Lovestruck: How Broken Is It?

The Lovestruck EP has been out for a little while now, so it's a good time to do a good ol' round-up of the features and bug reports and find out how broken it is!

The most serious bugs I know of so far (that more than 10 people have reported)
1. Both played and unplayed sims can suddenly die of a broken heart without ever having had their heart broken https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/LS-Sim-who-has-never-been-heartbroken-died-of-broken-heart/m-p/13913181
2. Romantic relationships decline too fast, like while the partners are separated so that one can go to work for the day https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Romantic-Relationships-decay-become-negative-fast-with-no/m-p/13909651
3. Sims reset when trying to do romantic interactions- the interaction fails and a LastException is generated https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/LS-LE-Reset-when-trying-to-do-romantic-interactions/td-p/13928215
4. Dates fail to start or have blank UI menus, essentially breaking dates https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-LS-Create-a-date-UI-menu-blank/m-p/13905065
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-LS-Infinite-Loading-Screen-After-Planning-Date/m-p/13896504
5. Cupid's Corner doesn't successfully gather sims from the gallery, or something is glitchy with the age or gender or voice or CAS editing on the sim generated

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/LS-Cupid-s-Corner-matches-will-not-load/m-p/13937458
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-LS-No-gallery-Sims-on-Cupid-s-Corner/td-p/1390930
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-LS-Matched-sim-won-t-change-after-CAS-edit/m-p/13906652
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-LS-Gallery-Sims-from-Cupid-s-Corner-have-high-pitched/m-p/13905016
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/LS-Cupids-Corner-matches-do-not-honor-sexual-preference/m-p/13904059

I don't much care about Cupid's Corner, because I am a romantic Gen X lady who prefers to pretend that online dating doesn't exist, but I plan to wait to buy the pack until the other four bugs are fixed.

Unfortunately the Save Code Error 0 bug is back, which prevents people from saving their games. Unfortunately, it affects people who just have the basegame patch, not only people who bought Lovestruck. Using "Save As" helps some people, clearing out played sims' inventories of crystals and metals and elements helps some people.
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-PC-MAC-Save-Error-0-Patch-1-86-166/td-p/11414169
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/XB-PS-Error-Code-0/m-p/13909384

Does anyone else have feedback to share?

(If you have another bug to report, or you also have bugs I mentioned, please do me-too or report on AHQ!)

  • There's a new Laundry List! And it's a big one!

    I'm delighted with many of the fixes that are coming. Unfortunately, the news for Lovestruck bugs is not so good.

    1. Heartbreak deaths after no heartbreak - not on the list
    2. Romantic relationships decline too fast - not on the list
    3. Sims reset while trying to do romantic interactions - not on the list
    4. Dates fail to start - One circumstance when this happens, after previously canceling a blind date, is on the list: "A Sim who was met on a Blind Date and then canceled on now can be asked to Create a Date. Previously, the interface was blank."
    5. Cupid's Corner - Here's what is on the list:
      Gallery Sims will properly appear in Cupid’s Corner with the pack game option setting set to “enable Gallery Sims”.
      Gallery Sims are available again in Cupid’s Corner and the game no longer sometimes infinitely loads when traveling after adding one to your Sim’s contacts.

    Thanks for creating this list of bugs!
    Bug #1 'sims dying of a broken heart even without having a broken heart' is so frequent that in Sims 4 it is much easier to die from falling in love than for getting into a fight! 😝

    YES!

    I bought it when it first came out. Now I only want to use the food and build buy items....It's such a shame that the gameplay is a hot mess.
