for me, Eco is still worth playing, and not everyone has the glitches or the same glitches. And what be a major glitch to you may be minor to someone else. Despite the glitches, I believe it is still one of the best packs they put out. All packs have glitches and it will always be that way. I think you would be waiting for a long time.
@SisterGloomy, that is entirely up to you. 🙂 However, until some of the bugs get fixed I am only playing new Save Game files so that any bugs will not mess up any long time save games of mine. 😉
@RavenLure, usually glitches are just things that happen to your game and probably can't be replicated with any consistency in anybody else's game. This would include things like Sims randomly getting stuck and need to be reset.
Bugs, however, are things that usually apply to most people, at least if they meet the right conditions. (There is even a Bug Report forum here on AHQ!) For example there was a long period of time that many of the plants at the Romance Festival (City Living) would be in odd areas, some floating in the air or spawning under tables. This bug has been fixed, but while it was active it happened to everybody who went to the Romance Festival. 😉 Here are a couple of pictures showing misplaced plants and dirt piles for those not in season.

@RavenLure, I agree, I am enjoying the Eco Living pack so far.🙂 I do wish it had a bit more explanation, but I have been having fun discovering things as I play! 🥳
@SisterGloomy, I've been having problems with Sims cancelling what they are doing for well over a year. I guess you are lucky that you are only having problems with it now. As for the other things you mentioned, I haven't had them occur yet in my game. So far I haven't had the Sharing is Caring NAP enacted, and the only negative NAP I have had is the Roughhousing one. But once I realized that if our Sims have enough influence points we can vote more than once, I haven't had any problems with getting the NAPs that I want and keeping the ones I don't want from being voted through! 🙌
I do realize that some people are reporting that NAPs enacted in other neighborhoods will bleed through to theirs. So far this hasn't happened to me.🤞 This might be because for each household I play I play with an entirely different Save Game file. Maybe that doesn't make a difference, but it seems to be the only explanation I can think of for why this hasn't happened to me yet. 🤔🤨 I might have to test that out soon! 🤓
As for the pets that go missing, I haven't had that happen either, but I have been avoiding playing pets since the pre-pack patch, with the exception of one household where I needed to use a pet to test a friend's house that she made. So far the dog has not gone missing. But that is the only house I've played a pet in since then. 🤔
@Psychotps, I haven't tried all the new items yet, but so far the fabricator and the fizzy juice maker are working just fine! 🙂 The Eco footprint may be broken, but I also wonder if I just expected it to work a certain way and that I've been wrong in assuming how it would work.🤨 I do wish they had given more explanation in how some of the new systems and items work in this pack.- Psychotps6 years agoSeasoned Ace@PugLove888
Well, I have to check the Fabricator again since this latest "patch" claimed to "fix" it, but the audio problem with it was so bad it was completely unusable.
The juicer is still broken. It still tends to seize up for days on end. The last time I tried to use it, it never worked again. I just ended up selling it. It was more trouble than it was worth. I use it once or twice and it locks up for three or four days. Sometimes it never works again and you just have to sell it and buy another. It's not worth it.
The pack is horribly broken. I'm actually considering just disabling the whole thing. I haven't done that since Seasons when they nerfed the entire gardening system.
If they don't start fixing these things, I may not be long for the Sims. The future of the game is starting to look extremely bleak from where I'm sitting.
Look at it! They released a pack, charged people MONEY for it, and the ENTIRE THING is broken! Why are we paying for this stuff?
I LOVE the sims, but I can't in good conscience pay for something THIS horribly broken.
It's not right.
