@Janaque I understand your frustration and burnout with The Sims 4, but as someone who has a 9to5 in a big corp with several layers of middle management, lemme tell you: the developers KNOW.
They’re also probably as frustrated as you are, but impotent to implement fixes due to internal bureaucracy.
Modders are like jet skis: they can move fast and do sharp turns, unemcumbered and agile.
Maxis/EA is like a cargo ship filled to the brim with tons and tons of baggage: moving such a leviathan takes time and energy.
You are absolutely right when it comes to voting with your wallet! But I hope you give the developers some leeway and grace when it comes to working things out in a HUUUGE bureaucracy that requires unending paperwork to implement each and every semicolon in a code that’s 10 years old and (somehow miraculously) runs in potatoes like the original PlayStation 4.

@HALirious9k Yeah no doubt EA and the stake holders and upper management are not giving enough resources and funds to the programmers to make The Sims 4 great, or even working. And are demanding new content to make more money off of. my warning is that they are at the point of loss of trust, which will permanently loose their customers to other platforms and we won't come back. The money grab without quality products is killing their franchise.
