I took a break at the start of the year because of crashing, I couldn't even load my game so I played some other games for a few weeks. Finally got it loading and then it was the gameplay that made me take another break. I couldn't do much without being hampered by bugs, even dog walking and cooking. Couldn't even have people over or meet up without them all queueing up to make de-stressing dedoction on any appliances nearby and just lining them up on the ground. Got a new Switch for my birthday and played a different, admittedly much smaller game on that but playing Sims afterwards, it really showed up the bugs. So I took another break for a bit and pinned my hopes on this update fixing at least some of the major gameplay bugs. After seeing players reactions and reports in the media I dare not even load up my game and I'm reaching out to other players I know and warning them of what has happened like it's an emergency. It's worse than I could have imagined.
I've worked in a government job and what I can't understand is how it meets consumer regulations. When a product is broken, the consumer is supposed to be protected. Instead here we are trying to help each other fix our games and commiserating with each others predicaments going back years. Surely that model is unsustainable.
Edit: just loaded up my game with great trepidation and went into build mode to check something. Then crashed on exit...still crashing, aargh!
