Re: Star Wars? Seriously?

@Rae_Regenbogen

Oh, Joy...

Yet ANOTHER completely broken pack totally riddled with bugs.

Yeah, I am totally looking forward to it...

No, I can't even fake pretending to look forward to it. I'm totally not.

Just think about the chaos that will happen when the incoming pre-patch totally obliterates half the existing packs and content.

You think things are bad NOW?

My God, this is going to be horrible. I'm not going to end up playing Sims 4 for another YEAR yet because of everything getting broken and EA NOT PATCHING ANYTHING.

  • I’d put real money on this pack causing Jabba-the-Hutt sized bugs for everyone, but Watto would be very proud of this blatant money grab. I love Star Wars, but this is NOT a Sims crossover I’m even remotely interested in. I’m disappointed, but disappointment is certainly not a new feeling with The Sims 4 so it’s nearly comical. But I guess we’re getting theme parks in the EA gimme-your-dollars-for-more-bugs way? 😂 👎

    Yeah! A Star Wars theme, why not.

    I also hope that the current issues with inventory bugs like the future cubes, clay and antistress potions and -lotions will be addressed in the pre patch update to come.

    But I like to give my fantasy a boost too. Most of the droids I have seen, are derived from the bots I have seen in 'Student Life'. So why not make them ourselves?

    The light sabers I already found in 'Get Famous' so why not use these? And of course the surroundings from that EP (Get Famous) can also be used. I agree with @RandomBuzziness that the destination and the new world could be really fun. Even the gameplay could be a joy.

    Sorry @Rae_Regenbogen, but when the gameplay lets you down, nobody will force you to buy something you do not like. I see myself as a terrier and it will not withhold me to play. There are means to switch off certain EP's so why don't you try that route. By the way, did you buy all the Expansion Packs of The Sims 3? I did and I know a lot of gamers who also bought them all. We literally spent a fortune and a lot of us do not even touch the game anymore.

    I just wonder if we can take our cats and dogs into this realm? And are they allowed to wear helmets? I am also curious how all the Expansion Packs will work together. Will my magicians and aliens feel at home and be able to do the things they usually do? Will the mermaids find a place to live on Outer Rim? As far as I have seen the reveal and the trailer it looks a lot like a holiday world and it seems to have some of the features we see in the Jungle of Selvadorada. All in all i still am curious enough to give it a go.

    Well Hmm this must be an April fools joke. It's been a month now of non sims 4... I will not return to Sims 4 even for this. What no Yoda .... change is on the horizon as a gamer... truly hope it will include the manufacturing and coding back in the USA. Check out his speech last night.

    Right. I play on PS4, but, yes, I DID buy all of the sims 3 packs that I played when I had a good pc (I also bought the PS3 packs for my sister, but I think it was only base and cats and dogs? I can’t remember). Also, I obviously don’t HAVE to buy anything from EA (my whole boycott point), but that doesn’t stop me from being bitter and complaining about a Star Wars pack (when we already have aliens and robots and grimy-looking build items) being released before they fix an unplayable game that I’ve spent over $600 on.

  • Oh dear. I'm not the only one experiencing bugs with this latest expansion. Please read my bugs in the technical PC section. I'm curious if you or anyone else has been experiencing the same thing.

  • @kittell17 I haven’t even been able to play. I played for 15 minutes after the last update, and it crashed when I came out of build mode (even though that bug has been “fixed” at least three times).

    @Rae_Regenbogen Oh wow. I just found out about this new Star Wars addition yesterday, and bought it. I did manage to play it with 2 big bugs and glitches. In it your Sim can encounter Rey and Kylo Ren. They both have unique Sim voices and you can add them in your household by holding shift and selecting them (PC version). The problem that I have is that their voices can't be heard about 98-99% of the time. Other Sims can be heard normally but not them. Then there is a clothing glitch. Their outfits would change sometimes without warning, and items like a gun can be glued to their hand.

    Weird glitches and bugs that do interfere with the overall enjoyment if the game. One thing that would have been cooler is if they had added in the Force and more lightsaber usage. But then that may become an actual Star Wars game...though the hybrid idea has great potential.

  • Unfortunately, I’m not at all surprised that the Star Wars pack is glitchy. All the packs are bugged now.
