Community Concerns with Save File Issues

Thanks for this article. It was very informative and helpful.

My concern is, and I know this is probably out of developers' hands and probably more of a decision of upper level management, is that more content is still being released. Doesn't that just add more variables into the mix that you have to examine when you investigate issues? I know Sims 4 will never reach a point where 100% of issues are fixed, but isn't continuing to release DLC detrimental to the process of fixing problems?

Another question I have is more clarification about us playtesting. Given that it was mentioned that y'all are having a hard time finding players who have played without mods/cc, would a player be able to simply do a clean uninstall/reinstall of the game and playtest without adding mods/cc?

Also, since the article mentioned there was a paid group of testers, would they be able to do testing without mods/cc or are they already doing so? Given that it requires no mods/cc, I would imagine this would be easier to do for testers since the environment already likely has no mods/cc.

Again, thanks for the in-depth information. I really do hope that over time, these issues are resolved, because it does create a wariness to play the game because it may cause players to have to start over and lose so much they put into their saves.
