They are holding off on the pc patch for the moment.
Screens were posted of the make-up per outfit options The career outfits The achievement system Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2012 March 01, 21:51:54 Now we'll just have to wait until the PC version comes out, then the enpatchening can begin. yay.

Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Turd Ferguson on 2012 March 02, 01:18:53 What kind of Achievements could you have in The Sims? Especially when you can cheat your ass off.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2012 March 02, 01:26:59 Technically, you can't normally cheat THAT much. Presumably these achievements involve more than maxmotives and motherlode can give you. Or perhaps there's an achievement for actually making your ass fall off by cheating.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: nikkiforest on 2012 March 02, 01:45:59 I am not letting this crap anywhere near my game until AM and my NRaas mods are updated. I refuse to have the borkination of crappy vanilla EA.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: alaira on 2012 March 02, 02:16:42 What kind of Achievements could you have in The Sims? Especially when you can cheat your ass off. I purchased the base game, so I have a profile on their site and you can actually see the "badges" that it's possible to earn(not sure if any are hidden or not). There's bronze, silver, gold, platinum and some special ones at the end. They're all for stupid shit. Bronze is like "have a sim visit the bookstore" "have your sim sing 5 karaoke duets", etc. Silver is stuff like "have a sim make 15 enemies" or "have an insane sim talk to themselves 15 times". Gold is "have a sim get the natural born performer moodlet 45 times". Platinum is "have your sim ride the mechanical bull on the hardest setting 100 times". So, basicly, it's just stupid repetitive things and the numbers keep getting bigger as the badges get "harder". Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: virgali on 2012 March 02, 04:27:29 Here's the complete list: http://simsvip.com/?page_id=7397
You can also view them on the new MyPage at thesims3.com. Some are very easy (bronze) and others are rather difficult (platinum). SimsVIP reported that some have a time limit also. They will be updating with more achievements and some can only be done if you have the proper expansion pack. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Tarise on 2012 March 02, 04:41:36 I am not letting this crap anywhere near my game until AM and my NRaas mods are updated. I refuse to have the borkination of crappy vanilla EA. Twallan's already updating his mods. Here's the status on his site: http://nraas.wikispaces.com/State+of+the+Mod Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: virgali on 2012 March 02, 05:08:37 I am not letting this crap anywhere near my game until AM and my NRaas mods are updated.

Here's the status on his site: http://nraas.wikispaces.com/State+of+the+Mod Wouldn't it make more sense to wait until SHT gets released? Some people will have the game by Friday. Which is today where I live.

They will be updating with more achievements and some can only be done if you have the proper expansion pack. Wow, they're just as stupid and pointless as the achievements on any other games. Way to add nothing of value, EA. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: IAmTheRad on 2012 March 02, 14:29:20 The chieves add nothing of value to the game except meaningless grinding, like Memories added nothing worthwhile. Probably Simport will be useless, and all the 'unlockables' will be able to be activated via a mod.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: notouching on 2012 March 02, 14:41:40 The chieves add nothing of value to the game except meaningless grinding, like Memories added nothing worthwhile. Probably Simport will be useless, and all the 'unlockables' will be able to be activated via a mod. As far as I can tell, you must be online and logged in to the sims 3 site in order to unlock achievements. This leads me to believe that the rewards will be downloaded the same way memories rewards were downloaded, which is pretty crappy. I have no desire to grind crappy achievements nor would I wish it upon someone else.

I have no desire to grind crappy achievements nor would I wish it upon someone else. It's been common knowledge for a while now that the Simport rewards are in the game. You won't have to download them and you won't find them in buydebug. Modders will be able to unlock them just like they do with other "hidden" objects in the game. Although you need to connect to get the achievement badge on your MyPage, the progress of the achievement is tracked in-game even when you play offline. As soon as you connect to the internet, you'll be rewarded and it'll get posted on your wall. There's no way to prevent this from happening and all you can do is delete the posts afterwards.

I see, thank you for clarifying that. I have not been interested in Showtime whatsoever and have not bothered to follow any information about it, as you can clearly see by my total lack of common knowledge. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: virgali on 2012 March 02, 18:54:14 I see, thank you for clarifying that. I have not been interested in Showtime whatsoever and have not bothered to follow any information about it, as you can clearly see by my total lack of common knowledge. Well there's no point in speculating about things we already know about. I've noticed that sometimes it gets out of hand and a lot of misinformation gets spread that way. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Turd Ferguson on 2012 March 02, 19:16:55 So if the Achievements are a bunch of triggers in game, could we not technically make a mod that flips the switches on all those achievements in one stroke?
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: IAmTheRad on 2012 March 02, 20:39:23 From what I've done from testing in my non-modded game, you need to be logged into your TS3 account to access the achievements. It's annoying that they are pushing the social aspect SO damn much with TS3 now. If you're logged in, you get a constant status bar type thing where you can update your simwall.
EA, you're not Facebook. You're closer to failbook than anything, and stop trying to get something that you're not. You annoy people enough with Sims Social. EDIT: The gym buff is STILL broken. It takes a user like 5 seconds to fix the xml file, but it's been a little under 3 years since it was broken and EA still hasn't fixed their fuckup. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: nikkiforest on 2012 March 03, 03:31:54 Hopefully there are ways to play the features of SHT without all the social features invading. Because from what I've heard, the EP is really a nice release without the social features. As long as I have a mod to unlock reward objects, it's all good.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2012 March 03, 11:36:59 Of course there are ways, even if I have to MAKE those ways.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Turd Ferguson on 2012 March 03, 16:41:28 Nothing to do now but wait for AwesomeMod to update.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: sabrieljo on 2012 March 03, 18:23:06 I've got a beautiful badge for visiting the bookshop - achievement 1 of 51 woohoo (different context)
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: sarikuya on 2012 March 03, 23:07:58 Can anyone install the PC version of the patch yet? I tried, getting that lovely 'no file found' error.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: kissing_toast on 2012 March 03, 23:33:29 Can anyone install the PC version of the patch yet? I tried, getting that lovely 'no file found' error. Using the patch tool from MTS works. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: IAmTheRad on 2012 March 03, 23:37:03 Well, the game will nag you if you don't log in to log in. Hopefully AwesomeMod will be able to remove the nag screen.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Capitaine Marie on 2012 March 04, 06:45:31 I installed the new test version of AM but haven't played the game yet. Still, I trust Pes' test versions more than EAxis'
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Turd Ferguson on 2012 March 04, 17:15:17 Could someone please provide me a link to the Awesome Mod Test version page? I swear I wont lose it again.
EDIT: Nevermind, found it. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Turd Ferguson on 2012 March 04, 20:41:29 Well this is fucking unprecedented. Previously when I've played, the game would give me at least 2 or 3 hours worth of game time before crashing. Now it just hands me the "Sims 3 has stopped working and needs to close" dialog in under a minute while in Live mode. Build or Buy Mode? Take as long as you'd like. Spend FOREVER just customizing every silly facet of your Sim's home and furnishings. But if you want to actually play the game? Go fuck yourself. I'm going to pointlessly crash.
I'm on a Windows 7 machine with 4GB of memory. I'm at 1.31, with all EPs and SPs fully updated thanks to that MTS tool. I've cleared out ALL my CC save for Store items, updated to the current test version of AwesomeMod, and cleared the caches. Still no dice. Thanks EA. You have a goddamn bug that makes your product utterly and completely useless. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Monty on 2012 March 04, 22:36:11 Thanks EA. You have a goddamn bug that makes your product utterly and completely useless. Wow. I don't think anybody expected that. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Rubyelf on 2012 March 05, 01:36:13 Well this is fucking unprecedented.

You have a goddamn bug that makes your product utterly and completely useless. First thing you shouldn't be doing is double posting, edit old post first. On another note, did you try to add your game to the DEP (Data Execution Prevention) list? That seems to fix a lot of the "Sims 3 has stopped working" issues. If you need to know how to do it, go here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-Data-Execution-Prevention-settings Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Turd Ferguson on 2012 March 05, 03:02:33 Well this is fucking unprecedented.

Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2012 March 05, 05:21:02 Does it do that with just nothing installed? Keep in mind you're using the test version, which hasn't undergone adequate crash testing yet.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Capitaine Marie on 2012 March 05, 06:47:56 My game just crashed after about 20 minutes in Live Mode. Prior to this patch and installing the test version of AM, I could play for at least 5 hours. But other people are saying they have no problems. *sigh
Does it do that with just nothing installed? Keep in mind you're using the test version, which hasn't undergone adequate crash testing yet. Do you prefer crash logs from vanilla games only, if in fact you want to see one?Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: IAmTheRad on 2012 March 05, 15:47:30 The only CC I have installed is Twallan's noCD, the nointro, and the store items in .package form, except for the additional neighborhoods which don't work properly with just .package files, and counters. Haven't crashed yet.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2012 March 05, 16:24:19 Try the new test update, I fixed a crashy thing.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Capitaine Marie on 2012 March 05, 18:48:12 I just downloaded it and will test sometime tonight. Is it all right to use the configuration tool?
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Lagtop on 2012 March 05, 21:59:10 This sucks, I've been trying since yesterday to update a vanilla game with only Basegame and Master Suite installed and I'm getting an "invalid file found" error. Apparently that happens with cracked games, but I don't use cracks. I wanted the achievements so freakin' bad D:
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: freckles on 2012 March 05, 22:05:41 Can anyone install the PC version of the patch yet? I tried, getting that lovely 'no file found' error. Using the patch tool from MTS works. I have tried the MTS tool and it doesn't work,I have also tried installing with the launcher and that didn't work either. Update error: Invalid file found. Edit: I have also taken out all my downloads and hacks from the game and tried to install the patch,still getting the same error.

Update error: Invalid file found. Then somewhere somehow there is an invalid file somewhere. Using a crack are we? Used one of those world fix mods from MTS?

I did have a crack installed,but I have AM test version installed. To be honest,I don't have a clue what a world fix mod is,let alone heard of it before now. I think I will uninstall and not use any cracks,just AM. Thanks for the heads up. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Lagtop on 2012 March 05, 23:03:54 What patch tool are you talking about? If you mean the Sims 3 Patch Downloader, how do I INSTALL a patch? Because it downloads them, but I don't see the install option. Or am I blind? Please excuse me for being so stupid.

Please excuse me for being so stupid. Yes and No Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Demise on 2012 March 06, 02:10:45 Try the new test update, I fixed a crashy thing. The new test version for awesomemod is working fine for me now. I've played for an hour without a hitch. Everything is fixed, thank you. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Capitaine Marie on 2012 March 06, 07:14:28 I just played a few hours with the new AM; it works perfectly. Baa.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: freckles on 2012 March 06, 10:13:18 Updated fine through MTS patch thingy,after uninstalling and reinstalling the sims 3 and all packs. No cracks this time,just AM test version and my game is working well.

You could try waving your magic wand to see if the patch file magically appears on your computer. If that doesn't work, then no, there is no way to update without downloading the patch first. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Lagtop on 2012 March 06, 15:23:48 What? The patch already is in my computer. I just want to install it, because it says "invalid file" on a completely vanilla game, without cracks or mods or anything.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2012 March 06, 15:47:03 Try using the full-patch instead of the incremental. You probably are doing something really dumb.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Lagtop on 2012 March 06, 16:05:03 I was trying to do something really dumb, and that is using the patch DOWNLOADER to INSTALL the patch. I am officially retarded.
But I've looked at the patch log, and the supposedly invalid file found is a "code_version" text file, which I have not touched. Ever. So the patch is doing something really dumb too. And that superpatch thing sucks too, my Internet connection is horribly slow. I downloaded the patch once with Origin (which is crap, but I had to use it), but never actually opened it (another stupid thing that I've done). I know you'll kill me for asking this, but is it even located somewhere? I can't find it in my installation directory. If that's the only thing I can do, then I'll just stick with having it download for 10 hours straight, like I did last time. *sigh* Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: freckles on 2012 March 06, 17:32:25 I was trying to do something really dumb, and that is using the patch DOWNLOADER to INSTALL the patch.

There is a bit on the patch installer that says in bold downloaded updates and it has the path were they go. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Lagtop on 2012 March 06, 18:30:18 To LIKE asking stupid questions? You don't know how difficult it is to keep with stupidity. And I didn't understand your comment.

Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Rubyelf on 2012 March 07, 00:36:36 I have a question, the only part of this social aspect I am actually intrigued by is the "Simport" feature that allows people to join your game, and vice verse, what I want to know is, if I have the base game registered, but all the rest are ARRed versions, up to and including Showtime, would I actually be able to use this feature? I haven't ever registered my official copy of The Sims 3, as I'm kinda lazy.

I haven't ever registered my official copy of The Sims 3, as I'm kinda lazy. I'm also semi interested in this. I was wondering if I bought Showtime, if it would be enough to open the SimPort type stuff, or if the game would get pissy that the rest of the game is blatantly arr'd. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: IAmTheRad on 2012 March 07, 00:52:46 AFAIK from only having the base game registered on TS3, the 'social' aspect of Sims works properly. Not sure about Simport, waiting until I have a proper version of it to test.
Custom Content made since they changed Rigs should work unless they modify things, like scripting mods or tuning mods of things that were changed. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: virgali on 2012 March 07, 02:25:12 As long as you have SHT registered you can Simport with others. You can even have an account with SHT being the only game registered to that account and it'll work.
ETA: Does anybody have an arred copy of SHT yet? I saw one posted on Piratebay. My game is such a mess though that I did not dare try it out. You won't be able to Simport with it but at least you'll be able to explore EP. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Rubyelf on 2012 March 07, 02:29:14 As long as you have SHT registered you can Simport with others. You can even have an account with SHT being the only game registered to that account and it'll work. So basically you HAVE to have the non arred version of it? What I was mainly asking is if it works with only the BASE game registered.

Each of you need to have your own copy registered to your account to be able to Simport with each other.

Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: IAmTheRad on 2012 March 07, 03:59:44 Simsport is just having a random sim come to your town to perform a show, or have your sim go to someone elses town and perform. Totally non-interactive. All I suppose you can do is customize the venue.
Once I have Showtime arr'd I'll see if my registered TS3 base game will be able to simport. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Skadi on 2012 March 07, 04:08:19 The main thing about simport is that it speeds up your career and unlocks new objects. Hopefully someone will mod it so that you can unlock the bonuses and items.

Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: jezzer on 2012 March 07, 04:29:49 EA has zero interest in providing things for people without internetz.

Although they should be more interested in those people, as they are the ones that are less likely to have ARR the game.

They are also less likely to buy the overpriced but highly profitable (for EA) store stuff. So again EA doesn't care since they won't make money.

Totally non-interactive. All I suppose you can do is customize the venue. Once I have Showtime arr'd I'll see if my registered TS3 base game will be able to simport. What? Where did you get this info? SimsVIP couldn't Simport because she had the game installed but it would not register. I'm pretty sure the registration is needed since you'll be using EA's server. Your sims can go watch someone else's sim perform and if you're both playing at the same time, every interaction you have with the sim will be reported to its owner. Unless you manage to set up a private server you won't be able to Simport. Furthermore the sims aren't random. You actually need to send a request and have someone accept it in 24 hours or you won't get the stamp. People have reported issues though like going to see a show but the stage being empty and dark, yet the game reporting it as a success and sims resetting after using Simport. ETA: In other news, apparently those using simport will end up with said sim in their simbin and cc does get through.

Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: IAmTheRad on 2012 March 07, 18:14:23 What? Where did you get this info? I got my info from a Sims 3 producer video for what you can do I guess for a simport feature. However as you said, EA fucked it up. It'll be like that Doll shit all over again.

However as you said, EA fucked it up. It'll be like that Doll shit all over again. All LIES and propaganda! They also said that there would not be any actual file transfer happening. Well not only do you get the file but it also installs itself. You can read more about it here: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2012/03/simport-sending-sims-and-custom-content.html Even if you don't get bad cc, you'll have to manually delete every sim that simported to your world. People also said that every time they sent out a simport request that failed, their sim got uploaded into their launcher. I was going to try out simport while I wait for a modder to unlock the rewards but I changed my mind. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: IAmTheRad on 2012 March 07, 19:34:43 Simport works for a game that only has TS3 registered.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: virgali on 2012 March 07, 21:08:28 Simport works for a game that only has TS3 registered. Yes! So they lied about that too. Could you elaborate on how you tested this? Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: IAmTheRad on 2012 March 07, 21:41:42 I sent a request to a friend on my Sims list for them to send a sim over for a performance, then I sent a sim over to their hood for them to do a performance. It worked. Mind you I was logged into the game, since I only have TS3 registered.
Of course SimsVIP lied about the SimPort feature. The only things you need to register for are the incentive items. I have them working without registering them regardless.

I have them working without registering them regardless. SimsVIP didn't lie. I'm sure she simply didn't try because I have several SimGurus going on record that you must have Showtime registered to be able to simport. Either way I'm glad you tried it and it worked. So we better spread the word before more people waste their money on a second game while they live in the same house and are already sharing TS3 among themselves. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: IAmTheRad on 2012 March 07, 22:19:00 Of course a SimGuru who is being paid by EA will say you MUST have it registered. It's how they get their paycheque afterall.
Now, mind you I only tested with someone who does have Showtime Registered on my account which is not registered with Showtime, and it was only to one person. I'd want to try to test with someone who just has one game registered that's not showtime and try to do the same thing.

Graham said you need both registered so I assume that as long as you have the game installed and any game registered to the account Simport will work. I would love to test this with you but I don't have the game yet and it'll probably arrive tomorrow so I see no point in arring it now.

Well that sounds good, the moment I heard about the SimPort importing custom CC I was like "well screw that", now I can safely do it. - Or not...trying to be forced into using Origin. Are you using Origin? If not, how did you bypass it? Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: IAmTheRad on 2012 March 08, 00:05:59 I'm going to do further SimPort testing. Stay tuned.
Edit: I'd be easier if I actually had someone else to do focused testing with. Argh. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Rubyelf on 2012 March 08, 02:13:25 I'm going to do further SimPort testing. Stay tuned. Edit: I'd be easier if I actually had someone else to do focused testing with. Argh. I would but this torrent is jumping from 9 kb/s up to 600 and then down again, so I don't see me with this game anytime soon... Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: IAmTheRad on 2012 March 08, 02:49:26 I have successfully sent a Sim on tour via Simport.
(http://i.imgur.com/mt6nO.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/Yb6PI.jpg) Now I need to see if I can receive someone via SimPort Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: IAmTheRad on 2012 March 08, 03:55:16 And with only TS3 registered, I got this. And yes, there was a Sim put in my downloads folder and a saved sim as well. Sim contained custom content so EA needs to fix that shit.
(http://i.imgur.com/hVkhs.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/uDoBj.jpg) However once they fix the importing and remove the sims being added to your bin and the CC, that'll be good. My test was to prove that I can use SimPort. I did tests with more than 3 people. First time I wasn't sure if it was a glitch or not, since I had a sim appear to perform at a venue, and I wasn't sure if the Sim actually went off the first time. When I replicated it twice with different people, I call that verifying that it works. If it changes when they release the hotfix, I'll let here know. But as it stands, you do not need to buy two copies of the game for two people in the same house to use SimPort. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: Rubyelf on 2012 March 08, 05:54:03 And with only TS3 registered, I got this. And yes, there was a Sim put in my downloads folder and a saved sim as well.

So I guess this will be out soonish, I'm not going to touch SimPort until that is done, 20 minutes until I can play this game. Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: IAmTheRad on 2012 March 08, 15:24:40 Well, I have a kinda workaround for the other items being installed. The sims3pack that the game downloads to you will install items to your dcdb0.dbc file. I have it copied over to a different folder so that when I'm done playing for the time, I just copy it back over and delete the download and the savedsims. That way I'll not get the stupid custom content that people seem to enjoy so much. Seriously, someone had belly rings in a sim they sent to me.
Title: Re: New Patch 1.31 Post by: jezzer on 2012 March 08, 18:01:28 Seriously, someone had belly rings in a sim they sent to me. THE HORROR! Were you able to see their sim's NAVEL?

I'm glad I waited though, since I use a lot of custom skintones and would be pretty pissed if they didn't work anymore.

Title: Re: New Patches 1.31/1.32 Post by: PA on 2012 March 11, 07:15:49 I haven't had an issue with CC with the incremental patch either. My skintones still work.

What about default replacement skintones? From what I've seen posted at MTS and on the official forums, a lot of people are claiming that the patch somehow changed the skintone ramps and that default replacement skintones no longer work because of this.

I only have 1.31 but my default replacement skintones in CAS now have a weird grey/greenish hue to them. Title: Re: New Patches 1.31/1.32 Post by: ShortyBoo on 2012 March 11, 12:24:42 I saw a thread about the greenish tint to the skintones. Supposedly, if you have your settings on high, the skintones will look normal again. I haven't seen that in my game, which is at 1.31, but all my settings are on high, so that may be correct.

Oh, it was the superpatch that was pulled.

It happened to me too. Changing your settings to high will "fix" it. Superpatcher 1.32 introduced a new skin color wheel. This is the patch with the EP7 stuff. I have this one too.

From what I've seen posted at MTS and on the official forums, a lot of people are claiming that the patch somehow changed the skintone ramps and that default replacement skintones no longer work because of this. I haven't seen this, and I just lowered my settings and still didn't see any greenish tint nor broken default replacements. I did an incremental patch to 1.31 and 1.32 for what it's worth.

Sorry, got confused there a bit. I haven't heard of the green skin thing so IDK, my settings for actual sims are always on high.

Title: Re: New Patches 1.31/1.32 Post by: Rubyelf on 2012 March 13, 09:06:22 So am I to understand I should not install patch 1.32, or is it safe? Some people are reporting issues, while others are not, I want to be sure on this before I take the plunge.

Some people are reporting issues, while others are not, I want to be sure on this before I take the plunge. The way I see it is that sooner or later you are going to have to install it, either now with the test version AM or later when the actual version is ready. The only thing the patch does is block your CC from sticking to your sims during SimPort. Title: Re: New Patches 1.31/1.32 Post by: virgali on 2012 March 13, 13:27:07 Patch 1.32 is as safe to install as any other EA patch. They pulled the superpatch that contained the EP7 stuff which I believe was the only issue with 1.32.
Title: Re: New Patches 1.31/1.32 Post by: Cathy on 2012 March 13, 17:33:42 I'm always terrified with patches, so it's good to know what is can do besides "fixing" the game...
Title: Re: New Patches 1.31/1.32 Post by: witch on 2012 March 13, 22:58:48 So I installed the super 1.32 patch before it was pulled. It works fine with test AM. I guess there's no way a patch can be uninstalled, so I will have to wait for EAxis to fix with another patch? I'm not prepared to reinstall, I'll just wait and see, unless someone has a bright idea.

It should be fine. Patch 1.32 doesn't change anything major. I'm waiting it out too, there's no way I'm re-installing everything again. Even the new sliders won't conflict since you can increase the amount you can have with AM. Title: Re: New Patches 1.31/1.32 Post by: Skadi on 2012 March 13, 23:40:04 I'm not letting go of my superpatch. I am looking at all the unlock mods that let me play with the shinies EARLY.

Besides the sliders and the colour wheel, what other changes are in the super patch? Title: Re: New Patches 1.31/1.32 Post by: virgali on 2012 March 14, 14:16:21 You get the new toys in buydebug, the new effects and you can unlock the potions with a mod. you can't use them yet though.
@Skadi: I only know about shimrod's unlock mod. There are more of them out there? Title: Re: New Patches 1.31/1.32 Post by: Insanity Prelude on 2012 March 15, 17:19:01 As expected, they just patched the patch. Again.

WTF is an art update? Considering the photo booth is severely glitched I would have gladly waited for a patch that included some major fixes. WTF is an art update indeed? My guess is that this is just an excuse to get rid of the "leaked" EP7 stuff. |
