 Belated April Fool's Joke? Not at all. Patch 1.36 is out!

It sounds too good to be true, but on June 26 the French site of The Sims 3 published the notes for a patch numbered as 1.36. This comes courtesy SimsVIP via the official (US) forums. Here's the link: http://fr.thesims3.com/game/patches/880316402 And here are the notes: Quote:
My verdict: management at EA HQ have given up on the Sims 3 and now the developers are finally allowed to do as they please  EDIT: As of July 9 2012 the patch numbered 1.36 is finally out and the leaked notes are true to the fact. So, unless the EA Sims department has eventually been moved to Lunar Lakes and it is April 1 there, I guess it's safe to assume that after all this patch is not a joke. |

That sounds ... plausible. Especially the bit that explains the relation-hit Performers get. |

I am struck by the fix for the flute forward disappearing leg bug. I say it is about time they fixed that dress! It has been broken a long time. |

Gosh, yes, how dare they try to fix a few things if they can. That is, of course, if the patch exists in the first place. |

Seriously doubt that is the case. If anything they are working to keep their customer base. Players are not going to continue to buy a product that is broken with no attempt to ever fix the issues. | |

It's sad when our first reaction to the Simstudio doing something properly is utter shock and disbelief. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. |

Thank God for the relationship fix, this one was a bit annoying. No more wants to be friend again spam. And again. And again... After 20 shows it grows on you! However I'm a bit worried for the "when the appropriate stage objects have been placed" part. Do that mean that there will be one label for both venues and that the venue will have to have two different stages to work with both features? 'cause that takes a lot of space! Knowing EA, that will be the case.

Actually, you only need one big stage. Maybe a 10x8, which is still kinda big. Even the stage with the Giant over sized rig will work with everything if you adjust it right. The thing is is that you have to size it properly so you can cram the instruments in a place where there wont be a need to use that section of space. I easily (with with move objects) got a guitar, bass, elec. piano and drum kit on the stage, and still had room for a performer to perform and the band to play. | |

Exactly  . When I read it I immediately thought it was a hoax. Why? Because some of the things that are now listed as fixed have never even be acknowledged as being broken. Dozens of Simmers at the official forums were told that either their computers were at fault or their eyes were damaged when they reported the green tint in CAS and in-game.And regarding the dress the usual answer was: Missing leg? What missing leg? The Showtime lots functioning as Late Night bars was a request and now the patch answers that request!  As I said, it sounds too good to be true. Of course, I hope it's true and that they continue with this new approach

April Fools is a somewhat Anglocentric concept, but suffice to say that EA announcing a patch that actually does something is akin to the BBC reporting on this year's Italian spaghetti harvest. |

I remember reading a while back that they planned to fix the Flute Forward dress. They also said they planned to make a wishing well, and I see that the wishing well has now materialized...so I guess it is time for the dress to be fixed also. I am glad that the dress is going to be fixed, but I do have such fond memories of laughing long and loud at the missing leg. (Of course, I never owned the dress myself.) |

I admit I was extremely skeptical when I first read it. I sincerely hope that it's not someone's idea of an April Fool's joke, but let's just say I'll believe it when I see it. It sounds way too good to be true, especially that part about allowing the clubs and performance venues to be combined. |

Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket!? |

I have been waiting for the DEP thing for 2 years, is it possible its ready to play now, or are sales lagging and Customers need their basegame to work to get expansions? ****The light goes on*** Nooo its that they heard that I personaly just reinstalled the Operation System so they don't need to worry that I might have too much fun with the game. | |

Typically, EA patches do not fix a bunch of stuff. Or, to clarify, EA patches frequently fix inconsequential or unimportant bugs. They usually do not fix major issues, or add requested features such as allowing for venues and LN bars/clubs to be combined. This patch reads like a patch list that many users might really want to see. Thus, the concern that this patch is a joke, and cannot be real. It is out of character for EA to offer a patch like this. BTW, I don't ever recall a detailed patch list being leaked like this. Certainly, the fact that it's been about 2 days since the "leak" and we still don't have it raises my suspicion this is not legit. |

So much different that they also decided to have their patch notes in English now? All the others are in French, and these notes are from June 26, that's five days and no sign of the actual patch. I would believe that this is legit if it contained other notes like: "Fixed a rare issue that caused unicorns to trip over their own tails when trying to use a Time Machine in the personal inventory of a female Simbot." That's the kind of patch notes that I am used to in addition to "Additional bug fixes and polish to existing features" ETA: BTW I think this would be the very first game patch that addresses issues with Store items. Of course this would be totally EA if the missing leg was actually caused by some major bug in the graphics engine and that instead of saying that they fixed that they tell you that you'll get your leg back. |
