Why haven't EA posted about this?
I logged in and it asked me to update my Sims 2 game, I was like whaaaaaaaat?
Firstly it's not even on Origin to buy, why a patch?
Anyway I downloaded it and the icon changed from the Mansion and Garden stuff icon to its own icon which is a plumbbob with stars around it.
So weird. I'm guessing they may have just improved performance??? Idk

The loading screens look like they are on fast forward or something. Like its flashing really quickly.

It doesn't on Windows 10 I believe. TheSimSupply couldn't get rid of the boxes with the shadow set to Medium or off. He had to cancel his series because of it.

It was working for my son on windows 10 .None of our games are locked into origin. Just thinking maybe its a problem for those who are locked into origin ? We downloaded TS2 UC before ea started this whole locked into origin business.

This.
Is it just for people who don't have the UC since I do and I'm not seeing the update anywhere? I have launched the game from my TS2 UC icon from my window screen and I even went through Origin and don't see anything about an update when I hover my mouse over TS2 UC...

I am guessing at the moment its for people who have ts2 UC locked into origin. I take it you have the old version of TS3 UC that does not require origin. If you uninstalled TS2 UC and reinstalled it my guess is you would now be locked into origin and would not be able to play the game without origin.
all this update does according to jackjack is fix the shadow box underneath the sim but if you put shadows on med it takes away the box
Thank you. I did what you said and now it's updating...

It's still not locked into Origin. I have the TS2 UC on my old account and was able to sign back into my new one and it worked fine.
It's not the only fix it has. There's no more lag when you use the eye dropper tool, the loading screens are much faster after the initial boot up. The game itself looks a lot clearer although I'm sure it will look better with the resolution hack.
They've definitely done a few things to it. The question is, why? It doesn't make any sense.

Who knows. Im still questioning why we need to be locked into origin on TS3 and no patch to fix things
Maybe it's because more people are playing it again now? I've been on a sims 2 kick the last two months since I installed it on my windows 10 laptop because my dino-pc hummed its last hum...but I never stopped playing it. But I have watched probably every sims 2 let's play there is on youtube and I know that there are some who never had even played ts2 until the UC was on Origin. So maybe they did the update because of that.
Just speculating.
I'm guessing any game that has online content in the game will get updates which will improve security. I've noticed that offline games most often don't need to be locked into Origin but online games do.
I reckon the patch for the Sims 3 recently may have included some minor security updates just to make sure when your game connects online that there's no threats.

If you've got the Mansion and Garden stuff logo, you're running the old one. That's the best way to tell.

Yeah but EA make no money off the Sims 2 anymore so it seems weird to me that they want to put more money into the game that's free.
Also they said the UC would no longer be supported which is why it was free. So it's really weird why they did end up supporting it haha

Thanks
Its to lock you into origin. The only reason. They think its going to stop people from pirating the game however the original discs are still out there. You can still buy them brand new sealed that don't require origin. We went years without origin and I still play without it. Origin has caused more problems on my computer than anything else. Especially with the sims 4
Well...the start up is "Fun with Pets" but it was always like that, but in the neighborhood selection screen the Mansion & Garden logo is there so...I'm confused. Is it supose to be like this? I have checked for updates and I believe there was something like 27 mbs or close to that so..
I hope this patch doesn't screw up any mods, especially since some of the authors have long retired.
