1.31 Update

[xFezIsAFreakx]

I'm almost certain it's just skill opps. Will do more testing tomorrow.

I think it's only the ones where you have to give someone somthing.

I got an opp to create a sculpture worth 3k and deliver it to a sim post patch and was able to turn it in just fine.

@Gogo - Where your sims on vacation/had an adventure ready in their adventure journal at the time you patched up? That could be something to do with it..

I myself haven't tried the adventures, but they work in a similar way to the opps so I wouldn't be too surprised if they were affected as well.

I'm having the same issue.  I had the Dragon Cave adventure that required you to go to France to find a keystone.  I got to the part where you needed to find an Opal to get it before the patch.  After the patch, I miraculously found an opal in a tomb in France, and couldn't give it to the adventure NPC.

Another issue I'm having is with cribs.  Once I put an infant into a crib, the crib becomes unusable and I can't take them out again.  I have to do a resetsim on the infant to fulfill their needs, and I can put them back into the crib, but then I won't be able to take them out again.  I've replaced the crib, and even used a different crib and this happens every time.

I'm having a new and different issue.  After installing the patch and launching the game, it was fine.  But then I noticed that the icon of one of the cats was solid green and I couldn't do anything with her.  I couldn't find her in the house, either.  I probably should have researched how to remove the patch, but instead I did a system restore on my computer to put it back to a point before the patch was installed.  It only made things worse because now the game won't launch at all, no matter if I use the Sims 3 Launcher or not.  What happens is, I get a message about installing the patch and I cancel it.  Then I get a message saying:

It looks like you have installed an unofficial game modification that does not match your current version of The Sims 3.  We recommend that you either uninstall these game modifications or get updated versions of them - otherwise you may experience crashes or significant bugs.  Do you want to quit?

I don't have any modifications installed, so I don't know why it's giving me this message.  When I click Continue, the game starts to load, but then it crashes and says that Sims 3 has stopped working.

I've backed up all of my files and I'm going to do a complete re-install tonight.  I'm due for one anyway because I generally do a fresh install whenever an expansion pack comes out and I think I didn't do it with Pets.

Anyway, just wanted to report the problems I've been having.

Someone on the other Sims Forum posted in a thread that with the patch, you now earn an opportunity to see the Death by Magic ghost.

I just called for a babysitter and my sim went to the hospital to have her baby. No babysitter showed up but the car is parked in front of the house. It took the money like she was there and showed her picture. The car is still there. I'll delete it.

[Frey]

Wow. I'm definitely going to wait then. I'm really tempted to update and see the new social system thing, veggie food and all that but I don't think it's worth the risk. I hope EA fixes all of this soon!

Babysitter showed up for the third and last baby with no problem. Maybe it was a one-time thing.

I don't have any modifications installed, so I don't know why it's giving me this message.

Lol.  Pam using mods?  That will be the day.

I seemed to remember hearing something about this, so I did some research and found something that might help.  It appears that the problem seems to be an incorrectly installed patch.  Another uninstall/reinstall might fix the problem. 

There is a 3rd party fix for this (not a mod:  it's a 3rd party patching utility), but I won't link to it here because it violates EA's terms of conduct regarding altering a part of EA's service that they does not authorize you to alter.

I know!  I was offended when I got that message from the game. 

[Branr]

I've completed all types of opportunities, the only one that bugged up is one my sim had prior to the patch.  I cancelled it, and have had no problems since

[xFezIsAFreakx]

Did some more playing about and it seems I was mistaken! It is indeed just opps that you were on during patching up! I don't know why the opp in the new file bugged out..

[Sims3Clacla123]

The new patch hasn't crashed my game as of yet , but my sims skins are very pale. They almost look like vampires. 
But it was a good idea to the social features inn the patch.

[Jokerfac]

It does affect the Mac as well.  I decided to do the requirements for the opportunity and eat at the steakhouse to simulate turning it in and cancelled the opportunity.  My decadynasty has been plagued by glitches and bugs.

I turned off the social features for now.  I will probably start a new save to attempt achievements with it on, but not when I am doing challenges or dynasties.

I played for three hours yesterday morning and then probably three more yesterday night. I had no problems going to other countries or completing ops (but I do see now it was only pre-patch ops that were broken).

The only issue I do have is under the little login box on the loading screen I sometimes get NoXRoadsName instead of my sims 3 name. I was able to correct it. I am sorry if this was brought up earlier in this thread, I haven't been able to read it closely since Friday night. Has anyone else had this problem? If so you may know more about it than me so please let me know if there's another way to correct it besides using CCleaner every time I want to log in. Thank you.
