Third Seasons Patch is out....
Invisigoth:
You all might attack me for this, but long, long ago I beta tested for Maxis, for TSO. ::hides:: Although, I did mention to them that they were basically just setting up a giant pointless brothel.
Warning, more of my excessive opinions ahead!
Maybe I'm dense, but I just don't see much point in patching anymore. MATY hacks are working just fine, and they allow me the flexibility to pick and choose which things I want patched. For example, how incompetant must you be to have problems with your sims getting squitted too easily from lightning? I've almost never seen an accidental death PERIOD and never from lightning. Just for fun, before I made my clean 'hood, I rounded up the classic Maxis townies I hated and killed them. It took FOUR smite actions from the lot debugger to kill Goopy. And then he ended up starving to death, so I got an annoying starvation ghost instead of a cool electrocution ghost. Not that I really cared, I only played that 'hood for another day before the sim apocolypse happened and a new clean hood rose anew.
Although I have also been lucky, and while I have experienced some of the crying baby issues, it's only been occasional (mostly with babies with high outgoing), so it's actually kind of spiced things up for me. I don't use a controllable baby hack, but I kind of intuited that a new born baby will probably need a few things straight off the bat; some love and affection, some food, and a bath. Then they probably want to sleep from all that exausting being born stuff. I also haven't had the education career problems, and if I do experience them, well, it's not like money is really hard to get in this game anyway. But for a majority of the things on the "fix" list, JM already has a fix that we KNOW works. The rest, eh...don't we all complain enough that we don't get enough random consequences for our little simmies actions?
The only thing that really tempts me is having a teen start college from home, but with rampage I don't need to pay attention to the boring parts, and I can just focus on the friend/potential mate meeting and befriending part. Plus with ACR uni is hysterical now. ;)

Lightning has always only had a 1% chance of actually inflicting an instakill on hit. Otherwise it will kill by motive depletion, as it applies -50 hunger per strike. It also happens to inflict -150 bladder, so your sim will almost assuredly piss itself.

Right, that's my point. Lighting is a very funny way to torment bad sims, but its not nearly deadly enough! I demand accidental death!
Even when I did the hostel challenege I only wound up with two dead sims, after two seperate groups of 8 went through the same house. Two died in the first group, and the second group wound up with two of the sims getting pregnant and surviving to labor (at which point I obviously had to intervene to name the babies as they were born, but did nothing else to help them). The closest I've come to an accidental death (other than the hostel, obviously) in the last year was when a pregnant sim caught fire making crepes suzette. Unfortunately, I had a smoke detector so she lived; no zombie baby for me :(

Patch 2 for seasons!
o Sim Babies no longer cry excessively
Holy shit, it may be worth getting just for that.
Then don't just yet.
They pulled another Maxis:

Crying babies un-fixed with Patch 2
Yep, we know. We goofed. Also toddlers and babies waking up too fast. It's basically the same fix that affects both things. We'll update the patch, re-build, test, and re-post as soon as we can. Sorry, guys.

AHAHAHAHAH.
Now I'm glad I didn't bother with the patch.

What about the others? Do they need updating? Were these actually fixed? Can we assume that, since they are still in the updated DC, they are still needed/compatible?
Everything is either updated or does not need changes.
