Feedback: Ability to Report Bugs From Within the Game

That is a very good idea, I would definately want this. I would suggest they remake the bug template as well, and management of the bug forum and information in it.

I think the arghument of making it easier for the actual consumer clientele is a good argument. By looking at the bug section the bug report template seems badly understood in large, and many express insecurities as to how the user folder works, a requisite for sending files, or even basic troubleshooting. It would be more user friendly.

Yes, you are right, that would pehaps also make more of the issues experienced by players to be recognized as bugs, and taken into account by the The Sims Team. Which in turn could lead to more players reporting bugs, since the bug process theoretically could be faster and more effective, and the result of reporting a bug, that is, it gets noticed by the right people and fixed; would be more secure and straight forward, and therefore giving the impression of being worth while.

@DonroaAkashu I agree.

If the developers want to use the forum method of bug reporting, they need to use proper forum software.  This forum software is not really meant for tracking bugs.  It is more for people engaging each other.  They can use something like Zendesk or Freshdesk as the backend.

Finding a reported bug is difficult.  Sometimes, with the search option, you have to go pages deep to find the bug report needed.  There is no tagging system for reporting bugs in the current forum system. This is why Crinrict has to create a large list of reported bugs.  If there was a tagging system and users can sort by tags, the list of bugs would be unnecessary.
