missing icons from multi gen families, greek amnesia, npcs and townies amnesia when brought into play, death tombstone and inheritence bug, baby lecture, stuck bills, repoed diploma, some party bugs...just a few off the top of my head.

I tried posting this on MTS2 but it got deleted....

So, does anyone know what bugs have been patched in NL?

It's great to have you here.  You are very brave.  It's something to have a Maxoid here in this most irreverent of forums!

Thanks for coming by and sharing the helpful info with us.  You're definitely not hated, we're just unimpressed with the behavior of your bosses. I'm more than happy to keep constructively pressing for a list of fixes and that all future support be provided in a timely manner.

I'm sure the top priority for most of us is fixes for the big things, the bugs that cause the huge fireball visable from outer space. We just want to be able to play without tearing our hair out. Reduction of daily stress is the reason why I want to play, so as you can imagine I don't want to do anything that adds to the stress level. 

Hope you'll come by more often if you are able. 

Okay well that's all good news pretty much. Any chance for a list of what was fixed either on Sims2.com or on the Nightlife CD?

With regards to fixing the Greek level 6 bug with Nightlife or for that matter fixing any University specific features, I doubt it will.

The reason I say this is Nightlife was created so that it only requires the main T2S game and can be installed with or without University. The only way they could fix something University specific that doesn't exist at all in the main game is to include that functionality, or at very least the basic code, with Nightlife. We know they aren't going to include all the University functionality and features because that would kill any remaining sales of University. It's possible they could include the code somehow and just not enable it, but as rushed as they seemed to be with these games and expansion packs, I somehow doubt they'd spend time on something like that.

Supposedly they are now claiming, contrary to what they have said in the past, that there will be a patch for University. That along with user created fixes like J.M.'s and TwoJeff's are probably the best we can hope for. I also expect that the Greek Amnesia fix will be far from the only hack that doesn't work with Nightlife either.

Edit: I just saw MaxoidTom's reply in the other forum and apparently at least with the Greek Amnesia bug (which is different than the Greek level 6 pledge bug) they actually have modified the underlying code so that Nightlife will fix it. So it seems it's possible with other University bugs too but there's no official list and of those who currently have the game I haven't seen any reports of which existing bugs it does or does not fix so I guess we will just have to wait. Supposedly, some people in the US should start getting the game today.

For example, there is no possible way you could have been responsible for the last ice age.

This is basically meaningless, and simply states that global override hacks will have to be checked and updated at every expansion pack. Trivial and obvious, really. Don't use hacks for versions of the game they weren't intended for. Duh.

Was that a jab at those of us who have been bitching nonstop on the forums about a Uni patch?  That's sweet, Tom... really sweet.
