Another patch and the new EP is not out yet? Ginormous blow to all the mods I use?

Sigh... I don't have SN and I gotta look at this? Where's the instructions to turn that loading screen off already?

I'm looking through those changes and I'm just like what the hell have they done? I expected major patches with the series coming to an end, but Jesus take the entire car.

What have they DONE.

IDK, 950 different XMLs seems like a whole lot to me. Even if they're minor, stupid changes that nobody really cares about and the details may not even be noticed.... nearly 1000 things altered in some way? Y i k e s.

To be honest, I can really understand why they'd need to update that many resources. And frankly, most of the changes are ITUN files, not XMLs, which are all about interactions. The EP includes a new life state with their own dependent trait, which is why I'm sure they need to consider to update all the interaction files (more less like how Pets needs to add a lot of interactions for the new 3 species). Maybe like Evil Plumbots are likely to do mischief is handled in the ITUN, because if they don't behave properly evil, I'd be pissed as well.

Unless, of course, I'm wrong, because I haven't had the patch yet.

You're pretty much spot on, Having patched to 1.63, it does appear many of the affected xml/itun changes are IFC related. I even went as far as to test the game without removing any of my current Nraas and tuning mods, the game loaded without a hitch and so far no errors or issues either.

I'm really disappointed that this is the last EP. I love this game and wanted it to end on a high note. This is the first EP that's really not interesting me. The new kiss is cool, plus a few other objects but that's pretty much it.

I won't be getting this on release date, but one day when it's on sale.

The only good thing about this EP is that it's the last. No more updating mods after this except to improve them ^_^

Are those the actual lot types or references in the game files? Also, Servo Bot Arena?

Wait... that looks so staged! You can't place props in that angle on a stage! And what's that platform in the middle of the stage? And the searchlight?

Geez. And I thought the images would be official screenshots. If they decided to add made-up images, why don't they just hide a freezer bunny and actually ask us to find it?

Not sure if this is an issue for core mods (and yes, I did already post at Twallans but I thought I post here too).

Seems there is a minor labeling difference between the incremental and the super patch. According to SimGuruRusskii it's just that though, a labeling difference.

Superpatch will put you at 1.63.5 and incremental at 1.63.4

EDIT: Since the build version seems to be the same, I was told by nonamena that it's not an issue. Very thankful for that.

Question: If I don't intend to ever add the Into the Future EP to my game, do I need to install this patch? I'm patched up to 1.57 and very happy with my game performance. Really don't want to screw it up.

Probably not this patch, but there will more than likely be other ones down the line you'll want/need to install since there is no way this is the final one.

I can't find it, WHERE IS THE FUCKING SINGER?? Hurr durr

They could have at least tried to make it a bit of a challenge...

Anyway I only patched up to 1.57 yesterday so I'm in no rush to patch up again, there's nothing tempting in that patch at all!

There are differences in the end-result though, although insignificant and not relevant to gameplay. At least, I don't think so. They differ by 2 image files. I finished all my testing, so you guys can see for yourself in the Incr vs Super section - Game_Help:TS3_Patching:Patch_Note_1.63wiki.

And for simplicity sake, I'm only publishing the link to the 1.63.5 Superpatcher in the wiki (both Win & OSX). Let's hope that is sufficient to keep the Help issues to a minimum, FWIW.

But you're saying 641 files were updated between the two ? Just for those two images ?

Also did you find out why the region 1 incremental is so big ? Is it the super patch in a form ?

EDIT: I think I'll keep posting about it to a minimum. Did try getting some more info from Russkii and AnswerHQ Staff.

950 XMLs are not a problem as long as all known glitches are fixed for good.
