    New Patch Out!

    Complete list of changes:





    • Fixed Custom Content Browser support for Asian territories.
    • Fixed bugs related to downloadable objects.
    • Re-enables the in-game browser for Asian territories (was disabled in the previous patch).
    • Fixes "the jump bug" causing Sims with a large number of memories to reset, or "jump," when performing interactions.
    • Visitors will no longer kidnap a baby or toddler by leaving the lot while carrying them.
    • Sims can now plan outfits for toddlers by using the changing table.
    • Fixes a crash that would occur when viewing snapshots while simultaneously deleting pictures.
    • Prevents pixelization from showing through walls when the Sim is behind the wall.
    • A Sim whose fianc dies can now become engaged again.
    • Maids can now clean up pizza boxes and baby bottles.
    • Fixes problems with the grim reaper and social worker that would disable save UI.
    • The plumbbob will no longer appear in an NPCs chest when they marry into a Sim's family.
    • Sims no longer get stuck on community lots when a Sim autonomously chooses to leave in the same car that they arrived in.
    • Stargazing on the ground no longer satisfies the "Stargaze with Telescope" want.
    • Fixes a problem with Sims' jobs not functioning properly when 3 or more Sims go to work in a helicopter.
    • Babies now age transition properly when the Help With Birthday interaction is cancelled.
    • Fixes the extremely rare problem where the UI would become disabled when an elder dies of old age.
    • Fixes a problem where small objects (mostly toys) could be deleted when a Sim interacts with other nearby objects.
    • The custom content browser no longer closes when an active link is double-clicked.
    • Fixes the problem where coffee cups would occasionally be deleted when an interaction is cancelled.
    • An adopted baby no longer snaps to the ground when the social worker that delivers it puts it in a crib.
    • Sims now take a copy of all clothing in the family's inventory when they move out.
    • Fixes a couple of cases of buy/build mode becoming disabled when the social worker arrives on the lot.
    • Fixes the problem where the teddy bear would occasionally float after being put down.
    • Teens no longer get the unsatisfiable "Write a Novel" want.
    • Fixes a problem with the newspaper delivery person getting stuck on lots containing a high number of objects.

      System/Config issues:
    • Users with limited user accounts can now run the game.
    • Improved performance with Radeon X800 cards. Users continuing to experiencing problems should update to the 4.10 driver.
    • The game no longer affects a user's modem settings when connecting to the internet via the modem.
    • Fixes a problem with default collections not being available when user data is regenerated.

    Actually, what I don't think was included in the last patch were all the Asian-related fixes.

    ( I'm just full of one-liners tonight... )

    It appears to be a cumulative patch, meaning it contains all of the fixes from the previous patch, as well as the new Asian-related fixes. As I'm not experiencing any problems right now, I've chosen not to install it. Like they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. ;-)

    Same here.
    My game is running (for once) quite smoothly, and I don't want any Maxis related quirkiness messing all that up.

    Nephthys, nice avatar. I love Futurama. "Rowswell That Ends Well" is my favorite episode.
