The patch will be out tomorrow...

[I would also like to thank MaxoidTom for spending so much time here keeping us informed, I know I really appreciate it. Him being here has helped lessen my anger/disapointment towards the Maxis and the game.
[/quote]I too would like to thank Maxoid Tom for taking his time here .I am not mad that the patch doesnt work for me.its one of those things.after allMaxis did kind of rush to patch nightlife its hard to make a patch that is going to work for everyone when their in a hurry to get the patch out as I recall it took a few months for the base game patch to come out .I never had even a single glitch with the base game patch.perhaps the hurry that Maxis was in to get the NL patch out makes it not as smooth as the base game patch ??? frustration sums up how I felt when the issues occurred. often times no one ever tells Maxis /EA when the patch doesnt work and creates problems that did not exist prior to patching. I called and asked Tech support for help and they werent able to help :( perhaps because no one else had called them with my issues before .maybe if those that had serious patching problems like I did EA Tech support would know how to help the user correct the issues. Thanks Maxoid Tom for reading and posting here at least we know were being heard .

I don't understand that bunny thing, at all.
I understand the bunny thing. It was amusing for about a day.
Many forums I've been on have a limit of 4 lines for a signature. But this was before the Internet. Limiting signatures to two lines of 64 characters each and disabling larger fonts would go a long way toward alleviating the whole problem. Or simply allowing users the option of disabling the display of signatures altogether.

Yeah well what about those of us with NO university and NO nightlife. Some of these fixes go back to the basic game like headmaster bug. That was a major problem to me for over a month (real time) til it went away of its own accord. I don't want it back. We need an updated patch for the basic game too! I guess this is in rant mode. How about begging and pleading and yes, I did post on the main BBS. I got 2 people explaining where to get the old patch - aaarrrghhh!
I mostly visit the old EA site where maxoid and beneseekers never go. Nice friendly place though we field a lot of "will my PC run NL" posts. We had 2 posts today from people with gameplay problems post patch. One with a stuck gardener and the other still can't get his young adults back into real life. I'm looking around for any similar problems post patch and any new solutions. but not much is posted yet - I can read up on the old ones.....
The simmer with the stuck gardener also had nannies running round in their underwear and a wedding crasher who died of starvation and I think they had a stuck grim reaper too. that was all pre-patch and I'm not clear if this was all on the same lot and whether any problems disappeared, but my games are never that exciting! If that portal diagnosis tool from MTS2 is OK post patch, I'll get them to try that. First link has the gardener at the end. The second is about the nannies.

The simmer with the young adults also isn't very specific.
After my sims graduated from college, I tried to play them and I couldn't!!! It is like you entering an empty lot!!! How do I fix this problem? I have NL, and I installed the patch for it & it still ain't working!!! Will somebody tell me what to do to fix this problem?" later post " I moved them back to Pleasantview. The guy sim I moved him in with his children's mother and the other sim I moved her in her own home. I didn't throw a graduation party, because I didn't know that I had to! I did install the college clock and VK told me that it is not compatible in Night Life and I haven't installed it as of yet. I didn't think it would interfer with my game if I didn't use it. Could that be the culprit?"

The Uni Patch is the one that fixes headmaster glitch,thankfully I never had the headmaster glitch.I had the adoption glitch though looking back that was useful in a way. I had sim call the adoption service .get approved and get the spiel about the new family member arriving the next day at 10. 10 the next sim day rolled aroun,then 11,then 12 etc and no social worker and my sim couldnt call the adoption worker because the family member was allegedly on its way LOL. it made it good when I had changed my mind about that sim adopting. not so good when I still wanted my sim to adopt a child
