the sims 2 is also has the worst bug, remember the sims 2 freetime? when the game released there is a bug that gypsy matchmaker will always drop genie lamp when you call her.

ea released a patch (failed patch) on Saturday, ‎May ‎10, ‎2008. the patch size is 17.8MB and when some player install it, it WILL DESTROY your game completely! they receive many complain and many site tell to not install the patch, if you already install it you must reinstall all your game 1 by 1. ea remove this update from the sims 2 website and at last on Tuesday, ‎June ‎03, ‎2008, finally ea launched the "real" patch, the patch size is 84.7 MB.

btw, i still keep the failed patch for my collection. if someone want it i can upload it for you... lol
