Looks like quite a few of our concerns have been dealt with - but yet again we have to sort out out hacks folders!  Thanks for the info, though, Blue!

I can see an update which should theoretically make outdated Squinge's Small Business for Teens mod, as well as syberspunk's SS lottery fix.

And it looks like they FINALLY fixed the nanny schedule…

And the thumbnails for those sofas!  Does that mean they fixed the sofas too, I wonder, and made them the right colours to match the armchair and the lounger?

Me too, but I asked Heather Castillo at SimFreaks to make some recolours of it because it was so horrible, and when she tried she said the faults had been "baked into" the coding and couldn't be fixed.  Which means they would need to  have removed them from the game files and replaced them with good ones.  Heather said she thought two different people must have worked on them, which makes sense maybe one of them was still learning and no-one thought to check their work?

They're part of the Mission set that came with OFB. There's quite a lot of it, beds, coffee tables, tables, chairs etc.

I wonder if they fixed those stupid Mission dining chairs that my sim kids (Tessa Ramirez comes to mind) always seem to get stuck behind?  I don't even use the Mission stuff because of that.

Trouble is, it's in the furniture store and loads of other business lots as well as houses, so you have to get rid of it, it just looks so awful!

Doesn't say they fixed those chairs - they seem to have the same problems you got with some chairs back with the base game!

Is it me, or does the FFS patch only have 2 FFS related things in it?

"Family Fun Stuff clothing assets will no longer disappear"—What is the second one?

For all intents and purposes, FFS *is* OFB with the business part ripped out/disabled unless OFB is also installed.

Would be the second one.

A stretch I know, but still. Smiley

You have no idea how much I rejoiced when I discovered that sims no longer get stuck in corners after eating dinner at a table situated in the corner like they did in the Sims 1. It was SOOO frustrating designing dining rooms with enough space to let someone sit all away around the table.

I think this might refer to characters like the Social Worker & the Car Pool Drivers.

Maybe Bella and Ms. Crumplebottom?

I am pretty sure you are allowed to date the Grand Vampire and the Mr. Big and whatnot. Along with delivery personel and firemen and such.

I can see the Social Worker causing problems (if she was in the pool in the first place)

This is the second patch, came out today.  So if you haven't, you should, although you should of course remove your hacks (and backup your game).

Yes, well, does installing it cause everything to reset? And Fat Head, go send me a new objects.package to scan. Chop-chop.
