Patch 1.42

[Seabody]

This patch has so many different codes that is related to Seasons, so hopefully, some things will be fixed.

Just so you know, every patch does. I've looked into gameplaydata.package and we appear to have most of the Seasons coding. We don't have it all yet (I can't find anything for Winter, for instance), but we do have quite a bit, such as information about Aliens. Same thing happened before SN - I found that Faeries live 5 times longer when the Patch came out.

Has anyone had a problem with sims not dying? I'm getting pretty concerned because in my immortal dynasty, the third generation's husband hasn't died yet and he's 100 days old on the dot. I know that isn't an unheard of age or anything, but I'm wondering if it's due to the patch or not.

[Ricalynn]

I've had Sims live to be over 130 without the patch.   The longest I've heard of someone living was 152 in a dynasty.  It's just one of those things that can happen and you have to learn to handle.   I've had lots of Sims die since the patch so I doubt it's a patch concern.

That makes me feel better, Thanks Ricalynn!

I didn't see it mentioned, so I hope I'm not repeating myself.

Elder male cats can now Try For Kittens with Adult female cats. (If memory serves, no kittens could be had if the male was elder, even if the female wasn't.) I assume this is the same for dogs and horses.

The relationship part of the patch is starting to irritate me.  My sims are constantly getting the popups of so and so finds them atttractive and they need to get together, something ike that.  And for dates, any sim they have talked to that day seems to be calling for a date.  Also, in the panel it will show a heart with a magnet and tells me that my sim is attractived to the sim he or she is with. 
That is affecting my attempt for my sims to have the eternal faithful moodlet, I am sure. 

Is there a way to fix this, or do I have to wait for EA to come up with a patch to fix the patch?

[sdhoey]

The attraction thing is a pain but my sims are not having problems getting the eternally faithful moodlets

It broke CAW Currently one of the bugs is that we can't install our worlds.

@Chuckles, I saw this on Neighborly sims. I hope it help you.

Oh My Goodness, YES! Squee!  Thankyou Louise! I clicked the link expecting another explanation of why you can't install multiple versions of the same world etc etc, but this is exactly what I needed! I knew there had to be something missing - either in the export process or the install process (it's the install process)!

[Louise56]

I'm glad I could help, Chuckles.

Yay, this patch added even more pimping of store material to my game. I guess their greed knows no bounds. There really should be a law against spamming ads in a product that you paid for.

I noticed that too, when I log in at the main menu, it now has a place that tells me how many simpoints I have and a place I can buy more.  If I was going to buy more, it would be on their website NOT while I'm playing my game.

The patch did some weird stuff to my current family. Everyone was woken up and their needs bars drained. Then both mom and dad sim get the wish to quit their jobs, even though neither has commitment issues. Mom sim doesn't even really have a job to quit, she's a level 10 book writer, so the wish makes zero sense.

I just pretty much ignore it, I only really look at it to make sure I'm logged on. Plus for some people it might be nice to be able to keep up with how many SimPoints they have.
