Something worth mentioning in this thread I think:
The new FT patch has been released. BUT according to various sources (SMBD, the more mature posters on the BBS, for example) it contains the version of SecuROM we've all been dreading will appear in Sims 3 - the one that phones home whenever you download (was going to be every 10 days), and will only let you install it either 3 times or on 3 computers, I'm still confused which one it is - remember that one? Apparently the patch is over 80MB in size (yikes!) and it's mainly down to this malware. AVOID THIS PATCH AT ALL COSTS!

So what, in fact, is this patch suppoesed to fix? And what does the "phoning home" supposedly mean? Are we putting ET's on our PCs with this patch. I am still pissed off that I added the first patch as that was a typical Maxis snafu all by itself. I am not D/Ling the new patch. TA Sadie for the heads up!
EDIT:I just checked the new patch. It is competley confusing. I really don't see any difference between what is being offered now and what was released and removed from D/L two monthes ago. The only addition may be a fix for K&B that Lord Darcy fixed long ago. Otherwise, why do I think that they are just updating the malware that they are infecting us with? Since I already have the last patch on my PC, and have no intention of adding any new EP, I will definitely pass on this one.

Phone home = connect to EA. It's a phrase I picked up from somewhere online :angel: Basically, every time you download from the Exchange or get a new patch, the program connects to the server to make sure your copy's still legal. It was gonna be to validate the game every 10 days, but thankfully they scrapped it. They've still kept the 3 install limit though ¬_¬
The patch fixes some extra stuff that was fixed eons ago by the likes of JM and Darcy. On here there's a directory of links you can click to get said fixes.
You're welcome, BTW :)

Kisses, Sadie! I am posting the link the non-EA fixes in the first post.
