Ok, so something happened in this thread, that I'm not allowed to talk about. Awesome. So yeah, basically what I was saying is that the quality of EAs games lately are very bad, and they don't seem to care. Am I allowed to say that?
As long as they’ve made their money they really don’t care 💀 wish i could get a refund on this 💩
@EvilVampyre Oh, you can rant about this game, self here, you just need to rant politically and don’t attack any persons. I would not say they don’t care ... I rather think they just don’t have enough resource and time before they need to release something new and here has the team nothing to say.
Yeah, I am not happy on the state now and how much are broken but I must say I tested HSY and this pack don’t gave me any *hard* issues (I add here I toggle the NPC thing off and don’t use social bunny) The school worked nice for me and sims behaved normal there // I had no simulation lag or generally fps drops. All my annoying bugs came rather from the base update as from the new DLC.
I don’t want a refund for HSY. I think this is a lovely DLC and I like almost all in there. I think the team need just to fix the base/cross DLC feature + the phone thing. I really miss that my sims can run, so I abuse heavy the teleport cheat if the way is to long.
@daikoyu Have you seen this thread ? This lists every bug they are aware of, there are hundreds! Going back as far as base game. They haven't bothered to look into most of them, the only bugs they seem to fix are ones that make the game unplayable, or give them bad reputation (the incest thing), everything else gets forgotten about. They have plenty of time to fix these bugs, they just spend their time making new expansions instead. They get paid for expansions, they don't get paid for patches. I'm not saying HSY is bad, I am really enjoying it, its just that the amount of bugs I encounter when I play the game, really gets on my nerves! I would say which bugs are affecting me the most, but I'm not allowed to mention more than one bug at a time it seems.
I think the main issue is that the testers only have access to the base game and the expansion they are testing. Sure, everything seems to work fine when they release it, but as soon as you mix it up with all the other expansions, everything breaks.
Like the OP said, we were promised a lot of work on the game over the week, it is now Tuesday, and there has been no news or patches since the last one. Again, they seem to have given up on the bugs, they're probably already working on the next expansion.
I know this thread, but I must say I only encounter under 45% of this bug. I have all DLC and play oftens vanilla, so I am just lucky or some of this bug get hidden fixed or only there with a special DLC + Combo, and here is the problem… Not ever bug which here is listed encountered each player.
So, if you are a programmer, you fix the bugs which make the game unplayable or fix the bug which T-Pose? I bet you choice not the T-Pose bug, because its annoying for the end user but it doesn’t break the game. It’s the same with the chefs stand out. Just reset the chefs and you can enjoy your meal.
Bug fixing is not simple and every person with a little experience in coding know this *fix 1 Bug and get maybe 2-4 more* So normally you don’t touch bugs which are not game breaking, and which have work-a-rounds. Eventually you fix these things but there have not a priority. I wish bug fixing was simple but most the time is it not, you have so much variable which you need to consider, specially if you make a bug fix official. A modder can fix a bug with glue and tape, official ways is sadly not so simple.
We all agree we want bug fixing but EA want money, and they get only money if they release something new. It was something others if we could only play sims via subscription model, but I rather don’t have this alternative because I would not pay every month to play sims 4, self if I would get more bug fixing. I rather use mod to fix these things as have a subscription model.
I understand your stance, but I think this discussion have no end and, in the end, just frustrate all parties. So, i am out here, I am sorry.
