Thanks Striker, I'm off to download. *crosses fingers*

[Motoki]

Just a note that a lot of those fixes in the Uni Patch are included in the base NL game, so it's not like the NL patch fixes ALL of that stuff place the NL stuff, a good bit of it was already fixed with NL.

[knitro]

Ok, am I just blind or did the final exam bug not get fixed?

[Assmitten]

Dang, I was hoping to see "Sims will no longer die of old age before they finish a meal at home."

It's a good thing I got that talk less, eat more hack!

[Trubble]

So are we not supposed to download both then? I see MaxoidKane said to just download the NL patch if you have both.

And I find the sheeple on the BBS amusing - the ones which said Uni had no bugs - for a game without bugs, that is one fecking long fix list.

[Motoki]

hmm it just gave me some error during update install and said I need to reinstall and backup my neighborhood.  

[Trubble]

I'm going to do it tomorrow when I'm not sleepy and you have all tested it

[ZephyrZodiac]

Well, most of the things it is supposed to fix are things I never even noticed!  Apart, that is, from the nannies!

[Motoki]

Yep, I didn't notice a lot of that crap either. And some BIG issues like terrain paints I saw no mention of. :p

[knitro]

Maybe the things we didn't notice were the things causing the other problems?

[Trubble]

This may cover the final exam bug...

Fixed a reset that occurred after multiple generations of large famlies that prevented death from completing properly for Sims in large, multi-generational families. Symptoms included missing inheritance, tombstones, and a lower Sim population cap per lot.

That sounds to me like the problem fixed by Pescado's "death bug fix".  I don't think it's related to Uni, but I could be wrong....

[gynarchy]

Book cleanup has been improved to prevent the potential deletion of unintentional objects, such as vehicle portals.

Is that the root of the missing portal bug or just one instance?

[striker]

Edited Uni post to include more fixes.

Started with the '#' sign

[Dark Trepie]

* Sims can now Propose > Move In or Propose > Marriage towards non player young adult Sims that they became engaged to while in college.

I take it this means Adult sims can propose marriage to a Young Adult sim.  When I first read it I thought it meant two Young Adults could marry.   

[U_Dog_U]

I'm about to try and install it. I've backed up my game but if it says I have to reinstall then it'll have to wait until tomorrow.

[simmiecal]

Any one else amused by the number of times they used the words "rare" and "obscure"?

[Dark Trepie]

The best I can remember, over-population was the cause of most of the game exploding bugs.  Up too and including corruted death (no inheritence) and the final exam bug.

Since it says they fixed the corrupt death, wouldn't this mean bye-bye to the final exam bug?

Even though I've personally never experience the final exam bug, I have been a victim of the "Its high time so-and-so go back to the real world" bug.

[gynarchy]

Has anyone had a successful patch install yet? I got the same error message as Motoki.

[Motoki]

gynarchy: Did you by chance set your objects.package file to read only? I just now realized I did that and didn't bother to change it back before I patched and I noticed the patcher program messing with that file. I'll remove the read only setting and try again *crosses fingers*

*edit: I just checked and I guess the patcher can remove that setting on its own because it did update that file and it's no longer read only. I guess it's reinstall time for me. :p

*edit #2: It seems to hang for me at the Graphics Rules.sgr file and I think I remember modifying that file. I'll see if I can find a backup from the CD. What a pain in the ass. 

[gynarchy]

That's what I thought of immediately after I got the error, but I checked the file and the "read-only" tag was already removed.

EDIT: Are we having fun yet? 

EDIT AGAIN: My friend who has never modified a game file in any way says she gets the same error.
