More Awesome Than You!

EDIT: *smacks self for stupid mistake, there is no new patch out for OFB*

Err.. I guess I can still make this something useful, it will need to be moved though methinks...

To check what version the file is (because Maxis has a stupid habbit of making them the same name), you can use a program like QuickSFV (http://www.quicksfv.org/) to compare the md5.

Patch 1 (version 1.0.0.971)
-----------
Original file name: thesims2_update_cd.exe
MD5: 265ac36a6c81b09109b46c59bc53f30a
Original file name: thesims2_update_dvd.exe
MD5: e77ce86d908af50203842e9465f80309

Patch 2 (version 1.0.0.994)
-----------
Original file name: thesims2_update.exe
MD5: a9ce29ea541d8c88ce69b0f5cf1f958a

Patch 3 (version 1.0.0.999)
-----------
Original file name: TS2UPD.exe (University)
MD5: ed95ffe9f49d812fca86d371c0368aa9
Original file names: thesims2_update.exe & TS2UPD.exe (Nightlife, Holiday Party Pack, OFB)
MD5: 8529a7afb287eaa77fc069857cb49cfa

The patch included with University is the exact same as the one Maxis released on their website that fixed a problem with the Asian version of the game; it just has a different exe loader.

It may only be useful for people who archive junk, like what I'm doing, but it may have practical use if you can't remember what patch you have next time you reinstall.

Uh, go to sleep before you hurt someone, m'kay?  :P

LMAO! Git to bed!

I typed the wrong number instead of the patch version when I was going through my files... oh well, I changed it to the md5s instead so other people don't freak like I did and think there was a new patch...

I genuinely do not understand this post, but maybe it's because it's so late in the day (and the clocks have already gone forward, which makes it even later).  Then again, it could be because I am too stupid to understand it. 

I thought there was a new patch out for OFB, but then I realized I made a mistake (I was going through the different patch files, and I named a folder with the wrong number). I changed the original post.
