Default Apartment Life (EP8) Patch 1
Yes, it's PATCH time!

EA have released the (first) patch for Apartment Life.

Please first BACKUP your game and remove any hacks or objects that may conflict.

You can download the patch here.

This patch raises the game version to 1.16.0.187.

N.B: The advice from Moreawesomethanyou is that the 'Unofficial AL Patch' fix by J.M Pescado can still be left in your game after you apply this patch.
