The patch will be out tomorrow...
nectere:
I am pretty sure there is a "call anyone" mod over at MTS2, I dont know if it works with nightlife or not though.
Has anyone tested the love potion out since installing the patch? That was my biggest glitch and I havent tested it yet.

It works okay for me, but then again I'm probably not a good person to ask since I never had a problem with it in the first place. :-\

Hmm, I just noticed the speakers keep reseting to stereo still every time I start the game even though I keep changing them every time to 5.1. :P

Vampires biting Mrs. Crumplebottom should no longer corrupt your objects.package file. Teen vampire skin should be fixed as well (at least I brought it up).
I'm not sure about the Gypsy giving bad dates. Perhaps you are not paying enough. Or perhaps you just don't like what your sim got.
Ooh, thanks MaxoidTom for takin the time to respond :D I was wondering where you were. Heheh. And it's good to hear that certain things have been fixed. I was wondering why the NL bug list was so sparse... and I've seen that some people have already mentioned that certain things haven't been fixed yet. I recall that you said there might be a need for a 2nd patch since a lot of the other bugs that were submitted probably wouldn't have made it in time for the 1st patch. Still... I'm a sort of ::) patient man. I mean... if I can wait for Pescado to get his EP and update his hacks, then I suppose I could wait for another patch as well. That probably means I won't even really play NL until the next EP comes out. Hehe ;D Or maybe by that time, the holiday add-on will have arrived. Hopefully there shouldn't be any significant code changes from that.
Anyhew... so I dug around and found this. Ancient Sim's post about their (her/his?) experience with the matchmaker. I definately recall reading that they paid full price and still got a dud date. And I think they also mention that one of their sims got a decent date, and only paid a paltry sum of some sort, well at least definately less than the full price. I would have thought that paying full price was supposed to get you a better match. I am now wondering what exactly the search algorithm would be for finding this match. :P Is it soley based on personality, potential chemistry, does it only consider "zodiac sign" compatibility or are all factors (zodiac, aspiration, turn ons/offs) considered? I would have expected this to work somewhat like the resurrection bit, where the better you pay, the better the results.
Anyways, here is Ancient Sim's post:

OK, these Matchmaker women. I may be wrong, but I think they are related to the nannies. I swear they take no notice whatsoever of Turn-On & Turn-Offs, but I also think they have a very sick sense of humour.
I'm not sure where I mentioned this (I thought it was here but I can't find it), but yesterday I was in a house wherein live two single females fresh from Uni. One of them (Janice Royce, former SS dormie) paid full-price for a date and was sent some new townie called George Miller. They got on fairly well, although he seemed more enamoured with her than she was with him. The next day her roommate (Arabella Goth, snooty daughter of Bella & Mortimer) paid full price for a date and was given ... George Miller. They got on OK, but George obviously preferred Janice because as soon as the date ended he was swooning over her. Arabella bought another date and was sent Remington the maid. He wasn't in the least bit interested in her and much preferred to watch the telly.
Today I got recently-graduated Desdemona Goth-Dreamer (daughter of Cassandra & Darren and auntie to Arabella) to pay full price for a date. She's never had a boyfriend in her entire life, because she's so shy. She was given ... George Miller. He had clearly had enough because he just walked past her into the house and there wasn't even a date meter. Desdemona therefore paid full-price for another date and got an old man on his last legs who finally got around to telling her a joke after he'd finished rubbing his poor aching back (like they do). At that point I exited out without saving.
With someone, can't remember who, I paid full-price then immediately after paid hardly anything. The cheapo date was the only one out of ALL the dates I tried that matched a Turn-On. Either the entire dating thing is backwards way on, or what you pay makes no difference.
This could very well be just a result of the search algorithm, and maybe these players have all just been unlucky (all of them? :P) Or... maybe this is by design and sims are actually getting suckered out of their hard-earned simoleons by the greedy, shifty, shady matchmaker? I mean... after all, she is a Gypsy... ::) Perhaps this is some kind of sociocultural comment by Maxis? I mean... would you trust some crazy woman in a funky dress, just showing up at your front step out of no where, and loitering around trying to solicit a matchmaking service door-to-door. I don't know about you, but just how reliable and trustworthy would that seem? LOL. :D

Dang it, while inviting visitors over to dorms is better (I'm at least able to interact with them for the most part), my Sim still lost the ability to interact with one of his visitors for a while. I did still have my hacks in, so maybe something was interfering. Next time I'm in a dorm I'll try it without any hacks.
ETA: They couldn't reproduce the exam bug?!? I get it just about every other semester!! :P I'm going to start taking screenshots every time it happens and send a big fat zip file to EA :P

Please turn on testingCheatsEnabled, reproduce the bug, and when the error occurs, retrieve the appropriate object error text file in your My Docs\The Sims 2\Logs\ directory and submit it to the official bug form.
