A patch, a patch, a patch........I hope....

After the new update: I can confirm it crashes when you try to pay the bill at the restaurant, when going on a date. It happened twice when I clicked on "pay bill and end date". Luckily I saved my game before it happened the second time. I play on the PS4. Hope they fix this as soon as possible. :(

This sounds like a variation on the computer use bug that many have been reporting. Something is wrong with the code for that part of the game.

First time playing since the update and my game crashed 15 minutes in. Then again 10 minutes in after that.

I saw somewhere on the web that one of the SimGurus said they are looking into all of the crashes since the November 10th patch.

This really makes it look like the PC gamers get more attention then the console gamers.

This is so unfortunate.

I don’t want to sound pessimistic, but I feel like on the basis of how easy it is for PC/Mac players to provide save files, they might solve it for PC players first. They’re getting the EP at midnight in their respective regions, so it’s probably imperative that the patch is fixed prior to the release of the Snowy Escape, if that makes sense.

It might be a case of console players getting the fix prior to 10amPST tomorrow, or potentially seeing a postponed release, and a lot of apologies.

It’s still early in the day, so I could very well be wrong— and I’d like to be considering how I’m dying to play my current save file. But the lack of communication is rather frustrating. I do empathize with what the QA team is going through, and it’s times like this where I miss SimGuruLegacy. They were such a rockstar when it came to speaking to the console community during past console releases and patches.

Naturally people have so many repair suggesting for simmers on computers but on console we are sitting ducks....I hate that.

From what I’m gathering, some of the fixes are not ideal and don’t work. I forget that quote from Skyrim, but it goes something like, “we’re all brothers in binds, ah, horse thief?”

At least most of us are stuck in this together, and it’s definitely killing any pre-pack jitters I have.

I absolutely agree with this statement. I think that console is getting their with being equal to our PC brethren, but there are little things that urk me. It appears as though we don’t have a designated (not dedicated) Guru for consoles, and I don’t think we have Game Changers for console either. There are little quirks that the game has on console that it’s had for years that are difficult to replicate and be fixed any time soon— i.e. the cursor movement speed spikes.

The new patch doesn't work well with city living. Platforms don't work I can place like a normal lot and I cant place any flooring on them. It made my system crash as well.

I really hope they come out with a patch soon! within the first ten minutes, my game crashes and it's becoming even more frequent

Consoles have a separate team I believe. One team for consoles and the other for PC. I’m sure that may be why it seems they get more attention. I dunno, someone correct me if I’m wrong. I hope that the issue gets fixed because I preordered the new expansion pack and want the game to work decent without crashing. There was no more crashing until this patch.
