Re: Provide a roll-back to prior patch option
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.108.349.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Base Game
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Patch the game.

What do you expect to see? A patch that doesn't break the game worse than it started.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Updated to 1.108.x
Given the disaster that the Lovestruck patch 1.108 has been, as well as the similarly botched launches of the For Rent and Crystal Creations patches, I'd like to suggest that EA add an option in the launcher to roll back to the previous major patch. This way, when a patch release breaks the game too badly to play yet again, players would have the option of going back to a relatively stable version, provided they had backup saves they could use.
Letting players launch the game without forcing them to either patch or prevent the EA App from going online would also be helpful.
Of course, the real solution would be to invest in quality assurance and slow down the release cycle so that patches aren't released with severe game-breaking issues to begin with, but we all know that isn't happening...
