How many people are NOT installing "Late Night" when they buy it?

Simple question, just like the subject line states; who here is not installing Late Night as soon as they buy it?
Personally, I have LN pre-ordered, but I won't install it until I can be sure that it'll work correctly. I pre-ordered WA, Amb, HELS, and FLS, and I actually waited for EA to patch the game before installing WA. I still haven't gotten around to install Amb, HELS, and FLS, but that's another story.
I also would like to keep the launcher from accessing the internet so that the game can't tell me that I need an update. The $500 dollar box I use for Create-A-World won't be a problem; it has no Wi-Fi connectivity and I need to physically connect either my second cable modem or a device with Wi-Fi and turn on Internet sharing if I want to update TS3. My Mac Pro is another story; it has Wi-Fi connectivity, and I admittedly worry that it will try to force me to update the game whether or not I want to. The reason I don't want to update the game until I'm sure the latest version will work is primarily because of the WA debacle and to a lesser extent, issues with Amb.
Obviously some people will need to be the first to install LN to know if there's a problem, but is anyone besides me ordering it with the intention of putting the disc aside until they're sure that it won't break there game? I'd be curious to here from both Mac and Windows users, and to hear why you are or aren't installing LN as soon as you get it, especially if you installed WA, HELS, Amb, and FLS right away and dealt with the issues that those particular expansion and stuff packs had at launch.

I can't wait to play it.
A Rainbow is a promise of God
I'll definitely be playing it right away. Because I've been waiting for so long
Whatever, to each their own. I have boughten every stuff/expansion pack on release date and haven't had a problem.
I'll be putting it in as soon as I get it.
That way when the game does come, I am aware of any issues and I can just play.
I wish with WA that I waited 2 or 3 days. The problem with the 1.16 patch destroyed my 8 generation hood. It even rendered all of my back up saves to be useless. 2 days later a fixed patch came out. So if I had waited, I would still be playing my favorite sims and hood.
So yeah, I don't mind waiting 1-3 days after release. I wouldn't wait longer than a week to install it though. I could never hold off that long.
Can't wait!
I read so many bad things about the base game before I managed to get it installed on the day of release that I was extremely nervous while it was installing. I was nervous for nothing. I had no problems with it.
I have learned to just go ahead and install because if I go by what I read on the forum I would never install anything.
Shoot, I didn't even buy WA and AMB until a while after they were released. I wanted to see what problems would arise and if they could be fixed. Most have or, at least, they aren't a problem in my game (except for excavating and the occasional hands being behind the back).
I'll probably stalk the forums, see what kind of problems people are having first. I don't want to mess up my game or computer.
I'm not too upset though, because this way I don't have to pay for it and hopefully a patch will be out by then. Plus I can see if there are any problems that could mess up my existing families from talk on the forums.
I love BTS and Ariana Grande.
And I'll definately let you know how the game plays when I get it
edit: whoopsie typo LOL
