Hm, is that the only major p2 bug that's come to light? I'm trying to keep track -- haven't installed it yet and do not intend to until I'm reasonably sure it won't cause any problems, since I'm not having any serious problems NOW and I'd like to keep it that way. -.-

Sweet! That didn't take long :D

The only other major problem I've heard of is that lots built on patched games can cause problems for users with unpatched games. If you don't upload or download houses, then it's not a problem :)

the only other bug I've read about is some people aren't getting any Diplomas for their sims when they graduate, that bug can be gotten around with twojeffs buyable reward collections

I was wondering why this was happening. Stupid maxian bugs. Most of the second generation capps couldn't graduate with honors.

Thank you, this is great! ;D  I am thinking more seriously about installing the new patch now that this bug has been fixed.  I'm concerned about the other bugs as well, though.

Thank you!  I hadn't experienced the bug, but I believe in being proactive.

YAY!  I've been holding off on playing my Uni-fied sims while waiting for this to be fixed.

is this "second patch" offered as "the patch" on the Maxis website?  I only see one for NL there.


Title: Re: Final Exam Fix For NLp2
Post by: BlueSoup on 2006 February 26, 00:39:31
Yes, the official site doesn't split them up.  The patch currently on the official site is the second NL patch.  They have amalgamated the two into one.

I haven't touched Uni in hopes that this bug would be fixed.  I believe in being "proactive" too!   ;D  Thank you so much!

Thank you for getting rid of this bothersome bug. I really needed this fix and can't tell you how much I appreciate this.

Just a quick question:  If I don't install the 2nd NL Patch, which final exam patch should I be using, and where do I find it?  ???   :P

None. This was an old bug that had already been fixed by Maxis and was somehow reintroduced by NLp2. (I still haven't installed it either. Not convinced yet. :P)

Argghhhh!!!!  Stupid f***ing Maxis!  My Sims keep missing their final exams when they are going.   >:( (Just had to vent).

I thought this hack was included in the Director's Cut, but I guess it's not yet.

I notice too it was not included and neither is the gradmemoryfix though they are listed to be safe to use.

It was supposed to be, but it probably got lost in the packing material. I'll put it in the next update along side the Skillination of Badges and Other Assorted Shinies Specifically For OFB.

Was this really fix with the OFB patch are do we still need it?


Title: Re: Final Exam Fix For NLp2

Anyone?


Title: Re: Final Exam Fix For NLp2
Post by: Emma on 2006 March 24, 17:16:53
I think it was fixed with the OFB patch, I have put 2 lots of students through a semester, and they all went to exams as normal :)


Title: Re: Final Exam Fix For NLp2
Post by: jsalemi on 2006 March 24, 18:22:47
Yes, the OFB patch fixed it -- I purposely sent a student to finals at the same time as she has a class scheduled, and there were no problems.


Title: Re: Final Exam Fix For NLp2

Thank you very much Emma and jsalemi.  I will move it out of my download folder now.

OFBp1 fixed it, so this is no longer necessary for OFB p1+ games, but it won't hurt.
