How long does it take to fix bugs and glitches?

I have been very fortunate in last 9 1/2 years to have not experienced most of the bugs and glitches that some have reported in The Sims 4.  Unfortunately since the Lovestruck Exp. and now the Grim Reaper event, the last few weeks have been difficult to play due to so many problems.  How long does it take EA to address and fix problems usually?

  • Well, many years ago, there was a non-interactive sims bug where all the times would stand around and not interact with each other. I reported the bug, and it took like 4-5 months to fix. We have some critical eye bug issues happening right now (sims eye shape has changed, eyelids not closing properly, and lighter eyelashes with preset eyes) that affect the appearance of the sims that have been introduced into the game since the patch before the release of Lovestruck. I haven't been able to play the game since because I use TS4 for storytelling, and I can no longer take screenshots. I read the other week that someone mentioned that after 1 year a bug that was preventing the person from playing was finally fixed in the recent update. Sadly, some bugs take a long time, and some never even get fixed. 2 out of the three critical eye bug issues are open and they are looking into, but one is not even open or being looked at despite numerous people reporting the issue.

    Here are problems (already reported) that I am currently dealing with: Festivals in San Myshuno spawning on each other and not disappearing when festival over; unable to get seated at restaurant when on date; voices on male dates from gallery creators  in cupid's corner always have female voices; sim returns from work but still says at work and sim can't do somethings at home; sims couple broke up, one sim tried to split from household and move out but game would not allow and would not let me out of moving out screen so I just had to shut down the game.  It is getting beyond frustrating!  And I know theremay be a couple other issues I just can't remember now.
