I hope this post isn't reported, because it will sound like censorship.
A few weeks ago, I have started a petition asking EA to be more transparent about The Sims 4 bugs and glitches. It surpassed 9,600 signatures for now. I hope EA considers doing something.
Here's the link: https://www.change.org/p/ea-give-your-fans-transparency
Not much update related to any old bug fixes ...
Just saw another EA game got big discount and there is an announcement coming in October.
Hope EA is not selling itself to a company, who loves to turn all game model to a mobile game charging model like selling crown or monthly pass, it will simply kill all game series...
With respect, I'm not personally finding the Twitter side bar here any more informative. I'm not on Twitter and have no intention of joining. I feel like those discussions belong here. I don't see anything telling me when I'll be able to load my game without crashing or when graphics will finally be optimised for next gen consoles.
On here, some threads are just going on for years and we are still posting for help but engagement has stopped it seems. I'm feeling like it's gone backwards in terms of transparency and engagement. As an example, threads on crashing and console technical threads. We've got players using the word unplayable but we're not getting help.
So we need this transparency more than ever.
I also wonder, are discussions about Sims 5 going on with players on Twitter? Because I'm seeing some pretty left field ideas in the media about the future direction of the franchise and I don't see the players voices in those ideas. But of course, it's the creator's product and it's their prerogative to do with it as they see fit.
That new twitter account for more effective communication hasnt tweeted anything in nine days. The original sims 4 account reduced tweets since then too.
This isnt better communication.
I think most people would not buy the Sims 5 if they abandon the Sims 4 without fixing all outstanding bugs that last for years.
There are other game companies killed their reputation by releasing buggy game. Those that still survive are the one who keep fixing their bugs. Others are gone and no more future series.

After the big announcement of The Sims it seems that the community no longer cares about what is happening with the sims 4. They only talk about the sims 5 and are waiting for this big announcement. They are no longer asking EA to fix this damn game, they want to go to sims 5, they are saying that sims 4 is old and not worth it anymore. This is not right, if EA doesn't fix The Sims 4 bugs I won't buy sims 5, I'm tired of spending money on sims 4 and not even being able to play properly because the damn game is always broken. I went back to sims 2 and sims 3 and if it continues like this I will continue with them.
There are no plans to stop support for The Sims 4 anytime soon. We're committed to releasing bug fixes, packs, kits and SDX items for the foreseeable future.
