New Computer-Install and Patching Question
SimVeggie:
I'm getting a new computer and I was wondering if its better to install all exps and stuff packs, and then patch at the end? Or patch in-between each exp and stuff pack?
Also to install Riverview (and perhaps the other EA worlds) do you still need to install before World Adventures?
Its been a very long time since I had to do a clean install and I would be very grateful for some clarification!

I would install each game in order of release, patching as it prompts you. Then use the patching tool from MTS. Then install your framework and any cc, store or otherwise. You need to decrap any store items not paid for.
SimVeggie:
Thank you for the reply, that sounds like the safest way to go. I know the way things are done can change with an update, and wanted to make sure install patch install was still the best way to go.
witch:
OTOH I went straight through, just installing in order. Each release does a min patch/update of the prior release as part of the install process. Then at the end I applied the latest super patch. I have had no problems with this approach, I have done it twice now. It's a lot quicker, I would imagine, than waiting for patches in between each install. It also feels cleaner to me in terms of programming.
jezzer:
In the beginning, each EP and SP had to be patched alongside the basegame, but that changed with Generations, I think. The MTS patching tool should pick up any missing patches you have.
