Who is excited about " World Adventures"?

[Metropolis Man]

Oh, I know EA disabled the link. I already mentioned that. But, at least when I clink on the link I provided it takes me to the patch listing.

EDIT: wildredchild just PM'd me asking for the changes list. Everyone should see it because it's massive. This is actually where I found it:

Let me know if you guys can't link to that. Don't know what I can do if there's problems.

EDIT 2: The UPS guy just dropped off a package at my front door. Hmmmmm....what could this be? (opens package) Oh, that's right! I completely forgot I had ordered World Adventures. Silly me.

I can see that, thanks! I was getting annoyed that I couldn't see the changes now that I already have the patch installed.

It's the forum at the official site that is dead, at least for me. Maybe they've had too much traffic what with both WA and the patch coming out.

[Honeymooners]

ohh my that is a lot of changes on that patch! 

The official forum is down for me too.

[Cel_sims3]

wow...can you guys talk or what? I"ve been happily simming with WA and I decided to see what you guys thought. I loaded Carl's site and look at how many posts there are! Anyway. I've yet to see any problems with my game. What was the problem supposed to be anyway?

[Metropolis Man]

The problem is with the new 1.5/1.6 patch, Cel. At the moment it's not available from EA, so they must still be working out some issues.

[Cel_sims3]

Huh, I wonder why I'm not getting any problems...I downloaded a patch right after I installed WA..

[Metropolis Man]

Well, I reinstalled the vanilla game and the expansion immediately afterwards. When I launch the WA Launcher I get no notice that any update is available. So, I'm assuming that this 1.5/1.6 update is not rolled into the expansion and will be fixed. Pam, you installed your expansion yesterday and THEN you got the Update notice at the WA Launcher screen, right?

Was this yesterday, Cel? It seems EA just pulled the plug on the update today.

[Honeymooners]

Cel post your first opinions on Metros Sticky at the top.  I am dying to know what people think.

Hi all,
Yeah, that's ahuge Patch Notes release...
I had the patch roll in this morning, and have had no problems per se with the program operating. I have a few bugs that I'm checking now to see if they're global or specific.

I haven't my WA copy yet  but Base+ Patch 1.6 seems not too horrible for me.

[Metropolis Man]

I was just on the phone for 15 minutes with an EA tech support person (10 minutes was being put on hold). Needless to say, they didn't know squat. So, I guess I'll just keep launching the game and when the patch issues have been resolved I should see something in the launcher. I really don't want to play WA without that patch.

[Cel_sims3]

I installed my WA the second I got it and it told me to install a patch, so I did..I'm not sure if it's the same patch but I think, just to be safe, I'll take my games to a new file and uninstall everything..

[Metropolis Man]

Well, patience is not my best virtue and I created a new character with the expansion. I quickly sent her to the library to get 3 gardening skills so I could see about this new fertilizing option mentioned in another thread. It was there — Fertilize Garden with Best Fertilizer. And I have installed no update — I haven't had the option. So, I'm wondering if most (or all) or the 1.5/1.6 content is already in the expansion?

That is how I understand it.  I read an article on Snooty that said that the patch was basically for people who weren't adding WA yet.

No, my WA just arrived a couple of hours ago.  I got the update notice on my vanila Sims 3 yesterday (or whenever it was).  I've got WA installed and am about to launch for the first time.

[Metropolis Man]

Ah, well, then that's enlightening, Pam. That may explain why I have never seen an update option. I completely reinstalled vanilla and the expansion to to make sure everything was nice and clean. So, maybe I don't even need the patch. Unsure.

Not much to report yet. I'm digging into my photographer. One thing I noticed in the miniscule documentation that came in the DVD case is it says you can buy a basic camera at any of the 3 locations at the general store. I couldn't find one in France. Maybe they're there somewhere, but I went to the market and didn't see them in the inventory. But, I went to Egypt and did get a nice one. My first photo is worth $100 Simoleans!
