"Bugs are myth's" according to Maxis/Releasedate 'Hobbies'
maniac19642003:
Just saw all this at snootysims.
You may have read Maxis' response to the Bon Voyage bugs and secuROM on the Sims BBS here: MaxoidSam message
I have much respect for MaxoidSam but I completely disagree with this statement. This tourguide bug is the most critical bug ever to hit a Sims game and dismissing it as a 'myth' is a big and concerning mistake on Maxis' side.
MaxoidSam is right with saying 50 extra npc's won't harm your game. 100 or maybe even 500 extra npc's won't harm your game, but do you want all those hundreds of useless npc's in your gamedata, slowing it down, without a way of removing them? Of course not. I urge everybody to download MATY's bugfix. It's just a matter of moving it into your Downloads folder to stop the useless NPC spawning. Want to remove the patch? Just delete the file. It's that simple.
Thesims2.co.za brings the news that several online stores have started to take pre-orders for the next expansion. They are all using the work title "The Sims 2: Hobbies" which may still change. Amazon, EB games and others all gave a release date of February 12, 2008

We will be tuning down the odds that a Sim will choose to have a fight on their own considerably in a patch.
Hooray! Should have done that for Seasons...

Another EP? Already? They've only just released BV which needs patching! :oogle:
Thanks for the update though :)

Yes, MaxoidSam's attitude toward serious issues in the game aggravates me to no end. He and the rest of the team seems to believe that the doom and gloom stories of people's games being rendered inoperable due to excessive character files (which the bug in BV increases) is nothing more than a "theory."
I called him on it. He and I got in a debate where I claimed there were problems and he refused to believe it.
The thread was deleted. Maybe people who visit the BBS remember? He stickied a thread threatening to ban people who discussed the missing thread.
Gotta love censorship.
Anyways, I have a saved copy of the thread-that-is-not-to-be-named. I encourage you all to read it.
DecoraChroi:
Thank you Larenke. *kicks back with a lemonade while reading*
laurenke:
Heh. You're welcome.
Sam Player is already taking a more active role in trying to fix game issues ever since I argued with him and have been spreading the deleted post around, as evidenced by his recent postings at MATY.
Odd, huh? :P
Naturally, I am suspicious of his intentions and chalk them up to damage control and perceived good will toward the community. But at least what I said had some sort of effect.
