When I picked up Outdoor Living, it was forced on me when I installed it (this was a couple of days ago), and didn't ask if I wanted to update.  

The only way I knew that a patch had occurred was that it immediately conflicted with AM...and told me that it conflicted and WHY it conflicted and would not even load the game until I had removed the conflict.  Then, when the game did load, it listed the NON-conflicting 'core mod' of the WooHooer as being active.  I was very surprised; it seemed forward-thinking for EA, as after-the-fact as such a feature is.
