Patch 1.11/2.6/3.2
Rolfy:
I've installed the patch for the game, but when I try to install the patch for CAW I get a "Update Error: File not found" message. Anyone experiencing this?
Update: OK found the solution. If you get this error just uninstall the CAW Tool and reinstall it, then the patch will work. BUT BEFORE you do that, make sure you back up any world files that you have and\or are working on.
Fernweather:
It looks like the old stuck teddy bear glitch might be back. Since updating to the latest patch, I have two sims who now have Wugglesworth teddy bears stuck in their inventories.

One glitch I've noticed so far with the new patch is that the female voices in CAS 1 and 2 are switched. This is on a fresh install on a new PC, but I wonder if anyone else has noticed this?
Can't say I've noticed this, and I specifically looked for it after you mentioned it...but my sims sound exactly as they did before. So, must be you.

After a frustrating few hours, I think I've finally managed to un-break my game, which was showing a bug with the sound that I had never seen before, nor could find mentioned here or elsewhere. I'm running the base game only with the latest patch, after uninstalling WA due to that annoying issue that there can be no two Pangu's Axes or sets of Eyes of Horus in the same game. On top of it, either the Axe or the Eyes or both would disappear on me at the slightest provocation. I do not run the AwesomeMod, although I admire JMP's work and lurk on this website quite a bit. I do not own HELS and will not buy any SP that does not come with a hot tub or a diving board.
The bug I had involved the sound: suddenly there were absolutely no game sounds whatever, apart from an endlessly looping version of ambient/street noise. No Sim speech, no sound effects from any equipment or items used (although the animations would keep going), not even any game-related sounds from clicking on items or the like. Going to Build Mode or Edit Town did nothing, nor did exiting to the main menu. I could save the game without getting a .bad file, but then could not quit without using the Task Manager. (And no, I do not have a Dell, though probably I might as well have one.) I couldn't play the game for more than a few minutes, it seemed, without this bug coming up.
I cleared every cache multiple times, deactivated any possible CC culprit (not too hard since I run a pretty lean game), rebooted my computer, made sure my sound card driver was up to date, decrapified until there was absolutely no crap to be found within a 50-mile radius of my computer, and finally ran the AwesomeMod just long enough to enter "fixall." The latter did a world of good, I'm sure, but didn't solve the problem. I would never have figured out what was the problem until by sheer luck I noticed what happened: the bug began when one of my Sims got on his bicycle to go somewhere.
Bicycle? Yes, I had traded in my Sims' car for bikes for the whole family, not out of an urgent desire to make them go green, but because the cars would also cause sound issues. Apparently changing to bicycles doesn't make it any better. So as to whether this is due simply to my particular h4xx0rz cocktail (which hasn't changed much in recent weeks), or to the patch, I cannot say -- but I suspect the patch. I had never noticed this bug before this latest patch.
So I guess, along with teddy bears (see Fernweather's post above), I can add vehicles of any kind to the list of items I must not give my Sims to use. So it's the carpool, public transportation, or travelling on foot for my toons -- until another patch comes out that solves this problem but breaks three other things that had always worked until then.
Not that I'm bitter or anything. :P
Shan:
My launcher recently went kaboom for no reason so I'm forced to install this patch from the .exe files you kind people provided. However, went I try to install them, I get "This setup has detected that the installed game region for this update is incorrect. This update requires a different game region in order to be installed." What does it mean by "game region"?
I'm sure the solution is blatantly obvious so feel free to yell and scream at me.
Edit: I think my game region is 001 but I'm not positive. So I'm guessing I need a patch that works with region 001?
