Although not advertised yet at the official site, there is a patch for FreeTime. This patch was made available some time ago, but has been recalled due to installation problems with it, according to the German site and this BBS thread. That means the patch is being updated and still being worked on. Nevertheless the installation file is still available on EA's FTP server. So while trying it out may cause new problems rather than solving them (and unfortunately it is not known which bugs should be solved by the patch), you can try downloading the 17.4 Mb patch from here. Use at your own risk!
