3 Patches for one edition of a game? I can't remember, is this a new record for them? I seem to only recall 2 patches maximum per expansion pack.
That's because there are degrees of broken and Sims 3 was pretty freakin broken when it released. Plus this last patch was just a patch to fix the patch.
If you think Sims 2 was 'freakin broken' when it was released you have no idea what you're talking about.
Quetzilla, they were talking about Sims 3, not Sims 2.
As for Sims 2 being broken out of the box, yes it was. For example: I had a family/family couple both with the 10 kids LTW. After baby number 9 they were unable to try anymore, as they kept jumping out of woohoo interactions. The process of woohooing, birthing & raising the 9 they had already (i.e. normal game play) had given them too many memories to be able to woohoo for the last one. Tracking down the solution led me to Pescado, who made the fix for that particular bug before EAxis were willing to admit the bug existed.
Motoki:
Ah yes, the infamous jump bug. Wasn't that ultimately tied to the memories and once your sims started accumulating too many it ended up in a BFBVFS?
No wonder they ditched the memories feature.
Larku:
To start it without the launcher just use the Game .exe out of the folder instead of the launcher's .exe
And yeah, As far as I can tell. Everything seems to work still.

Minor typo, i meant sims 3 as well.
Even so, your example hardly qualifies as broken. LTW's were only a miniscule portion of the gameplay in sims 2 and you could play the majority of the game without your example bug stopping your game cold. An example of a game *actually* being broken would be Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, which had a CTD for the majority of players preventing them from getting past the first half of the game. That is broken. Your LTW thing is a bug.

I agree with the idea that TS3 was broken upon release. I can't compare to TS2 as I never played that one.
First problem - I was at Best Buy getting some cables or something and they had it at the register. I failed my saving throw and bought it. The DVD would not read in my computer. Went online and found a bunch of the same complaints. I returned the disk and bought the digital download version. This was a major complaint for the release.
Second problem - Story mode as written didn't work and EAxis admitted it. Once it was on it was always on with no way to turn it off. I lost several friends to move out. I found out about MATY from the BBS, downloaded AwesomeMod, and have never looked back. Without AM I would have stopped playing the game within about a week or so.
Third problem - (alright, not a release issue, just an EAxis one) - I could not update to 1.3 due to the Mac digital download not being available. So, I'm running 1.2 and old AM. When I get home I'll get to see if I can update to 1.4.
