Just a heads up if you're playing on a mac, I'd wait with installing the new patch. After installing it my launcher refused to work, and even after fixing that my game still crashes while loading the neighborhoods. Lurked a while on the official boards, it seems like more people are having this problem, but no fix yet (apart from reinstalling, I think). I don't know if PC users are having the same problem. Edit: Updating Twallan's mod made me able to play again The launcher problem from the patch makes any store content/cc installed via the launcher invisible/not working/gone, but right now I'm just happy to be able to play

For the Windows version, there is a cumulative patch they released for this patch release which I've had installed without any problems--however, I made a point of backing up first just in case.
I still don't know why (my download manager is up-to-date), but I haven't been able to do patch updates via the launcher since Ambitions, so I manually have had to patch everything which is how I was able to patch this with the cumulative patch versus individual patches for every pack I have installed (the cumulative patch idea is new for this release--I saw thought I saw somewhere a recommendation to go that route if having to patch manually).
The new patch is causing problems for some Mac users, however, from what I've seen--and EA appears to be aware of it as I know I've seen a member of the TS3 team even comment on that. Here's hoping they take a page out of the Sims Medieval teams book and repair it soon for Mac users!

Ahh! I was wondering why the patch wasn't showing up for me. I'll go hunting for the manual patch then.
