If the game is currently working fine for you, then no, there is no reason
whatsoever to apply this patch. There is no new content in the patch, only a
fix for timing problems within GPL that manifest themselves on very fast
processors (>1.7 Ghz).

Are you buying or selling? <G>

"Used wife for sale or swap. Has seen good use but still has some years
of utility left. Comes with 2 add-ons but no patches."

I"ll have to eat my words that Papyrus won't ever support GPL anymore <G>

Okay now what about a 1982 unsupported patch?  ;-P

I just want to say thanks to all of the folks at Papyrus for this patch.
Prior to this patch, I thought for certain that my GPL days were over. I can
confirm that the patch works like a charm!

Thanks,
Robert

Well I was a bit negative about new patches/fixes via a 3-yr old sim but
I know now that 'Papy is 1000% customer conscious' & not only to the
masses either! My apologies to all at Papy for doubting your "go-ahead
& do it" attitude! Hats off to a great group.. I hope Sierra realizes what
a fantastic group they are! Also a big thanx to Eric.. I think the patches
just might have been pushed thru a tad' via him..eh?.....lol
Thank You Guyz... Cheers Thom_j.

  It just goes to show you..   I spent the better part of the last week
trying to convince you all that Papy would never again work on GPL.
Man....I can't beleive they bought my sinister reverse psychology plot.
Now...step two...
  NO WAY...NO WAY EVER THAT PAPYRUS WILL MAKE ANOTHER CART SIM ESPECIALLY
BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR....

Thank you Papyrus for continuing to support GPL, I hope this means the same
for N4 if a similar situation arises in the distant future.
