Simcity Patches up to 1.8

***********

I apologize to the 11 people who were downloading patches up to 1.7, it refused to seed because I updated my copy of Simcity to 1.8

***********

This is the patch folder straight out of my activated copy of Simcity Limited Edition. I am putting this out to help anyone in the cracking process that would like to see the files for the updates through patch 1.8

The directory location in the installed game is:

C:Program Files (x86)Origin GamesSimCitySimCityUserDataPatches

I am not sure if these updates are specific to only the Limited Edition or can be used for all.

Please use the files as you see fit.
