Patch 1.50

[Sarabi]

The work progress bar doesn't seem to be working like before.  Did they change it?  There are no longer the little arrows going up or down.  Also, my sims cannot chat or invite over their boss or co-workers.  It always says they are working, no matter what time of day.  Is anyone else having these problems since the patch?


(I'm not sure if this is in the right place or not.  Please move it if it belongs somewhere else.)

Yes, I've noticed the job progress arrows are missing with the new patch.  I haven't noticed any problems contacting co-workers, though.

I have five sims all in rabbit hole jobs and it affecting all of them.

[Sarabi]

Hmm.. don't know what to tell you.  I have noticed that my Sims aren't able to call them immediately after work, but I thought that was because they were in transit.  If I wait a bit, I've been able to call them.

Thanks i think the super patch worked for me.

The super patch worked for me as well, but I can feel for the people who haven't gotten the patch yet, or have developed problems from it. I've felt that hair-pulling frustration, too.

One new thing I've noticed from the patch is that you now have a choice of movies at the theatre -- I counted 8 and they seem to change. You don't get any pop-ups from going to the movie, but the titles are cute.

Edited to add:  Your cell phone is also re-organized, and on the computer, chess is now included under computer games.

What? That's so cool!

After 1.50 patching I noticed 2 serious bugs till now:
- the midget bug when elders are walking with the cane from Generations EP
- the delay of Too Spicy Moodlet and animation that must appear after your sim eats something spicy and spit flames.  Now your sim performs the animation after several seconds and so, it's a bugged animation.

Well... the patch fixed several known problems but it broke a few things.
So, I'm curious what other bugs did you find ? ...

I uninstalled everything and used the SuperPatch, and my game seems to be working now but I can't open my Save files. I'm getting the error message saying "A serious error has occurred with (Save File) please try again" or something of that nature. I've had this problem before trying to open a file that was no longer in the right folder. I'm wondering if this may be because I need to re-install all my custom content. I moved the Mods folder out onto the Desktop while re-installing and updating and then put it in the new Electronic Arts folder in Documents, I thought that would re-install the CC but apparently it didn't.

Something I noticed since the patch was you can now ask someone to be a room-mate. I thought this was cool.

I believe it needs to go into your package folder in the mods folder, I just had to reinstall my folder too.

The cane issue is actually fixed if you buy a new cane and it will only effect pre-patch Sims with canes.

Any one had issues with Prom since the patch? I used to get the dance notification within a couple days of my kids becoming teens, but now I'm not getting them at all.

I'm patched up and I just had a notification arrive about the prom. They are a new family only just started in Aurora Skies today though, if that makes a difference.

[MarianT]

With regard to the prom, even before the patch, it seemed to take 2 or 3 weeks before one was announced.

I don't seem to have the little arrow on the career tab anymore, but my sim does advance and get promotions.

[Janna]

I have two questions.   I have downloaded the patch and so far no problems.  When I go to play the game the launcher is blank.  Which is not a big deal, but what is confusing is that it shows the latest patch as being 1.60.136  Huh ? ? ?   
Is there another patch besides the 1.50?

Other question; I want to make sure on the phone calls -- will they stop or at least become less?  Probably wishful thinking on my part that they will stop unless you sign up on the online relationship. 

I checked in a couple of my games and the inventory is gone of all the boxes and the bills.  YEAH ! ! !

Still miffed that no fix on the garden, but not surprised.
