I followed the steps posted elsewhere here for applying the patch, verifying the files, deleting the cache, ect. I then put the files into the sim that's been patched and re-patched several times. Every launch would would end up in a lock up or the game would quit responding. Redid the patch several times with the same result. Finally I deleted the game and re-downloaded. Went thru all the steps again. Result, over three hours of play without a glitch. Absolutely unheard of for me. I know it isn't supposed to make any difference as far as the patching goes, but it worked for me. If you're still having issues it is worth a try.
As far as the patched sim goes, IMHO, it actually seems much improved in many respects. Much smoother, much more stable. Definitely a step in the right direction. I sure hope this points towards an end product we all have longed for.
