Ethics, schmethics. It's not a concept I pay more than token attention to, so what makes you think EAxis does?
That was my conclusion. They should just use your fixes. I'm glad to hear that you agree. EA, are you listening?
Is it safe to use AwesomeMod with this patch?

Complete list of changes:
* Addresses some issues with Speed 2 and 3 moving too slowly. Some machines will have better results when using Speed 2 and 3 now.
* Fix to story progression on/off selection toggle.
* Fix for a possible crash with audio code.
* Fix for babysitter routing off lots with babies.
* Addresses some issues with Vsync and refresh rate problems.
* Addresses some issues with DVD authentication errors and drive compatibility on startup.
* This update deals with some issues on Mac systems that can crash the game while connecting to AFP servers.
* Fix for a freeze that can occur when Sims attempt to clean out bad food from the fridge.
This is ALL they fixed? What about the other obvious bugs like the inability to have more than one outfit per outfit type, or the stopping of all music when apparently too many channels are being used? Or the bracelets only going on one wrist? Or "favorite color" being vestigial? Or the inability to have custom neighborhoods? Or the conspicuous absence of a diving board, piano, or hot tub? Or the lack of a cute, zany mood-related character like Tragic Clown or Social Bunny? Or the inability to style fences, stairs, or chimneys? Or the inability to change maternity clothing? Or ghosts having all of the needs and abilities of corporal sims? Or Dim Sum being a dish rather than a style of serving? Or the developers being a bunch of lazy &$!?nuggets when it comes to patching, beta testing, and game intricacies? I had complete faith that all of these would be fixed.

Or the one reported by GOSlings where toddlers stretch into this weird ET-like thing while watching TV? o_o
Just out of interest, what IS the point of favourite colour? I know it crops up in conversation, but... is that it?

I haven't had any toddlers get all weird myself, but if that is a problem, yes AND THAT TOO! The favorite color is completely vestigial. It was supposed to give sims mood benefits when they were around it, but I guess they couldn't make the limited selection of favorite colors and the hundreds of colors available in the color wheel work together.

I have no idea if this was the sole intent, but when Sims discover they have a favorite color in common, it boosts their friendship a bit. Similar to how having a trait in common will give a boost. That's my observation, anyway. Someone who's seen the code could tell you whether my observation is true or just wishful thinking.
