THE OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATION IS NOT TO INSTALL THE PATCH DUE TO MORE SECUROM SPYWARE!
This patch offers practically nothing of value except MORE SPYWARE. AVOID!
Which is perhaps the main reason for the patch, a way to re-force SecuROM on players who managed to get rid of it. Those half-assed attempts to "fix" a few issues are just camouflage IMHO.
J. M. Pescado:
Yeah, you gotta be amazed at the amount of effort involved in creating or changing a whopping 9 functions.
Simlover:
I guess they are too busy working on their next screw up :-\

I find this explanation simultaneously oddly compelling and utterly believable.

Part of the reason the "scene" doesn't notice Sims patches is because EAxis does nothing to make them apparent. Other games have patches with clear version numbers on them. The Sims doesn't. There's ONE patch, older patches are not available, and the information that the patch even exists is never publicized.
I've never seen such a dumb way of releasing patch in any other game. Other than the URL where the patch is located (like /ep6/1.10.0.122/ in BV) on their server, there is no clue whatsoever to version or build number in the official homepage. WTF, do they think such an information will scare the sheep away? I immediately change the filename to include the version and build number after download, in case I need to go back to previous patch.
