I do believe this update severely borked CAW, and yet to see how the game fares.
You haven't checked? Why was this post necessary?
No, as in i know this update has severely ruined CAW loading times, and reduces it to a pulp. The game loaded up fine, however, this patch is almost automatically bad news, what with 2 things "fixed"

CAW has been borked since birth.
The game itself loads faster for me than before the patch, fwiw.
Claeric:
I think they optimized loading a bit, both initially and in-game. When I go to a lot now, the sims on it are usually low quality and then eventually become regular, high quality. I have never seen this happen before the patch. As a result, things are consistently smooth instead of slowing down to load a lot and all the sims on it- seemingly because it's doing it gradually with sims, when before it would only gradually load the lot (with objects not popping into view or being devoid of texture for a little bit as the game streamed them).
In fact, I personally never saw a sim or a car in low LOD mode. They were always high LOD. But I've already noticed today alone that sims will enter into low LOD mode as they walk a certain distance away, and cars will do the same.

If this is true, this should be listed as one of their "fixes". Or at least fix some stuff before bloating the game with a bazillion more hot tubs.
I'm only installing the patch whenever AM requires it or when my copy expires. I hope it won't be for a very long time.
