Broken Game and Bugs Years Later
I hope this gets passed on to the developers of The Sims 4. The other day I decided after a three year break from TS4 I would reinstall my game and DLC. Note I raged quit back in 2017, and then tr...

I like DO. My sims's don't own/ operate but I like to take them out to eat. I'd say love DO, but wont because it's broken.
I don't recall it being broken when I bought it years ago. There were game mechanics I didn't like (food took too long, food should be better quality) but it wasn't technically broken. The only positive change I've noticed is that fun doesn't get tanked anymore when in the restaurant.
In DO now, I need a mod to make them sit down to eat. I need to do reset cheats on the chefs. I need to design the restaurants so that they can't talk across tables, so they actually socialize with the sims at their table. I need to make sure the wait stations are perfectly placed. I need to mod the game so that sims can't view any objects so that they don't get up from the table and start staring at a sign on the wall. Or don't have any viewable objects in the restaurant and gain environment with too many rugs. I can't use stereos or wall speakers.
I'm not including new things (new meaning since the early days of the pack) that seem by design that I detest and workaround with cheats. You know, I'm not sure what is by design half the time. For all I know, some of the things I mentioned aren't considered bugs. But I consider them bugs because, to me, they break the pack, since sim can't...um Dine Out due to distractions.
@Cinebar I remember losing saves awhile back because they were somehow gettting overwritten with very old saves that I deleted. I always use Save As so that shouldn't have happened. Those old saves were supposed to be deleted. I had to start over, with 3 different familes. Not sure if you're talking about that or another time. Right now while tweaking base saves I noticed that the incorrect family icons are attached to the save. At least they saves themselves are fine, but that's just...well concerning to me given the past.
A long time ago started my first legacy save in TS4. I think Right after I switched to play the adult children, and update broke my save. I had no CC at the time and the few mods I had were updated. I haven't made a legacy family since.
It's frustrating that a lot of my time goes to putting fixes into my game, much is still broken outside of DO. I didn't do a count, but I'd guess that around 33% or so of my mods are fixes. Mods which I need to check for updates every time the game updates. Sometimes I stop playing for awhile because I spend so much time installing or updating mods that I feel Sims oversatuartion or something I need to play another game.
