My TOP 20 Community Concerns

The New Laundry List will fix the Restaurant problem, and many more! With GRO many new bugs infiltrated the game, but the team is tackling them! Most of them involve infants stretching, so I assume that the main cause is the same.

There's lots on your list that have been bugging me for a long while, and I'm not happy that they're still not getting attention.

I would just like some older bugs fixed.

ROM wand recolors were just discovered to not be in any loot table, they can only be obtained through buydebug-- this is a long-standing issue that would take maybe an hour, max, to fix, if that. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-ROM-Unable-to-purchase-or-win-wand-recolours/m-p/12463184#M246927

Pet food bowls are treated like dirty dishes and disappear from inventory, but the coding for kava bowls does work, showing the coding for a portable dish that can be used to contain food, and still persists after it is used, already exists in the game.

Then there's the perennial sink problems: sims washing dishes in bathroom sinks, or moving across a lot to use a sink. This can't be fixed just by adjusting the distance between sims and the first discoverable sink! The problem is, there's no difference between bathroom sinks and kitchen sinks. My sims just started ignoring the bathroom sink in the same room they used to empty their bladders and have started walking across the lot to wash hands, so now I've got this issue. Please, I know this one is complicated, but please, code a 'use as kitchen sink' toggle.

Sim-created items from Vampires, Eco Lifestyle, and Jungle Adventure are not owned by the household or sim they are created. This is another simple fix; someone just has to go through all these older items and bring them up to date. There are a lot of backward compatible issues like this, like body hair on servos, servos getting pregnant through getting bad advice or through neighborhood stories, and it would be nice to see them fixed. I think servos and skeletons should be re-done and treated like the game's other occult life forms, with unique quirks and skills.

Forgot to add: Vampire and Werewolf run, and the animations for the invention constructor.

That laundry list just totally ignored console players with broken controls. Reading it feels a bit like a slap in the face with a wet Scorpion Fish. We've just reached the ominous total of 660 complaints on 66 pages and it says Solved so I think we expected to see our solution on the laundry list. But it's not there:

It's been almost 3 months and even struggling disabled players aren't getting any acknowledgement. It's affected my love of the game after over 2 decades of devotion.

Apart from that, the animal ageing bug is causing a lot of upset, but I link it to a general problem with Game Options/toggle on or off not fully registering. My animals age and die with ageing off and my Sims get famous with Fame toggled off. My Sims act autonomously with Autonomy toggled off and are affected by weather with effects turned off.

The restaurant bug and the introduction to infant/toddler bug are fixed. I add the new one Facial bug (a very bad one, I will not play until it will be fixed) and the one where the photos are turning black if put in a box or the new GRO keep/treasure box.

I also did a reset of the Me toos for every entry in the first post.

The Face Bug and the Dental Bug are fixed. I updated the list.

Hi @GiardiniDiMarzo,

This thread has been closed as it encourages discussion of the related issues outside of their respective threads where we would like those conversations to happen.

While I appreciate the intent of the thread we do already have a similar one here that is maintained by EA staff and @crinrict.
