Thanks, guys, that was kind of you. Yes, I’d be careful with buying WA for the time being because that patch is bad news. You guys are right… EA has been seriously slacking off with the development of patches. And WA is NOT worth $40, though it is worth $30 if fixed.

topleya – it’s a hard fact to swallow but its tru. its happening to alot of companies, not just EA.

i also hoped my sims games would always stay on top, but it’s like staying in a sucky relationship….lies but the game is sooo gooood. lol

This is worrying and unfortunatly a common place with many EA Games, EA are skimping on testing and its causing lots of issues, they are also destroying great games (SimCity).

Don’t flame me, EA are a brilliant company, but they have become blinded by their own success lately and I never thought it would affect The Sims franchise like it has on other franchises.

As much as a fanboy I am for the series, I’m actually glad for a change I did not go out to buy the expansion. I’d be madder then hell if I had a $40 paperweight.

that’s it. not getting the game unless the patch is fixed (and even then, i prolly wont get the game til I have money I can spend frivolously.

none of the patches before this one ever hurt my game, and i don’t download mods or stuff not official from the sims after issues with my sims and sims 2.

i’m sorry Frankie – i hope EA helps the ppl who got screwed from the patch before they help those of us who didn’t.

I am sorry that you have to go through with this. Floris, Installing a patch is required? Why is that? To prevent it from being pirated? I am sure this issue goes the same thing for other people as well. I have not gotten the game yet until Dec or Jan.

To get the complaints to EA, and they will solve this issue ASAP.

“…this time I will not patch it to see if that makes a difference.”

Sorry bud, but that won’t work. You NEED to patch the game before installing it. I tried installing the game before the patch (because I heard it screwed up some people’s games) and the installer gave me an error message saying that I need to patch before installing the expansion.
