🚨 Important info for those purchasing My Wedding Stories 🚨

As it stands right now according to creators with early access the wedding UI in the new pack completely replaces the old base game method of hosting weddings.

I posted this in Speculation and Rumor because I don’t have early access myself and neither does Henford Hen, but they apparently have either seen videos where this is mentioned or had first hand conversations with EA Creator Network members who do have early access. I know @simgirl1010 has early access and perhaps she could confirm this for us? I just think considering the issues people have had with the pack this should be known if true. I also understand that a rather large patch is supposed to precede the pack hopefully to smooth out many of the glitches and problems people had with the early access software.

I am really hoping that they can and do iron out the kinks in this pack before it’s released Wednesday because for a lot of us $20.00 isn’t nothing I do believe the devs always strive to deliver us a quality product, and I know they have not had an easy time of trying to work from home and collaborate over Zoom calls. But, that being said, this pack has been extraordinarily buggy and we deserve a finished product that’s in full working order. I won’t be home at all Wednesday so I intend to fully research how the pack functions on Thursday before I decide on immediate purchase myself and this information is only intended to help you do the same.

Please Do Not use this thread to start bashing on the devs and calling them names! They are people with feelings who work hard to bring us a game we love and who do in fact read these forums even if they don’t always interact here. It costs you nothing to be kind or at least civil in your discourse.

Sometimes, I just want to have a simple wedding. I don't want to have a complicated wedding for every couple I make.

This is a big oversight by the Sims team. I probably won't be getting this pack at all if I'm forced to use this pack's buggy weddings.

Hopefully they won't be buggy once the game is released. ?

Eh I wouldn't count on it. I don't even understand how it can be this buggy for a livestream. You'd think they plan for these types of things in advance :sweat_smile:

You'd think so but I'm definitely counting on a much smoother experience on release day

What’s sad is given a few days and Carl Sims has fixed it. I’ll be getting his mods if they aren’t fixing a lot of things like people watching the first dance, cake cutting, staying in chairs for wedding itself.

I’d love to hear why they don’t have testing done before releases. And allowing “testing” being done with GC is like having everyone watch people throw eggs on their faces. It’s honestly mind boggling.

I tried doing a regular goaled wedding event today, and it seemed bugged.
There were no goals (I turned off the Holiday before scheduling the wedding). There was no option for Bronze, Silver or Gold. When it ended, I got no score, and I got no rewards at all.

I also tried to do a wedding event with goals today and my experience was similar, no goals listed, no reward offered, just a timer at the top.

I'm still planning to buy the pack. I love the new world and the new cas/bb. Hopefully weddings aren't totally broken.

The base game goaled wedding event is still working fine for me. I was able to do a wedding today and get the rewards. I’m disappointed that the new pack removes the goal option. Does anyone know if the base game wedding rewards unlock some way with the new pack or will we have to use a cheat to unlock them with MWS installed?

I love doing goaled events. If it's true that this will remove the goaled option, I might wait to buy the pack and hope for a mod that will restore the goaled events.

The devs had a break of 7 months to create this pack. I hope they can fix it in 6 days.

This is the reason why I won't buy it on release. I don't trust that the sims team can manage to fix this so fast without creating new bugs.

As for the base game version of the wedding event, I don't want to loose that option unless we can unlock these items in an alternative way in the new pack. I guess I will have to wait until my supersim unlocked the rewards on the traditional way. I think it is a bad design decision to simply remove the base game option. I don't want to use the new wedding all the time.

Thank you for this info. At least we don't loose this possibility. (at least in this temporary version, let's wait for the final version)

I can only imagine how hard testing is with the amount of packs we have at our disposal. If one pack, or a combination of 2 packs or 3 packs etc. cause a glitch or bug, I can only imagine how many tries it would take to find out where the bug lies. This is probably why they haven’t been able to fix the plant reverting to dirt bug yet. But I hope they have been working on that one and will be able to fix it soon.
