1.31 Update

[Ricalynn]

Unfortunately I don't have any infants in any of my games so I haven't noticed that at all.

I would like to mention that the idea of giving the invisible pets up for adoption has backfired.   The social worker is unable to take the pets away because the pets aren't able to be interacted with at all.   I tried taking a sim and the three cats to edit town and then remerging them and it just made the sim that went with them unable to use their cell phone. 

Same thing with the dog and horse files too by the way.  All of my previous pets are unable to be interacted with.

Edited to fill in acronym and to add:  I found one lucky file where I can play with my horses and the children's crib does not seem to be affected. 

My socialCache.package file is already 9 MB and I just patched around noon EST today.  I wonder if it's one of the ones you can get rid of.

Mine was even bigger than that after one day of simming! But it's fine to delete. I did so yesterday and haven't had any problems playing.

Hosfac, the baby swing didn't come with Generations. You have to buy it separately from the store. Don't let your Sims put it on fast speed.

Luckily, I'm not having any problems getting the infant out of the crib.

Achievements show up right away in-game, but it seems to take a while for the badges to register on My Page.

The newest glitch I've discovered is that my two newlyweds didn't get any wedding presents. Their mailbox said they had mail, and they had to write thank-you notes, but there was nothing in family inventory. I'm not losing any sleep over it, lol.

Yikes. I think I will set this patch out until I actually get Showtime. I have the fourth generation still a baby in my Dynasty and I'm not even going to do anything that might mess that up as she is the farthest I've ever gotten. Have no pets yet, but I have an infant. No thank you!

The re-install fixed my problem with the cat, but I had to go back one save.  The current save was corrupted to the point that only the outline showed up on the main menu.  But the save before that was fine.

Oh my.  This is not what I'd call good news for me lol.

Actually, I only expected it to fix those nasty rumors your game was starting about you.  The scandal of it all!  You should have sued for slander!  :O

Sounds like you managed to get a stroke of luck out of it though.  It's starting to sound like the pet bug is a common thing.  The only file I currently had with a pet was corrupted beyond repair.  Both saves.  That's what I get for not backing them up though.  Lesson learned (again).

All is well at the moment.  I haven't installed the update in my fresh game, either.  And I'm a little concerned about Showtime's release tomorrow because it will probably load the update as part of the expansion pack.

Maybe make copies of backups as far back as you can go, just in case? I'm waiting till Showtime to patch in case it does damage. Although right now it might as well, nothing else could get worse with my Dynasty. My Legacy needs transferring to the new UC anyway. My only issue is the update not working.

I loaded the patch and played most of the weekend with it.  It has been stable for me.  I "did" think for most of the weekend that it had stopped the in-game store from working, but then last night I finally noticed there was a tick box option for that, and it had got turned off somehow, so all was then well!

I've had no problems so far, but hate the little thing always in the right upper corner.  I'm not going to post so go away.

Glad that I now know I can get rid of the in-game store.  I don't like seeing things I can't get (no sim points).  Although it does at times show free stuff.

I feel very glad that I've uninstalled Pets, now!

Does anyone know how being offline affects the achievements? I read somewhere that even if you're online, as soon as you connect to the internet the achievements will be filled in.. I haven't gotten one badge? Mind you, I don't really recall seeing any badges that my sims should have filled in..

[Korva]

My sympathies for everyone who lost files, progress and peace of mind over this. Yikes, I'm so sitting this one out for now even though the new veggie recipes and the ability to customize work clothes are tempting.

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 the crib problem too! The toddler was starving because no one could take him out of the crib. I reset him and then he was out of the crib and everything was fine, but I quit after that so I don't know if it would have happened again. This is so frustrating.

I haven't even installed Pets yet, because I'm afraid of more problems.

Unfortunately, out of 6 "active" and their 6 "backup" saves (as in I rotate 6 files and they have .backups), at least one of the cats were gone in every single one of them.  I'm just going to repatch and start over on that particular game.

Glad I saw this. I had the same problem. I thought it was something I might have done. I'm not losing sleep over it but I'll bet my Gold Digger Sim is ticked off.  She  was counting on the money from those gifts to help increase her bank account.
