I don't know if there's a different exam bug, but the one I'm referring to is that my students get exams at ridiculous hours of the night...midnight, 1 am, etc.
Oh! I know it then.. but i hardly consider it a bug, i think this is "by design".
The only reason that your sims get exams in weird times is because when you visit community lots, they hours untill the final exam will still count, however when you go back home, the hour of the day wil lbe the same of when you left, pushing your exam to later hours.
like this: If it is 9 AM and it is 24 hours until your sim's final exam, then the final should happen at 9 AM the next day. however, if this sim visits a community lot at 10 AM (23 hours before the exam) and stays at the community lot for 7 hours, when he goes back home, it will sitll be 10 AM but it will be 15 hours untill the final exam, this means the final will now happen at 3 AM the next day, instead of 9 AM.
Then you just have to go to community lot and stay there for 7 more hours, then the final will happen at 8 PM.
This can be a little annoying if you are not exactly fond of doing some math, however i think they did it this way, so you cant get some extra hours before the exam. i mean, if your exam was going to happen at mid night and it got rescheduled to 8 AM, then you get 8 more hours to study.

I'm hardly an expert here but it seems it's more a case of not having the right checks in place to make sure the exams occur at a reasonable time. TwoJeffs has had a fix for it available for some time, but I don't think it's been verified as NL-compatible.

From what I remember TwoJeffs mentioned that if the exam bug is nixed for good (crossing fingers) he's planning on making a mod for having finals at normal daytime hours.
I'm having mixed results myself with the matchmaker. For some sims, I pay full price and get the perfect sim for them. Others, I pay the full fee and get someone I'd never have hooked them up with. Perhaps it's a difference in perception of who'd we'd marry our sims to and whom the matchmaker believes their "perfect" match is. I wonder if there would be better matches with more sims in the neighborhood. Maybe the elder that shows up on the blind date is the best match Zodiac, aspiration and personality-wise unless we fill up the "dating pool" so to speak. ;)

It is NL compatable, works in my game. Don't know about post patch though

Meh, I guess that makes sense in a way but it's still annoying...and it doesn't behave that way with regards to work in the regular neighborhood :P

Hmmm guess I am going to give it a go now and install..I think I've found all the information I can on this thing for now
*crosses fingers and jumps into the land of no return*
*edit*
Hmm..that was oddly quick and painless..I'm almost scared now lol
So now what hacks I have should be obsolete...
I'm guessing if the patch works like it should, there should be no need for...
Portal fixes and monitors
vampires don't bite NPCs
move out bug fix
no corrupt death
death fix
can anybody confirm that?
Would the LTW variety fix would fine with this..leaving it out for now as I don't know if there were any changes that would make it make something not work correctly.
