I'm jonesing for my AM!
kuronue:
However, it IS true that a large number of bug reports are due to being too fucktarded to actually realize "dur, if the game code changes, modifications to the game code will break".
That said! Now that patches are also including engine upgrades like the basement tool, I'm far more in favor of patches (not that I was ever entirely against them). The patches for TS2 were at best redundant with the Pescado fixes.
Drakron:
And the Launcher issues are caused by mods? Heck if you have a NVidia card and 195.62 drivers you might get the BSOD caused by much they fucked up the launcher ... just for showing how much they tested the damn thing.
The funny thing is the Tool over there suggested that we turn .package files into .sims3packs as the way to solve the WA slowdown issue, if we did that then after THIS patch we would have the issue of even moar CC not working ... the only saving grace is that the Tool was ignored and few sites use EA sims3pack wrapper.
And yes, people ARE stupid ... one of the causes of WA slowdown was having TS2 packages that naturally was going to fuck things over but people stupidity does not excuses EA own stupidity.

Plus I've yet to hear of a big problem with a patch that wasn't a CC conflict, which is not EAs fault.
This is unmitigated bullshit. The most famous example is piano comfort in TS2, which was broken, fixed, broken, fixed, etc. by multiple patches. There was also the maid's repeated cleaning of the fish tank, which followed the same formula.
EA is famous for publishing games that have bugs the community finds in less than a few hours, despite their piss-poor excuse for QA. Patches follow the same formula.
I wasn't talking about The Sims 2. I hardly remember The Sims 2 getting updated very often. The Sims 3 excels in the sheer number of updates, as far as I remember.

O rlly?

There was about 1 patch per expansion, TS3 have this:
http://www.thesims3.com/game/patches
Lets see ...
1.2.7 : Fixes critical bugs
1.3 : First real patch.
1.4: Fixes the ABILITY TO UNINSTALL THE GAME!
1.5/1.6: The World Adventures Upgrade.
1.7/2.2: Fixes the save game issue with the 1.5/1.6 patch
1.8/2.3: World Adventures Patch + CAW + Store
Oh yes, "updated very often" to clean their own mess as in the rest its just like TS2 with one patch for expansion, granted they are updating the core with expansion functionality by a patch but considering how many patches (3/5) were released to just correct fucks ups that should not had been present in the first place if they actually HAD a Q&A team ...
Now we learned something called "context", more patches does not mean more support ...
