Any warnings? Haven't played in months...
There just hasn't been any new content that has interested me in several months (basically since Werewolves), so I've fallen out of the habit of playing, but I'm feeling nostalgic today, so thought I ...
Forum Discussion
@Amapola76 This was basically the question I was going to ask today in my own thread, but I found yours first. So I hope it's okay for me to pop in here, too, with some follow-up questions. @s_stutler It sounds like you are confirming some of the most serious bugs I've read about are persisting. As to the "mean bug" I thought that the problem was supposed to be fixed through the SDX this week. Have you downloaded the SDX already & found that it didn't fix the issue, or have you not downloaded the SDX yet?
I also took a few months off of playing The Sims 4 while going through a move. I've been playing catch-up on the current state of the game, reading the official Sims 4 Forum as well as Reddit. I was one of the lucky few who did not update right away when that disastrous HSY patch came out. In fact, I'm on the a patch before the pre-Werewolves patch was released, and I'm not sure if I should update yet, or wait...
Based on EA patch notes & forum posts I've read, and based on what you just shared here, it appears: 1) The terrible aging bug has been fixed for some players, but not others 2) Aging up with a birthday cake is fixed for children - adults, but not toddlers, for some reason 3) Expansion pack toggles for Get Famous & Cottage Living, etc. are now broken 4) You still cannot turn Wants & Fears off, and even if your Sim is doing well in their career, they constantly get sad moodlets for a "dead end job" and other things that don't make sense 5) I'm unsure if the so-called "Groundhog Day" bug is fixed.
I became a mod user out of necessity, to fix all the problems that never get fixed. I've been playing The Sims franchise since the beginning, in 2000. In all 3 previous games, I've used some CC, but never had to use so many mods to fix issues until now. I was in the process of building a custom save file, so I only have a few mods in right now needed for setup & some limited CC. I was hoping that in the few months I stepped away, things would be fixed, but it seems it is just as bad as it was then, if not worse.
If anyone reading this is patched to the most current patch / SDX, could you please tell me how your game is working, and does it have any of the problems listed above, or any other big problems? And could you play in an existing save, or did you have to start a new one? I wanted Werewolves, but am not interested in HSY, but it seems to be applying the pre-HSY patch, even without purchasing the expansion pack, will cause mass chaos, like all my sims being obsessed with their phones.
Any feedback you have on the current state of the game would be very much appreciated! Thank you!
And if I need to start my own thread, just let me know. I rechecked the rules for posting & it said to search first for your question, so that's why I came here first to post.
Thanks!
