It's been a while since the first patch for Seasons was released. Recently the second patch has been released, pulled back and re-released again at the official site. The first release of this second patch reintroduced the crying babies bug, but that has been fixed and the fixed version has been out since last week Monday. The list of fixes is long, so here are just some highlights of the new fixes:

• Sims will no longer pop out of the pool to recognize that it's raining.
• Drinking Orangeade will now add random badge points correctly.
• In Education Career Level 4, Sim will now actually lose 475 Simoleans as the UI states, and not get demoted.
• In Education level 7, Sims will no longer lose all their Simoleans and get demoted, but rather lose the amount shown in the UI as expected.
• Players will now be warned before the Social Worker takes away children for temperature neglect.
• Inventory will now update visually when using "undo" after inventory is empty.
• Seasonal Progression from home lot will now properly transfer to owned community lots.
• Drinking Orangeade without Open for Business installed will no longer display an incorrect skill badge.
• Sims will no longer spontaneously combust so easily (hot tubs, exercise machines, etc.).
• Sims will now much more rarely route through swimming pools when trying to reach locations.
• Snow saved on Community Lots will now melt properly.
• Sims will no longer take repeated baths or showers when cold.
• Vampires will now not get out of their coffin in the daytime to watch weather.
• Ottomas twins' father data is now correct.
• Sims will no longer die as easily by being struck by lightning.
• Visiting "Townie" Sims will not die as often when struck by lightning.
• Sims will be smarter about seeking out the shortest path to take to player-directed locations.
• "It's Raining" interactions will not continue to occur after a Sim has seen the weather several times.
• Teens who happen to age to an adult at the top of Music Career Track on a work day will no longer 'miss work' and get negative job performance.
• Arch doorways will now trigger Sims to change to Outerwear during winter.
• Children will no longer levitate when they watch a birth.

For the total that means there are 44 new fixes, along with the 3 earlier fixes. Not all of them will properly affect on existing saved games, and thus replacing an affected object, family, lot or neighborhood that still does not work after installing the patch may be necessary. The patch weighs around 47 Mb, and can be downloaded from the Seasons patch page. Of course earlier updates for previously released Sims games are also still available, and those patches may need to be applied for the correct behaviour of your Sims game as well.
