Bagged Lunch Bug still in game?
So for those of you unfamiliar with this bug, if your sim has a bagged lunch in their inventory and then go to work they will leave work well before the end of their shift. This is a well known bug t...

Give the developers a chance? How long has this game been out? Let's just give a sample of some of the bugs that have been in the game for over a year now.
1) Action Queue's randomly resetting and canceling Queue'd actions (been around since launch)
2) Queuing an action only to have your sim go unresponsive for multiple sim hours before finally getting around to what you asked them to do. (been around since launch)
3) While moving a sim the sim will randomly disappear then reappear in their starting location, with their action queue reset because.... of course it resets.
4) Tree limbs clipping through walls (this ones been in the game since launch as well)
5) The game slows down to a crawl every time a sims emotion state changes, in a house with dozens of rooms each with different decorations and multiple sims moving around said house, this happens over and over and over... you get the idea.
6) Not a bug but just god awful design to have the game speed revert to the lowest setting every time one of your sims in the household gets a call or text. In a house with 8 Sims this makes the game extremely difficult to play on anything other then the lowest speed setting. In the time it took me to write a single book, I had to speed the game up (not exaggerating) 12 times. I know I could silence the phone, but I shouldn't have to, and you'd think this would have been noticed in testing, unless of course they aren't testing their patches before release. I would have found that difficult to believe not that long ago, but I honestly think it's the case now.
So that's 5 bugs off the top of my head that have been in the game for 1+ years, and a design choice that REALLY points to the fact that Maxis is simply not trying to play test the patches before release. Give the developers a chance? I'd say they've had numerous chances. You asked if I worked, and yes I do, and I can say with absolute certainty that if my work performance was proportional to Maxis I would have been fired a very long time ago. To add insult to injury, instead of fixing the bugs they turn around and charge you $40 bucks for an expansion pack to a broken game. The game is getting more annoying then fun to play, so no ... I think I'm done giving the developers a chance, I'd say it's time to demand they take action to fix their game, and I think that demand is more then justified.
I can already see you blaming the game performance on my rig, or possibly mods. Let me put that to rest right now, my rig should be blowing the doors off this game, I'm well above system requirements, I don't use mods, and I've tested all the bugs above on a fresh install with a new game and I can confirm the issue is not with any of my saves, it's the game.
Is it possible that you are just a masochist and you enjoy dealing with all the bugs?
