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!
