I'm a little confused. What is the seasons digital download patch? And the sims cd/dvd patch seems to have the same name as the patch I already have. Eg sims2ep5_patch_cd.exe and that was the patch name 2 or 3 months ago. Oh I found the diferance. The latest has 48.269 kb in size. The earlier ver has 46.658 kb in size
That's the patch for the downloadable version of Seasons that you can now buy through EA's downloader. It's still a legal version of the game since you have to pay for it, but you don't get the CD, you just always have to have their software running in the background from what I understand.
Not a problem Odinmoon! I don't think it's a very popular option; personally I prefer to have my games backed up on a physical disc!
Yea me too. It costs just about the price of the game again if You have to download it a few times. lol
Ohhhh, now I get it. So, if I bought the game in the store I don't need this patch? Or do I? I haven't had any of those glitches.
This is the same patch as the one released last week aand then withdrawn because it unfixed the repair that was made in the first patch released in April (that supposedly stopped excessive baby crying). Since patching is a pain because it resets all your sims (meaning you need to get them all at home etc. before patching) you're better off with Pescado's quick hack to fix the post patch 2 problems ... I'm not patching the game for a third time!
My babies used to cry excessively and now they don't. So I think I'll take Odinmoon's advice and leave well enough alone. Besides some of those glitches sound hilarious! Levitating kids. LOL. (I had a kid witness a birth without levitating, so I think my game's OK on that front for now.)
Well so far after installing patch I seem to have no problems. There have been a few changes I have noticed. I now have Primp as an option on Sims which I never had before? And now my Straw Berry's show a beautiful red color. And thats with the plants being super happy. Before even though they were super happy , they weren't as red as they are now. I will post if I find a major glitch. Ho to add I now have the seasons weather running in sync withe my busnesses. First time Ive seen snow in the business district. lol
