IMPORTANT - Free Time EP major bug fix mod out!

[Sam the T-man]

DON'T download that patch unless you fancy having the updated version of SecuROM on your machine - you know, the 3 install limit one?

Patch 1 doesn't fix the critical aspirations bug either, I've found. Patch 2 does I think, but see above.

I have never patched any of my Sims 2 games..
They all work perfectly.
Even Freetime works flawlessly.. True i had to restart it a couple times before my custom content showed up, But all my content even the animation ones work just like they should..
 
Maybe the next time you install the Sims 2 games try it without any patches and see if it works like it does for me...

Really Coolz?
Try to woohoo in cars

btw, the 3rd and hopefully the last patch came out a while back.
Almost all bugs fixed, except woohoo in cars lol
But this patch did fix my cd rom issue's finally!!!

I don't really know. I've not downloaded the patch because I hear nothing but bad things about it. Maybe try to copy your entire EA folder and sub-folders and uninstall the game, then re-istall it and restore the copied folders in place of the ones the game creates first time it runs, and don't download the patch. This may or may not work depending on where the patch makes it's changes. I have the game on both XP and VISTA, and will take your messages as additional warnings to avoid the patch. Good luck!

Also, if the patch is creating problems for windows, it may be the securom software itself that is the problem.
