise way back when with the sims1, when I re-installed per their tech advisors and ended up losing most of my stuff. That was, by the way, the absolute last time I ever asked the 'help' personell about the sims1 game. I didn't even consider it when I ran into problems with the sims2, I went straight to the highest authority: JM.
Thanks for the advise Missdoh, I think I'm just the tiniest *cough* bit paranoid when it comes to the game.

I seem to still be able to potty train using the cancel method post patch.

I've had no trouble with applying or playing, with patch, and I use a looong list of hacks-- I typed it out in the phone hack thread. Seriously, I've not had any real issues (except the squiggle lines, fixed with a reinstall and "read only" status applied to my object packages) with the Sims2 since it came out. :)
