          o Players will now be warned before the Social Worker takes away children for temperature neglect.
          o Skating on rinks will now increase a Sim's fitness level.
          o Children will no longer stop dancing unexpectedly as nanny plays the Rock Hammer guitar.

          o Seasonal Progression from home lot will now properly transfer to owned community lots.
          o Trash compactors can now be repaired by Service NPC Repairman.
          o Watering a plant in a greenhouse while it is raining will no longer cause the plant to weep from being overwatered.

          o Snow saved on Community Lots will now melt properly.
          o Sims will no longer take repeated baths or showers when cold.
          o Vampires will now not get out of their coffin in the daytime to watch weather.
          o Skill points gained from eggplant juice will now properly trigger wants.

What's fun about these is that the corrections now need beta testers.  Who's brave enough to find out what's broken here now?

Well eventually they might get it right...though it would probably be by accident Tongue

I don't understand this one....

Does that mean they won't age transition to YA until then?

Who would put it there and why? It seems like it would be all slanty and not very good for sitting.

I guess I'll go first since I'm still building my hood and not actually playing it, yet. So I got nothing to lose. I'll try it when I play test my lots later on tonight.

This might refer to a problem I and others have had where a Sim finishes the first semester of Freshman year, completes the final but doesn't get credit for it and has to repeat that whole semester.  I had it happen on the second semester of Freshman year also after I advanced them to the second semester via SimPE.

I haven't patched a thing since getting zapped by the first Pets patch (since removed) so you can be sure I'm not going first.  If at all.

Maybe next year.

o In Education level 7, Sims will no longer lose all their Simoleans and get demoted, but rather lose the amount shown in the UI as expected.
Thank goodness, I got hit by that 1st gen post-apoc in my current family. $200,000 simoleans gone.

Yeah, but the kids will still be butt-ugly. And what of the players who've already spawned them?

Well, now I know why one of my houses suddenly developed a bloody great tree in the kitchen that totally blocked the fridge.  I worked out that it was in neighbourhood view (there were several of them) and I couldn't delete it, so I had to move the house.  My neighbourhood is so small and desperate for property space that I will probably be forced to dowmload the patch to get rid of these trees.  Pity, because the last thing I want to do is reduce random deaths, esp. amongst townies.

I'm also somewhat confused about the teens/first semester thing.  I thought it meant they could complete the first semester before going to Uni.  Suppose the only way to find out is to play.

I had a tree right in the middle of the living room. I thought I did something stupid to make that happen. Heh, dumb-dumb...I should've known it was an added bonus.

The primp action actually increased hygiene for Sims who used it, and refreshed the water need for the plant Sims. It's actually useful if your Sim is desperate.

Heh, primping increasing water is actually a bug caused by Maxis overloading the Plantsim "water" need onto the normal-sim "Hygiene".

I wish there was a way they could prevent deaths of playable sims when they are on another lot and uncontrollable, but keep the risk higher for townies.  I wouldn't mind some of them being zapped, but I've been putting off buying the pack so my families don't die at each other's parties, or on community lots.

I think the teen uni thing is about the first semester not crediting properly.  Supposedly this was primarily a problem with Maxis created teens, thus their weird wording.  The only one who had that bug in my game though was the Ramirez girl, and that was without seasons installed. 

Guess this means I can go ahead and buy the expansion pack now.  I found Holiday Stuff on sale for $9.95 and picked it up to install after I buy seasons, and then I came home and saw the patch was announced.  But I have to finish writing a novel before I can play it anyway.

I'm not afraid to try. All I have to lose is time if I have to reinstall. *shrug* Everything else is backed up.

I even decided to do something completely different this time and have actually remembered to remove my hacks BEFORE installing the patch.  Roll Eyes  Wink

Considering I just backed my game up to install the H&M Stuff Pack, I might as well install the patch... but I don't wanna.
