I agree with everything said here, I also wonder do EA test these updates before release (more than likely not) I own every single sim 4 game release that I've spent hundreds of dollars on and I love mods to perk up game play that's to my liking and it sucks that since this update and hotfix that I'm still unable to play my game. I've decided that if my game play does not go back to the way I like it and get back to functioning properly that I will not spend another dime on sims 4. I personally think the marketplace is not for me and I feel like the marketplace mainly benefits creators so they can start getting paid for their creations.
Honestly, I’m not sure how thoroughly EA tests these updates, but I’m assuming they do—and if it meets a certain threshold, it gets released. That’s just my guess, and yes, it’s definitely frustrating when time and money are spent on making the game feel like your own, not just another typical “let’s be twins” kind of content, only for it to get ruined.
I honestly considered quitting the game for good, but I’ve decided to go through every mod and wait for updates to re-add them if the creator ever releases them. I also don’t plan on using the Marketplace—it’s not for me. I agree that it mostly benefits approved creators, those partnered with EA/Sims, and EA itself, likely through payments from other users/simmers.
