Re: [BY DESIGN] [ECO] Can't place objects on balcony in apartment

What about the bulldozing problem, and the fact that the apartment has no floor when looking from a low angle?

We are looking into a fix for that. 🙂

Thank you! ❤️

Does it means we’ll never be able to build it ?

It kinda sounds that way. But there is always the tool mod 😂

Damn this really sucks 😢 I feel like I would prefer a balcony with glitchy wall paint and random guests than a completely unusable space. The apartments were a big selling point for me and a lot of other simmers here. It just doesn’t make sense to have access to something unusable. Kind of breaks my heart a little, but thanks @SimGuruFrost for giving us an explanation. 👍❤️

With that being the case, you all should have let people know this in advance. You showed that balcony in your stream and game-changers built on it, so releasing the game with them non-buildable after the fact without disclosing this issue is false-advertisement. It shouldn't have been something you wrote as the 51st comment in a bug thread days after release.

1. Thank you

The Pinecrest Apartments should have had the balconies removed once it was discovered that the programmers lacked the expertise to make them fully functional after the Eco Living upgrade - in game. There should have been a press notice or EA announcement that these apartments would not have the balconies due to EA's failure to make them a viable part of the apartment building. We are way past the point where EA sends out a new EP with non-functional gameplay aspects.

Do the right thing, admit your flaws and weaknesses to the loyal customer base who have put up with these kind of incomplete game play additions for the last 20 years now. By releasing the Pinecrest Apartments with this restriction, EA  has just pissed off and disappointed millions of Sims players. Be Best, Be Smart and Do The Right Thing for your customers in the future. 

WHAT ABOUT THE ROBOTIC ARM? WHEN WILL THAT BE FIXED?

This is probably the ONLY thing I was excited about in this pack. I just wasted money. You should have announced that this was being removed BEFORE launch. 

Also, might I point out you said you tried different fixes...well can’t you just...idk...try more? The decision has made a lot of the Sims community upset and disappointed. Even the aspirations in this pack take about 1-3 hours to complete max. 

Once again EA drops the ball. This is ludicrous anymore. You guys have knowingly pushed out shoddy work for 2 decades now, across multiple games. Just more half finished products that you rush out in order to make a buck. Meanwhile, your loyal customer base are are STILL basically your free beta testers, which is part of your job, not ours. Enough already!

The balcony is BAD enough, what made it worse is that you people KNEW this didn't work correctly before release, and you CHOSE to put it out anyway, WITHOUT mentioning this to the people who had already purchased this new bugfest of yours!

Unacceptable.

Just more of the tried and true, bait and switch tactics by good, old, EA. 

Not to mention the fact that the major feature of this release, the eco footprint isn't even working, pets are disappearing at random, everyone is playing with clay nonstop and leaving it everywhere, cooked meals are disappearing, Sims are getting stuck in animations or just randomly resetting themselves, the list of bugs this semi-complete release goes on and on.

Being outright dishonest with your base is the very reason your company has a rubbish reputation. 

Yes

he cant he already said that...it would cause more glitches and make more people complain

Very sad indeed. 

it seriously  does look stupid to even have them but as usual you need mods EA makes a sloppy base modders do the rest they  made the console versions just get left with a mess most the time. seriously it has been almost a month near no updates to bugs modders fixed first week lol..

if we cant build there how can we make the houses green? they are the only not green lot in my neighborhood

What’s the point in even having it if you can’t utilize the space?
