It is a testimony to the genius of the person who actually invented the concept of The Sims, that we still want to play this game, despite the many obstacles in the way of fully enjoying it. I have to admit, I have been willing to jump through all the hoops, just so I can finally arrive at the the place I have a working, reasonably glitch-free game. Sims mean that much to me.
But the hoops are getting bigger, and more difficult to jump. I wish it were not so. Once I get The Sims 3 stable, with seasons and faeries added into the mix, I don't know that I'd have the heart/trust to move on to The Sims 4. I don't know if I'll have the stamina to do this all over, again.
amjoie,
I think you put it very well. Your last two paragraphs that I quoted describe where I am right now.
When it comes to computer support for The Sims, my family has disowned me. Still determined to play my game, I hired a college student on an "as needed" basis for computer support. I lost her somewhere with patch 1.31, 1.32 or 1.33. :?
I can only name one person on the forums that has not had issues since the latest patch. So here I sit at patch 1.29 afraid to go any further. Without a new improved patch, I have jumped through my last hoop.
Also thank you for the tree in the driveway story. That could save some hair pulling.
