The patch will be out tomorrow...
Motoki:
Well just make sure your objects.package is set to read only then, otherwise it can get corrupted by things like Mrs. Crumplebottom getting bitten by a vampire, which the patch does fix. The patch runs okay for me, but I'm trying to think if it fixed anything I really cared about and that I had trouble with and couldn't fix without a hack. To be honest, I can't think of anything. *shrug* But I'm kind of anal about having to have the latest updates, patches drivers etc and will gladly used beta stuff too. ;)
ZephyrZodiac:
Well, I definitely already miss some of Pescado's stuff! I'm going to have to check and see what can go back in!
But after running it through SimPE, at least the Flamingo of Contentment is working properly with no problems!
Haven't tried going downtown yet, only the community lots, so no Mrs. C. yet - but why so many more townies? They seem to be just about everywhere and coming home on the school bus in droves! Dustin's driving to school in a two seater so there's only room for him and the lodger's daughter! And although I've no problem like LTW's not matching aspirations, they're all different from previous installations! Which means Don isn't getting Brandi in this version! Besides, it would be boring to play everything the same as before.
But if you don't think the patch is causing problems, then I might go ahead and put it in.

At least you have a list of what pretty much works and what doesn't. And there's a phonehack in testing the more or less works and does let you turn the ringer off. A lot of us early adopters didn't have that. :(

I think it should be fine. It fixes among other things some weird bug where Dustin brings Angela home every day heh, or so I hear. I don't play Pleasantview. ;)
After you patch, set the objects.package in the NL subdirectory to read-only again (the patch resets it to writeable) and also make a backup copy and stash it somewhere. The patch modifies it so if it ever gets corrupt and you use the one off the CD it won't be the latest updated patch version with the fixes.

The only thing I noticed with the phonehack, is when sims are 'calling friends' the icon in their queue reads 'manage groups' I think, though I didn't report it as I saw a post someone had already made on it. I use 'call family' and 'call friends' and haven't had a problem yet.
ZephyrZodiac:
Thanks both of you for the advice, I think I will go ahead with it. Haven't had the angela problem (which actually began in Sims2 itself) as I motherloded and put the brokes in the big new Townhouse, with a lodger and his daughter down in the basement. And of course, I've made sure that both he and Brandi are turned on by the same things! And dustin is hitting it off really well with the daughter, so as long as I don't let Brandi get married until they've left home, it should work out fine! (But I'll definitely leave that up to them! I've always found Dustin is pretty good at making up his mind what and who he wants - once Angela is out of his life and he's quit his job, anyway!
