Maxis Releases a Patch For The Sims 2
senocular writes "Maxis has recently released an update for The Sims 2 (both CD and DVD versions). One of the major issues resolved in the update is the incessant jump bug which caused Sims to erratically "jump" out of social situations making the game unplayable for many players." Another nasty bug (fixed in this patch) that I've encountered is one where stranger Sims walk off the lot with a baby!
No mention of fixing the "can't select object in use" bug that seams to have infected over half my lots. Typically if some poor sim has a fire while cooking, after the firemen put it out the object on the stove can't be selected. The stove becomes unusable and can't even be sold.
It's not just fires that cause this bug. I've also had toilets that can't be used because they are apparently in use; by invisible sims I guess. IIRC that's due to a sim being forcably removed from the object by a house event, like a birth; death; wedding or something like that.
I've been bitten by the disapearing small objects bug a few times. Nice to see that this patch fixes it. Would be nicer to think that applying the patch would give me the objects back.
