Razor1911 release vs. Reloaded release
tedw:
Oh, good call - I hadn't thought about it being a rabbit hole, although I did wonder once I noticed the piece on the roof.
I'm annoyed at the things they left out, too - the roof height is really bugging me. And the lack of stages, and heights for wall deco. They've also lost (as far as I can tell) the ability for a sim to lock a door to a chosen group (such as all sims, family, etc).
Some paintings do appear to have recolorable frames, from what I've seen as I've done houses. Shame they couldn't do it for fences and stairs.

One thing that really annoys me is the lack of half walls, especially since many of the premade houses were designed in a way (railings around kitchens, etc.) that suggests that SOMEone must have thought, "Gee, a half wall would be perfect here".

I.Am.She, thanks for the alternate link to the EA patch.
I did a binary compare and the updates were very underwhelming. Only 3 files changed:
Default.ini - added "InstallationRequired = 0"
GraphicsRules.sgr - in the very last line with the #, changed "E?-Kad}" to "0bfffcc9753aabac325f".
skuversion.txt - changed "1.0.631.00002" to "1.0.632.00002".
That's all.

I downloaded and installed the Reloaded version, and then for shits and grins the Razor version. Right off the bat with the Razor version I noticed less crashing, though it still happens, and a very slight speed up in the fast forward options. However, it could be because of the fresh install rather than any real changes in the code.

I installed the Razor version and had MORE crashing than with Reloaded. BUT - I finally lowered all my graphics settings, everything to medium or whatever is next to highest (there's one tht has a very high so that's on high), and I unchecked all the checkable options except reflections. What I suspect might have been most important was turning of advanced rendering. Anyway, I did that, shut down the game, loaded it up again and... played for HOURS without a crash. Tonight was the first night since Sunday that I closed the game down voluntarily and not because it it crashed.
In fairness, I never tried turning of advanced rendering in Reloaded, but I did notice right off that the Razor version doesn't spike my temps like Reloaded did. Plus at least one glitch I was experiencing was fixed, with Reloaded some Sims didn't have the "change appearances" option on mirrors, but that's working in Razor. Oh I also installed the razor patch (but still crashed after that - it was ultimately the lowering of graphics settings that fixed that problem if indeed it is fixed.) And I'm playing with my saves from Reloaded.
And by the way, I LOVE THIS GAME! I see a lot of complaints - am I the only who thinks, outside of the glitchiness, it's freakin' awesome?!
