Patch ponderings...
Zaphod Beeblebrox:
Legal now (because before 1.2.7, I figured any potential patches might cause a BFBVFS situation with Reloaded, so I caved in and bought it). I initially had problems because of my own stupidity, yes; I'd forgotten about a few altered ini files, but after replacing with the original files, I still had to uninstall and reinstall because the bastard kept hanging on the Launcher for whatever reason. No big deal; I hadn't had to uninstall and reinstall a game because of corruption since the days of TS1, so it was just minor aggravation. I've yet to see any of the freakish problems that people are reporting after patching. Everything runs as smoothly as a baby's bottom.
Simius:
Razor. Had no problems... I was lucky since I had previously replaced my changed files to the originals when tuning mods came out to get rid of the blur and awesomemod got rid of the cd check.
moondance:
Razor. I had deleted the EA library sims, and had to return them to the library before the patch installed. Immediately after patching, I had to reset a batch of sims that were stuck in some kind of work/home limbo. After that, no problems, *no issues, no pathing problems, no lag, no invisible sims, no obvious changes, other than the fact that random sims now visit the sims I'm playing. I didn't necessarily want this, but whatever.
*Well, I wasn't having any issues, until tonight when I ran CCleaner, finally got around to letting some Vista updates install after putting it off for months, and upgraded my video drivers, which I had purposely not been updating because the older drivers worked better with TS2. I didn't add or delete anything from the game itself. NOW I have what Pescado referred to as the "Old Car Syndrome" crash, after not having had that problem in weeks. The peculiarities of this game amaze me.

Razor. I had problems after the patch and it absolutely was not due to incompetence. I solved it because of competence. It was the game that screwed itself up.
It's amazing what a little competence will do. It doesn't necessarily take incompetence to cause a problem but it almost always takes competence to solve it.
Doc Doofus:
I finally applied the patch tonight. It worked fine. I'm using the retail box version (arred), and the patch version that goes directly from base to 1.3 without the intermediate 1.2.7.
