Default upgrade 2 IV Deluxe?

Hi all, Ive been away from the game for over a year. Just wondering if the deluxe version is a worthwhile deal to download as its only $10. If so does anyone know if the download can be saved to a CD. Currently playing with Gold version. The announcment of V sparked my interest once again in the game.

Thanks all
CB

If you already have a legit copy of SEIV Gold or classic you can upgrade to deluxe for free. Just download the patches and install.

Yep, you should be able to find the required patches there.

Careful, or you might get some derision for not just waiting until SEV comes out.....

Those people you should just ignore.
Stock sucks, but Se4 rules once you've got the latest mods.

I can confirm this works, wildcowboy. I just recently upgraded my SE4 Classic (i.e. pre-Gold) to the latest deluxe for free.

I did have a bit of weirdness with installing the patch. I wound up having to find my SE4 CD (that took some doing!), do a clean re-install, and then patch that.

I have to say I like it. There are a lot of nice little features added, and some old annoyances removed.

And I agree with Suicide that you should ignore the h8ers, although I cannot share his enthusiasm for mods, or his scorn for stock SE4

So, let me know if you want a game, I'm rusty too

We're a pretty friendly bunch, although arguements do break out. They never last, though.
