Ugh.

Nothing personal. Just: ugh.

Perhaps the thread title should be renamed to reflect the new patch numbers? Or start a new thread.

Thanks for the links, I can't get the cumulative links to work though. I think these should be in the format http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/TS3_1.19.44.010002_Update.exe

It's JUST a base game patch? What else is there? What does it do?

At this time EA haven't even officially announce the new patch.

Yeah, it hasn't been officially announced, and thus doesn't show up on the MTS Patcher OR the dread launcher.  This is a non-patch for now.

Well, the number of fixes is rather disappointing.

Version numbers are 1.19.44, 2.14.4, 3.10.4, 4.7.4, 5.5.4 and 6.2.4. FWIW, Outdoor Living has 7.0.55.

When I picked up Outdoor Living, it was forced on me when I installed it (this was a couple of days ago), and didn't ask if I wanted to update.  

The only way I knew that a patch had occurred was that it immediately conflicted with AM...and told me that it conflicted and WHY it conflicted and would not even load the game until I had removed the conflict.  Then, when the game did load, it listed the NON-conflicting 'core mod' of the WooHooer as being active.  I was very surprised; it seemed forward-thinking for EA, as after-the-fact as such a feature is.

Wow, EA sure got lazy with their patching. How many borked corrections were in the last one---100?

Over 9000 would be more accurate.

My guess is that this was a minor patch to coincide with OLS, not a dedicated patching effort.

It comes with two whole fixes! Now I'm wondering if it broke anything.

It's an EA patch - of course it broke something.

Woot, since upgrading to the new patch my ghost buster doesn't get credit for banishing ghosts no more.

Hint: a double negative makes a positive.

The bug is not surprising, though.

Not sure if this coincides with the new patches or OLS, but I haven't patched to 1.19/2.14/3.10/4.7/5.5/6.2 and I cannot install the Olympian Physique Set. The launcher states my game needs to be updated to install.

Strange, I had no problem installing the set yesterday and I didn't update to 1.19 until tonight.

I get that message whenever I haven't decrapified the files first. You are decrapifying the files, yes?

I'll get the honesty out of the way and state I'm too stupid to figure out decrapifying. The board specific jargon, while amusing, tends to be confusing to me at times. That's a known issue on my side, but I'll see about reading through the decrapifying process and test.

My problem with the new set may not be linked with the new patch, but wanted I to mention it before I install OLS and patch. This was in the case of me installing and updating without being able to install still or reporting success.

I'll attempt decrapification of the file, test, and post results. When I'm finished, I'll lurk moar.

Yeah, dragging a sims3pack file and dropping it on top of an exe file can be really difficult for amateurs.  Best wear safety goggles.

You DRAG files? That is so passé.
I have a batch file. Double click and it's done.

File decrapified. Successful installation.

Since the last time I searched for decrapifying, there weren't as many tutorial threads posted. I hadn't needed to decrapify anything until just now. Thank you for reminding me about decrapifying as it had yet to occur to me that might have helped. You're help, intended or not, is appreciated.

I will now resume lurking, as stated above.

I do believe this update severly borked CAW, and yet to see how the game fares.

You haven't checked? Why was this post necessary?

No, as in i know this update has severely ruined CAW loading times, and reduces it to a pulp. The game loaded up fine, however, this patch is almost automatically bad news, what with 2 things "fixed"

CAW has been borked since birth.

The game itself loads faster for me than before the patch, fwiw.

I think they optimized loading a bit, both initially and in-game. When I go to a lot now, the sims on it are usually low quality and then eventually become regular, high quality. I have never seen this happen before the patch. As a result, things are consistently smooth instead of slowing down to load a lot and all the sims on it- seemingly because it's doing it gradually with sims, when before it would only gradually load the lot (with objects not popping into view or being devoid of texture for a little bit as the game streamed them).

In fact, I personally never saw a sim or a car in low LOD mode. They were always high LOD. But I've already noticed today alone that sims will enter into low LOD mode as they walk a certain distance away, and cars will do the same.

If this is true, this should be listed as one of their "fixes". Or at least fix some stuff before bloating the game with a bazillion more hot tubs.

I'm only installing the patch whenever AM requires it or when my copy expires. I hope it won't be for a very long time.

So...  nowish?

Until my copy of AM expires, my game is staying unpatched.

Well just found one very minor bug fix in the new patch, vampires are now properly centred when sleeping on their slabs. Bridgeport inventors, however, remain thoroughly borked when it comes to trying to build their first Simbot. Not sure if the Well Rested moodlet has been fixed, need to load a non-vampire family and test that.

The only real change I've noticed is the shortcut "rbbb off" now actually works, instead of all that tedious typing. Loading times remain the same; the lights are still borked; the el cheapo floors (basic or whatever they're called, under miscellaneous) still utilise the wrong footstep sounds and my sims still insist on spamming "ask to get in" in all posh bars and nightclubs. So much so, in fact, I've scrapped that LN hood and gone back to a hood that just works.

That's an AwesomeMod fix. I didn't detect any changes to the code there when updating, so it is likely still broken in base.

What about Create a World Tool update to 1.11.4. if not registered to official site?

There is a direct link - no registration required  ;)
