Installation
Please do NOT interrupt the installation of the patch. The patch is for North America and Europe.

Patch notes

 * Many memory leaks have been fixed. This will alleviate game stability problems when playing the game for an extended number of hours.
 * We sped up a number of game processes for Windows XP users, which means they will spend less time waiting and more time playing the game.
 * Corrupted skins will no longer crash the game. Invalid skins will now show up in the game as a plain white skin.
 * Load times have been improved for all systems getting users into the game quicker than ever.

Important notes

 * If you have Unleashed, or a subsequent expansion pack, you do not need to install this patch.
 * Please note that you must run The Sims at least once before running the Sims Deluxe patch.
