Default LMAO! Patch 1.67, today!
Sorry for the laugh but I just decided to update my game to 1.66 and lo & behold there is 1.67. Reading around the community it's not a major something, just server update for the base game.

Patch note:

Quote:
To install this update, please start your game and use the “Updates” tab in your Launcher.

This game update includes the following changes:

Base Game:
Updated server messaging


I was in a panic because I didn't read before starting my patch, just read it when it finished. Ugh.

That's it. It's a bit fishy since they made a large increment over the patch version. 1.66 to 1.67 is kinda big for just a "patch of the 1.66 patch" that they forgot to put in. Checking NRASS now to see if they break anymore mods.

Reading this thread at Nraas: http://nraas.wikispaces.com/share/view/65821062, looks like nothing major.

Looks like changes to the script and gameplay packages. Oh shoot! I am screwed!

As this is not an online game, does 'server messaging' mean when the waitress tells you the day's specials?

TS2 and TS3: Where adult sims potty train their toddlers.
TS4: Where adult sims make Angry Poops.

NRASS is not even posting about 1.67 yet. 1.66 broke a few stuff (Error Trap being what I cared about). And Twallan already brought Error Trap 1.66 up to date, big applause to him. There is also an updated Mater Controller for 1.66. Grab it.

From a person who stopped TS3 for 2 years and started again recently, I can tell the contrast of what EA did. TS3 was really a single player game (the game won't change if you keep running it for 100 years). But now, they added store content right into each and every section of buy/build mode and constantly spam you to update your memories onto their site/facebook/twitter. And what else I have not figured out? The good news is any new install from Launcher will instantly appear without having to restart the game (still need to restart for mods). So yeah, there are online elements at play.

I just hope they don't start displaying ads. Or maybe do it in a creative and tasteful way?

So for those who have had the misfortune of upgrading, has the volume of advertisements thrusted through your pharynx increased?

For Steam players, we don't have a choice. I ran TS3 this morning, launched it. Checked NRASS and found Error Trap update, and restarted TS3, and now TS3 is stuck in this mandatory update that is going to take "legitimately 30 hours" through Steam. I just built a nice apartment space lastnite. Now I am going to wait for Steam to play it.

Whatever they do, please don't slow down the game play. Bridgeport is already laggy as it is.

Patch 1.67?!!!

I thought the patch 1.66 was final.

From now, when EA says it's the final patch, they're joking.

matrix54 is not Maxis! There was no official announcement whatsoever that 1.66 would be final.

I literally just spent several hours last night checking on all the mods I have to get the updated versions for 1.66 if necessary and getting ready to patch. Now I have to do all that over again and I'm not happy. I wasn't even planning on updating to 1.66 so soon, but I keep getting a pop-up when I start the game saying AwesomeMod will expire in a few days, so I figured I'd update. Now I don't think I can update to 1.66 (I use the Patch Downloader program) anymore, so I guess I'll have to wait until everything is updated to 1.67. I guess I'll spend a few days playing Sengoku Basara 4 on my PS3 while I'm waiting.

I bet EA smiled using their Evil Trait when they let this one out today...no real details just those dreaded words "PATCH"

Well, only two mods over at NRaas needed updating and are in testing. Check out News Of The Day for details http://nraas.wikispaces.com/News+Of+The+Day.

matrix54 always makes announcements from EA before they release their products.

If EA decided to release more patches, it's not matrix54's fault.

Maybe you should start following juansfalcin instead, who recently discovered that they are clairvoyant when it comes to Sims.

I'm guessing I was wrong and this vision was about this patch instead of Sims 4? Or maybe now we'll just be angry all the time with EA. I know I am.
