Indeed you are correct that Sobers date patch is optional. The reason I said the real patch and then later said its 48 MB is that allot of people were basing theirs off sobers which linked to a version only 0.3 MB in size (this all since fixed in his), and not the 48 MB mod authors patch. The problem with just using filenames is that when these sorts of mistakes happen the critical detail of the filesize is left out.
