Who is in favor of Sims/pets NOT losing relationships uploaded to your library?

Reason for this post:
1. saved characters in library lose all friendships and family-levels
2. The "Nature Is Calling" Patch introduced horrible "pitch black" bug and ruined all the save files!
3. restore unrecoverable, lost all painted pets textures
4. swapping/replacing the affected families with saved families in library

1. if you save Sim characters to your library and then put them back into the game, ALL friendships are lost and also the family relationship level to each other. This should be changed urgently!

2. The "Nature Is Calling" Patch ruined all the save files for Simmers with customized pets in it.

with the last "Nature Is Calling" patch, all of our Sims that had either painted tattoos (feature came with Business & Hobbies) or animals and werewolves that had custom fur, created with the in CAS paint tool, were lost and all affected characters appeared pitch black after said patch. It was not possible for the developers to restore already lost textures. Sims that had painted tattoos could be "repaired" by removing the painted tattoos, BUT with animals it was not so easy and to remove the custom, painted texture NO solution. If you removed the painted texture by clicking on the X, they were no longer black but then appeared in standard status and of course Simmers who havecustomized pets/fur did not want that., incl. me.

It was a lot of effort and work to edit your animals with the CAS paint tool. I'm sure everyone who loves animals has families WITH pets and more, maybe not all customized with the paint tool, but for most. Lots of Simmers created their RL pets with the CAS Paint Tool as good as they could. Some of us even contacted the Creator "pugowned" who has the astonishing talent to create very realistic pets, simply WITH THE CAS PAINT-TOOL, to have her create our in RL beloved and deceased pets. It was a punch in the face for me to see my beloved pets appear pitch black now after said patch and to read that the lost textures can not be restored.
The "hotfix" patch did NOT change that because already lost textures created by the "Nature Is Calling" patch could not be restored, as stated by EA_Cade, the latest "hotfix" patch was not retroactive and the customized textures on pets/horses/werewolves already impacted will stay that way. Their painted textures are forever lost and cannot be fixed.

So all our current save files are ruined because of this Nature patch and we were now left on our own to "fix" the issue. - Yes, in every game bugs can accure, but I'm sure that IF this patch were really play-tested BEFORE the rollout, something like this wouldn't have happened. I mean, how can a patch ruin ALL our save files and not being able to fix it and act like "oh well, sorry guys, already lost textures, caused by our "Nature Is Calling" patch, can not be restored" - unbelievable! 

3. to get around all the loss of unrecoverable textures, you can try to swap your BACKUP save files that were made BEFORE the big "Nature Is Calling" patch with the current destroyed save files and the pets will appear normal again. - I have done this with success! My pets appear "normal" again, BUT I'm done playing this game for now, just in case...
Of course, if you didn't have a backup BEFORE the patch, you are left out in the cold because the suggested attempts to restore an older save file are unsuccessful, as ALL save files in the game are and were affected by this disastrous destruction. In my case, the only thing that helped was replacing the current game files with my 2-month-old backup. Although the game and progress of Sims were lost, but the animals appeared normal again, which was more important to me personally. Yeah sure, some can live with the texture loss of their pets but some of us don't want to accept it so easily and just keep quiet. We have the right to express our displeasure over this because, after all, we paid a lot of money for a game we love.

4. there was also the option given of swapping/replacing the families saved in your own library with the current ones, that is IF they didn't already appear there in "pitch black", which brings me back to topic 1.
Even if you were lucky to replace a Sim or pet, all relationships would still be lost and you would have to recreate them MANUALLY. This is NOT a good solution and is also very time-consuming. So you are better off, replacing your save files with a backup and not loosing ALL relationships.

Final:
Since this said patch has destroyed all our current save files, I think something urgently needs to be done about the way our sim characters get saved into our libraries.
If the developers are no longer able to correct their own fatal mistakes and just leave it to the player to deal with the "rescue" on our own, then they should at least change the way our families get saved and unharmed into the library so that when families need to be replaced, to NOT also lose all their connections. That would at least be a good start.
