I've been using it for two days now and the thumbnails in CAS and Build/Buy are loading so fast! I was used to it being a long and boring wait.
(I haven't noticed any difference in game loading time and in gameplay, and I don't know if my CPU is getting too hot - I had no idea this was a thing I should be monitoring until I read this thread.)
I use Core Temp to monitor. Usually in Sims 3 my CPU runs at about 65c occasionally going up to 68c. With this patch installed, it was running at 67c and went up to 71c occasionally. These are acceptable temperatures. I don't think it's really necessary to constantly monitor temps, but Sims games are so CPU intensive I just wanted to make sure it was okay when my fans kicked into overdrive.
