Yes.

I have the new Mansion and Garden Stuff Pack but not AL--should I download this too? I seen in My latest EP is FT.

jsalemi:
M&G actually acts like an EP, and it uses the AL engine, so you should get AL versions of your hacks and mods.

Wow are you serious!!!111oneone Is there like a thread that states this because this is news to me. Do I have to get the official AL patch too?

Do other stuff packs work like this; say you have only NL and FFS and/or GLS; do you have to get the OFB patch and hack/mods?

Uuuungh...

jsalemi:
You can tell by what disk you need to start the program.  FFS and GLS were based on the OFB engine, so if you only had NL, you had to start from the SP disk, and thus needed the OFB versions of the hacks/mods. However, if you had a later game (say Pets or Seasons), you'd start from that disk, and thus need the appropriate hacks for that EP.

M&G is unique in that it came out as an SP after AL (which is in theory the last EP), but doesn't use AL to start -- you have to run from the M&G disk.  And its based on the AL engine.  And yes, there were numerous threads on this issue in the Podium and RetardoLand after M&G came out.  You would have found them after a quick site search.

As for patches, no -- they're specific to the EP or SP.  If you don't have AL, you don't install the AL patch (it won't install anyway if you try). If and when an M&G patch comes out, you'd install that.
