So what's been fixed in NL
RainbowTigress:
Oh yes, Ctrl+S to save game without going to Options panel is one of the things I miss most from Sims 1. I never use Q, but that one is too easy to hit accidentally. Whenever the message pops up, "Are you sure you want to quit without saving?" I panic a bit and then click Cancel.
MissDoh:
Well I did put a question that was not answered but while I was playing my game I was wondering if this was ever notice by anyone (and this is not the question that as not been answered ;) ).
In Sims 2, when I saved and then return to a lot in which a ghost was, well when I reload it was always there waiting to scare my Sims.
Since I install Univerisity I notice that the ghost that came in Pleasantview will not stay if I save and reload a lot, now this mostly apply on the Goth house lot, Caliente and Dreamer lot which are all Maxis made. I did not really notice if it was happening with the Sims that I created and died since I recently resetted my game and it was also happening before I resetted it.
Now the strangest thing is that it does not seem to happen in Veronaville or Stangetonw (though I am not a 100% sure about Strangetown), I save lot and the ghost are still there when I reload the lot.
What I wonder the most is since almost all of the Sims that died in Veronaville that were Maxis made can be brought back with the resurrect-o-nomitron but this is not true in Pleasantview nor Stangetown since only the former Dreamer wife can be brought that and I think no Sims at all can be brought back in Stangetown, well would it explain why the ghost just vanished if we saved the game at 3am (Sims time) and reload iit?
It is definetely not a major bug but it could explain why some pre-made Maxis Sims can be brought back to life and others can't.

Someone has already mentioned the fact that Family Sims don't get their "Graduate 3 Children" want satisfied if they are not present when the third comes back from their final exam, but there is also a similar problem. Popularity Sims who achieve their 20 Best Friends Lifetime Want on another lot (for instance, at a party) do not get credit, either. A box comes up saying they've achieved it, but they don't get permanent plat or the Lifetime Want memory. Similarly, we can probably also assume that if a Sim calls another Sim and they become best friends and that gives the called Sim 20 Best Friends LTW, they won't get their Lifetime Want achieved either. The second one is particularly problematic because there is no way of knowing when it's happened.
I had someone try to reproduce the "Graduate 3 Children" bug, but they were able to do so. Is it consistently reproduceable? Are there any hacks that interfere with want check trees or otherwise in the related global trees? I don't want to blame it on hacks, but we've been unable to reproduce this--perhaps we could get better repro steps? I can have someone look into the 20 best friends thing, but no guarantees...
I've had a different problem with graduations that recently affected sims with the "Graduate 3 Children" bug. It's not the bug that's been referenced here, in fact, it doesn't really have to do with the LTW itself.
Essentially, when a sim graduates, his relatives all receive the graduation memory. Well, I've found that no matter how the sim graduated, if during adulthood the sim achieves another major accomplishment that would show up on relatives' memory panels, all the relatives will also get a "[X Sim] graduated Cum Laude" memory. This affects sims with the Graduate 3 Children LTW because this counts as a graduation. I've discovered this happening when a sim reaches the top of a career, that all of his relatives receive the memory that he graduated Cum Laude. I'm not certain but it's also possible that it happens when a sim gets married.
It doesn't actually change the graduation status of the sim (that is, if he graduated Summa Cum Laude it still shows as such on his diploma) but it does count as a graduation on every relative's memory panel. This can enable sims with the particular LTW to achieve it with only one or two actual graduations.
Just something to look into, although it is a bit less significant than most of the other bugs mentioned.
Venusy:
Will the Uni/NL patch fix the problem that wasn't fixed with the first patch?
That is, the problem where the Dial-Up Connection settings are edited from "Always dial my default connection" to "Never dial a connection". While I will admit the problem has got better (it used to do it each and every time I started up Sims 2, now it only does it when I leave my internet connection running when I start the game), it hasn't been fixed as was claimed with the first patch.
