Default Quicktime 7.6 issue -- Feb 22: Some Aspyr fixes available
Quicktime 7.6 is currently not compatible with The Sims 2 under OSX 10.4.11. I would strongly suggest to skip the upgrade to 7.6 until this is resolved. Many thanks to everyone who looked into this!

Please see this thread for more info / discussion of the issue.

Most recent info from Aspyr that I could find (from the thread on apple.com):
Quote:
We are aware of the current issues in 10.4.11 that appear to be the result of the new QuickTime 7.6 update. We are currently working with Apple to find the cause and solution to this problem. Usually, when a QuickTime update causes problems, Apple will provide an update to 7.6 or a rollback to 7.5.
Unfortunately, since QuickTime is an integral part of the Mac OS, it is almost impossible to just uninstall the problematic version of QuickTime and install the old one. Apple has been informed of the problem, and we are working with them to get this problem resolved as soon as possible.


Please only post in this sticky with important, new information (like Aspyr/Apple releasing a fix, or important new links) -- use the thread linked above for discussion, I believe that will make it easier for "newcomers" to find the important bits. Thank you =)
