Hey, can you see my lips moving?

I'm confused. Are you saying that there is a purchasable official Maxian patch to fix this problem? This is news to me. I guess I should pay more attention to my game to see if I have the same problem...
This all has to do with the interview one of the Maxis people gave in the Netherlands. He claimed that EA/Maxis would not bother to make a Uni patch since that was just "to hard". He further claimed that all game-problems would be fixed in the next ep anyways. It caused quite an uproar, since it would basically force people to buy the ep if they want their Uni ep fixed.
It was quite an idiotic comment; if you can fix the bugs in the newest ep, why can't you put those fixes into a stand-alone patch? Easy answer: the stand-alone patch would be a free item, the ep you would have to purchase.
That's about it in a nutshell. The official board had a thread about it with a whole lot of people voicing their displeasure. Given EA/Maxis' habit of ignoring/deleting threads that critizice their stupidity, I would not be a bit surprised if this thread has also gone the way of all creation, straight into oblivion. I am however, not sure about that since I don't go onto the official board very often. I usually go straight to Reg's page to see whether there are any new goodies (hint? what hint? I don't know what you are talking about Reg.) and then I leave.

No new houses, but I got the first chapter of my (mod-ified) Legacy story up. It's rather funny, if I do say so myself, and a certain hacker is mentioned by name. ;) ----this shameless plug brought to you by The Cult of Me.
I'll see what I can do about a house this weekend. :)

I knew I'd seen that somewhere. Seems they did some backpedalling from their original statement.

We will now look into what issues we can address (are they reproducible and fixable) from the issues that have been reported. I do not have a release date for a patch at this point, nor do I have a fix list, but we will let you know as soon as we have more definitive info.
