More posts about this elsewhere, than in the official EA forums...sad really. It really shows were the audience is and how much they trust EA and these forums!
The custom tats were one of the the main selling features of the B&H pack and silently, they put a limit and didn't warn anyone. Rentals were the main feature of the FR pack and there is a limit for those too, but they at least warned everyone. Then we get an official update on the save corruption bug, recommending we limit objects, CAS details, and built up lots we have in our saves. This takes painstakingly long and is literally punishing players for playing in a sandbox.
Sounds like the game is dying from the bloat of its own weight and it's honestly heartbreaking. I have played every Sims IP since 2001, I have owned all the packs for all of them. I have even ALMOST bought merch 😱
I consider myself to be pretty loyal to the Sims franchise, until these last 3 years. I think after the Sims 4 gets too bloated, I'm wiping my hands clean of EA and walking away.
EA is so focused on profit, they can't stop making DLC . They need to pause/focus fixing the Sims 4 and optimizing it so it can handle more DLC. The Sims 4 will end up like the Sims 3, bloated and unsustainable...except this time, the funding for Sims 5 has been cut and Project Rene is a mobile game...so there is no hope for the future of this franchise.
TLDR: The Sims 4 is becoming bloated and will get crushed under its own weight... probably soon.
