How is everybody holding up?

I feel like I want to ask the devs that question too! After the intial reaction of horror it suddenly dawned on me, imagine having so many people upset with something you've put so much work into and imagine making such a massive howler...and I don't mean the werewolves (at least those howlers were intentional). So I'm guessing a real rough few days and a lot of work to fix things quickly with a few million people pretty furious and waiting and waiting and waiting. That's a lot of pressure. I hope someone is making them coffee and maybe giving out occasional hugs! I know this has caused just as much hassle for them if not more. Hang in there guys!

I've had a difficult time with the Sims this year already, needing to take breaks twice now because of buggy gameplay and telling myself the next update has to fix it. I'd really pinned my hopes on this update being the big one. This was the one I hoped would fix the random mean interactions, the broken dog walking, the teleporting, the excessive phonecalls, the de-stressing dedoction brewing all over the place, the harvestables floating in the air, the queue cancelling, the weird autonomy problems, the walking through solid objects...and about 50 other things plus the crashing. I opened it up to look at build mode after the update to see if a bug was fixed (yay, they fixed the curtain snapping outside) it crashed after about 5 mins.

I have other games but this one is the one that feels like an investment. It's literally one of the most expensive things in my house. Right now it's just sat there again. I'd just added Wedding Stories and got about a week out of it.

So I sit with my Animal Crossing and wait and I want to say to the little characters "well my house here may be tiny but my Sims houses would show you a thing or two!"
