I agree. When you end up fighting the bugs more than playing, it's not fun any more.
It's like this... I have two married sims. I'm just trying to get them ready in the morning before work. It should be simple... weed, harvest sell-all, toilet, shower, breakfast.
I send one into the bathroom to do her stuff. I send her spouse outside to garden.
The one outside starts to weed and half the plants turn into dirt piles, losing all the harvestables. Since this was a glitch, and I need the money, should I cheat and just give myself the money? While I'm debating this... I get an LE.
The one inside is stuck getting out of bed. I watch her for a moment and she's stuck mid-animation, legs clipping through the bed. Geez, I'm gonna have to reset her... I wonder if I can get away with just resetting her? Or am I likely going to have to move the entire bed again...
Right then, some random townie comes up and walks STRAIGHT THROUGH THE BUILDING, completely ignoring furniture, walls, to get to the front door before knocking.
Meanwhile, I'm using cheat commands to reset all my plants back to blossoming so they won't take another WEEK before they spawn again, next I have to move to her wife so I can reset her so she won't be late for work... A quick look at the LastException: "Posture" error. Nothing I can do about that. Sims glitch. I still have to deal with the missing money from the harvestables that simply vanished from the glitched gardening... The random townie is content to just walk through all my walls like the building wasn't even there...
How is this supposed to be fun?
Well golly gee, that sounds like loads of fun. The definitive way to play Sims 4!!! I'm going to rush out right now and buy more packs so I can experience this amazing gameplay you describe!!
Sorry, had a mental breakdown there for a moment...
The fact that dirt glitch still exists is quite pathetic, then when you factor in that new one where it seems you have to travel at times for your plants to function properly... and gardening isn't worth it. I got lucky and managed to grow 9 dragon fruit plants for one sim, but after a while I just gave up because I knew at any moment they could revert to dirt or just die because of that other glitch. I also had my plants just not produce anything, so yeah gardening is experiencing some problems... to put it politely lol.
The problem that annoys me most, and has been an issue for quite a while now, is the one where certain parents have to introduce themselves to their toddlers after they age up. If an affected parent goes to age up a toddle, they will be stuck holding them unless you use various methods of getting the toddler free. I shouldn't have to go into build mode and place an object on my sims every time they have a baby age to a toddler. People are blaming it on traits, does that mean we need to avoid giving certain traits or completing certain aspirations?
People can use all the excuses they want for why these problems exist, and why they haven't been fixed, but there are no excuses. People are too forgiving and accepting of glitches in gaming, and if the players don't care then neither will the developers. Too many people are willing to use workarounds or other ways to get around these things instead of wanting them fixed. It's like the game Skyrim. Loads of bugs, many potentially game breaking, and the game has been ported multiple times in that exact state but no one seems to care and they praise it for how great it is...
Oh and by the way, just because these developers can fix their games later doesn't mean they should release them in these broken states. If you truly care about your work and your product, you will want it to be the best it can be on release... not some buggy mess. Yeah I realize I made some typing mistakes... don't worry I'll release a patch later...
