Hi, I'm back to my work. As you understand, the patch is not ready yet. We are working on. If it was ready on Monday or Tuesday, it would be released without my participation, don't worry.

Who is worrying? Ah, yes, those guys who constantly profess their disgust with the sim, yet cannot seem to tear themselves away from it... - It is a love story, I tell you! :D

You yourself had a bug...:-P:-P

In my opinion this game has been worth what I paid for it, even as is, bugs and all. If it is ever perfected, it would be worth quite a bit more, at least to me.

actually, your judgement is the one flawed. an insignificant amount of money would still remain insignificant, or at least not too hurting/decent, even when multiplied with 5 or 10. like 1 euro. or 10. 50 euros are not actually an insignificant sum. and you might notice I've proposed the 5 lower figure too, for those not having so much money.

and in the end, using your own argument, its just 5 or 10 days of getting out and drinking some beer downtown.. isn't it?!!

I'm sure as a great lovers of this sim series you all are posing into, you can sacrifice a week of drinking for the better good of us all, wouldn't you?

I for one, even with all it's flaws and my not so big wallet, am willing to do that, because I can see it as an investment in the future of one of the most pleasant way I'm spending my free time (same as buying a new videocard for example), as long as MG stops this bullshit attitude towards us.

do you?!!

Cool it please gents. Ive deleted a couple of obnoxious personal attacks.. Please refrain or more infractions will flow.

Having browsed through this thread, I'm a little confused. Will this be a new beta patch? Or another version of the current beta patch? When are we likely to get an 'official', Steam hosted patch that non expert users such as myself can safely implement?

As the beta patch is only copy'n'paste even a 'non-expert' can safely implement it, as long as one is able to find and open a directory and has a free unpacker like i.e.7-zip installed.

Returning to original is even easier, just let steam verify your installation and voila, you are back were you started..

SimHateQ? I do not post there but I read there and find some good tips and materials in the main forum, which is not negative at all. They are created a subforum for the haters called 'extended' discussions, which I never visit, and the moderators are good to move all hate threads to there.

So I think SimHQ is very safe to visit.

I don't know about others, but I work for a living and barely have time to actually play my sims let alone learn C# scripting or start poking around for work arounds.

For the people that have done this....I applaud them for taking the time to try and find workarounds for this mess...but time isn't a luxury all of us have. If 1C was up front and marketed this as a "buy in Beta program" then you might have a better point. Telling us to be good little lemmings and just take it in the shorts for the $50 to $70 isn't gonna fly with everyone. People are frustrated...and have every right to be IMO.

I do have a point. We are not developers. We do this for free and other people may benefit from it. So their choices are to either help us, let us do our volunteer job, or "take it in the shorts" as you so eloquently put it.
Messing up the main medium of community communication is not letting us do our job, it's sabotaging it. Maybe some people do want to "take it in the shorts" and that's why they try to hinder us so much :grin:
