I hope it fixes the following

Radios I can only hear the custom station and a lot of other people are reporting this as well.

Disappearing inventories

Sims moving out and getting deleted.Once you lose them their gone however you can bring them back out of the bins but they won't know the sims they knew before.

Go to movie,game and concert with.This should have already been added so it's were friends can't do these things togeather unless you add them to the active family with a cheat and make them go see a movie togeather.

An ask to join feature for the picnic basket,picnic table and fishing.You can't do none of these with friends unless you cheat by adding them to active family.

Aging sims aging from teen to adult and skipping young adult age.

Various black screen crashes and cas crashes.

The kiss in bed were sims lips don't touch.They did in the sims 2.

The sims not being able to sit next to each other on the fountain.If you sit a sim on the fountain and have her call over a friend,spouse,family member etc they will sit almost on the other side of the fountain not next to the sim that calls them over.

I hope it will make the speed faster. My speed was really slow before the patch and even though now it's faster it's still not as fast as the sims 2 was.

It's unlikely they'll touch on things like the movies suggestion or the 'ask to join' ones, as the patches are generally only released to fix bugs. Those aren't bugs, those are poor/annoying programming. You're more likely to see those issues fixed with expansions.

I hope they mean 'update' as in releasing a neighborhood/'world' creator.

Is anyone else experiencing sound problems where they have to delete options and deviceconfig numerous times before any kind of sound works? If other people are, I hope that they fix it quickly, making me not want to play sims for the good 10-20 mins it takes for the sound to work.

I'm also having sound problems with cas and neighborhood view.I hear no music which is what a lot of people are also reporting it's related to the same bug that causes only one radiostation to work.I can however hear the ocean in neighborhood view.

The thing that sucks with updates is that for the people that are having just one problem, you install the patch and it messes up your whole game. That was ok in the beginning because I didn't really have a lot in my game or a long time family. I will certainly wait until I know it works before I install anything again from EA.

It'd better fix the crashing and, what I encountered just last night, the dreaded Error 13. Otherwise it'd be just a waste of my time.

You have placed the tombstone or urn or whatever in the yard and the ghost comes out at night? The ghost has to be active on your lot before you get the opportunity.

Does anyone here spend enough time on the offical BBS to know which way the wind is blowing over there? Are the complaints and requests similar to here, or are they off on their own planet, as they are often wont to do?

Error 13 makes the game unplayable.

I'm not touching the game again until they find a fix. There is no use playing it if you can't save it.

What's error 13? Is it something that happens when you save...does it crash your game or something? Is it something that randomly happens or does it keep doing it every time once error 13 starts appearing?

Mine did, too! He hasn't moved in at least a generation.

Error 13 - I had it once, last night, in fact. I just reloaded the game and haven't had it since. Weird. Gremlins. Every time.
