EA have actually patched an expansion before it's even been released? Title: Re: Patch 1.63 Post by: Dr Liam Stupid on 2013 October 18, 19:26:42 I'm waiting for a list of things that this patch broke.

Title: Re: Patch 1.63 Post by: Skoria_bay on 2013 October 20, 01:04:20 Has anyone passed on the Patch so that AM can be updated?
Title: Re: Patch 1.63 Post by: MrMugg on 2013 October 20, 13:54:31 So...
Patch before getting the expansion, or patch afterwards? Gotta love EA logic. Can't wait to see what mess they serve us with Sims 4! Title: Re: Patch 1.63 Post by: Dr Liam Stupid on 2013 October 20, 20:39:33 The patch also adds a new and very stupid (and kinda slower than the previous) interactive loading screen.
Title: Re: Patch 1.63 Post by: uknortherner on 2013 October 21, 09:11:01 The patch also adds a new and very stupid (and kinda slower than the previous) interactive loading screen. Also, more advertising for their crappy Store if you have Store Mode enabled, and a buy now button for TS4. As far as I can see, TS4 will consist of TS1-level gameplay (and AI) and a shitload of popups for real-money purchases. Title: Re: Patch 1.63 Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2013 October 22, 02:05:20 As usual for an expansion patch, the carnage is extensive. It will take some time to generate the next update. I will try to have the test version available by the weekend.

Instead of paying $50 for TS3 when it first came out, I decided to give it a try when I found the base game at GameStop for $20. My launcher teases me with 1.63 (I now have teh intarwebs, yay) but I go to update my game and the stupid thing tells me it can't connect to Origin. Last year I moved and just didn't bother to reestablish Internet service right away. I have Origin, but I wound up with it because I purchased SC4 as a download, so I could make neighborhoods for TS2. I guess I'll have to simply download it instead of using the launcher. Title: Re: Patch 1.63 Post by: bitterquill on 2013 October 23, 14:24:07 Using Origin is not recommended. Updating via the Launcher isn't either. Just get the patch downloader from MTS.
Title: Re: Patch 1.63 Post by: MrsCrumplebottom on 2013 October 23, 14:25:36 Yeah, I've been hearing some negative things about Origin and the launcher, so that's what I'm going to have to do. No biggie.
I had installed the super patcher up to 1.57, but I should still be able to do incremental patching from that point, shouldn't I? Title: Re: Patch 1.63 Post by: Rubyelf on 2013 October 24, 09:02:01 And as usual if I do get TS4 I'll wait for the price to come down first. That's why sites such as Arrrg Bay was invented. I mean to be honest...I don't want to give anymore money to EA after their craptacular failure that is Sim City 2013.

All well and good if you live in a country that hasn't blocked it yet of course. Then again, with a lot of EA's "games" these days, once you strip away the shitty DRM, there's very little of substance left.
