Hiya all,
Maybe this is a stupid post but it's my first one. I'm not a newbe I'm a lurker, been trying to read before I speak
I was reading EA's site and had a question?
Here is the post I read from the site...

Subject: Patch workaround
Hi folks,
We have tracked down the problem.
Creating an outfit on the sewing machine changes the skins.package, thus not allowing the patch to modify that file during install. We have fixed the problem and are testing it now. We hope to have a new patch out to you very soon.
If you would like to install the patch now, you can copy the skins.package from the DVD and overwrite the one you have on your machine. This will delete any outfits you may have already created on the sewing machine.
Steps to replace skins.package:
1. Insert The Sims 2 Freetime, Disc 2 or DVD.
2. Locate compressed.zip folder.
3. Unzip TSData\Res\Catalog\skins\Skins.package to desktop.
4. Copy new skins.package (from your desktop) to the location that you have installed the game. Default location is here: C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 FreeTime\TSData\Res\Catalog\Skins,
5. Confirm File Replace, Yes.
6. Run The Sims 2 Freetime Patch again. <----- now if you patched Freetime again wouldn't it over rite the file you just replaced? 
We are very sorry!! Wouldn't this fix the skins file that messes with the CC in the game.
Couldn't you could leave the patch installed skip step #6, and not have to un and re install the game and not have to mess with your NOCD.EXE also???
Hope this helps
