Open for Business gets its first patch
It was only a matter of time. With the number of things I’ve run into with the limited amount of time I’ve had to play, I can only imagine the trouble die-hard gamers have encountered. Judging from the list of items covered on the Open for Business patch, it appears to be quite a few.
The biggest fix which I’m glad to see included is: The game will no longer load indefinitely on lots that contained ReNuYuSenso Orbs prior to installing Open For Business. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have these aspiration changing orbs on a good many of my lots. Using the boolprop makes me nervous, but that’s been the only way I could play up until now. Of course, I’m taking their word it’s fixed - I haven’t played the game since installing the patch.
Other (pretty important) bugs that are corrected in this patch:
- Sims with final and class at the same time will no longer always miss final.
- Game will no longer lock out when traveling to a community lot from home in a car.
- Servo’s Do Chores function will no longer override the Free Will off setting.
- Visiting Sims will no longer get stuck after drinking lemonade.
- Wholesale Discount Difference is accurately subtracted when toggling items “Not for Sale”.
- Game will no longer go into triple speed upon driving onto Downtown lot.
- Furious setting will now decrease over time so that Sims do not stay Furious forever.
They’ve also updated the Run with Scissors object so it works with Open for Business. I’ve used this little object to beat the grim reaper a few times. These are a great way to get those knowledge Sims saved from death (provided you have someone in the house that can handle the pleading with old Grim).
