Third Seasons Patch is out....
AnnaM:
Ok, so, first thumbs-up report: Installed the patch, loaded the game, loaded a couple of lots and played for a few minutes each -- no fireball so far.
What did happen:
- Patching failed initially on C:\Program Files\Games\Sims 2 Seasons\TSData\Res\Config\Graphics Rules.sgr. I had a .bak version for that, so I swapped it in, and patching succeeded without further hitches. (Went back and checked changes to Graphics Rules.sgr: it re-set my maxnumofvisitingsims to 8 for High, so I put it back to 24. Otherwise, it mostly seems to have replaced "forceLowResolution" with "defaultLowResolution" in several places -- sounds good to me, mind you I don't understand much about these settings...)
- As usual, the Sims on the lot were reset by the patch -- they're standing there doing nothing (including the ones who were asleep in bed when I saved) and their motives are reset. Not a worry to me because I'm always careful to wait until everybody is on the lot and nobody is on the phone or doing "dangerous" things before I save+exit, but for those who aren't as anal, take note and be anal just this once before you patch :-)
- My graphics/gameplay settings don't seem to have been changed from what I can see in the in-game Options screens. Good.
- My custom neighbourhood camera file hasn't been replaced. Good.
- Neighbourhood decoration trees definitely visible from the lot now. (Not a big difference in my game because I don't have a lot of them to start with.)
- Primping is indeed enabled without the awsome hack.
Further reports later if warranted, but so far it looks moderately safe :-)

So the patch was 47Mb+ in size, I'm glad we've got a big fat 8Mb broadband connection... and feel sorry for those on dial-up. I think I'll wait a week or so before getting round to installing in the hope that any undercover nasties make themselves known.
IAmTheRad:
antiweatherreaction seems to not be needed. The 'it's raining' or other weather reactions don't queue stomp you with the patch in place. So your sim won't wake up in the middle of the night to complain about not having enough sleep just because it's raining.
The official patch seems to have the same behaviour as the awesome hack...

I installed the patch with no problems but now my userstartup cheats file doesn't seem to be working. Anyone else have this issue?

Mine works -- both the "defaults" section (like boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true, boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true, etc.) and the alias section (like alias snap "boolProp snapObjectsToGrid"). No idea what your problem could be, sorry, just giving my data point...
