Collection of Questions for the Q&A Team

I understand many of us can't attend the Discord chats with the Q&A team because we have other obligations. There are also members in here who can attend the chats but who don't have questions. I want to create this thread as a list of questions so those who attend the chats can ask questions to the Q&A team.

I'll start with my own 10 questions:

1. Does writing bug reports with AI discourage the team from looking into the reports?
2. I enjoy seeing all of the bug fixes. There are a few kits and packs I want to buy but I'm hesitant because of the lack of categorization in BB and CAS. It's so hard for me to find objects and many aren't sorted by their style tags or miscategorized. I don't use many of the objects in the game because of this. Is updating BB and CAS to make it easier for players to find the something that could possibly be a QoL update?
3. What does "Awaiting Additional Reports" actually mean? I've seen reports with 10 votes get fixed while reports with over 100 reports have this status. The definition of the status is unclear.
4. Why do bugs that are mispriced objects, spelling/grammar errors, and miscategorized objects take so long to get fixed? It seems these should be easy fixes.
5. A QoL fix I would love is neighborhood stories. I think Sims have too many babies, adopt too many pets/children, and don't experience relationship changes in their relationship panel. Right now, the neighborhoods don't feel real. Also, Sims who divorce still live together. Is this something that you can look into in the future?
6.  Will we ever get more formal wear pants for boys? There is only one pair in the game. If Island Living is installed, there is a 75% chance the boy will wear a grass skirt. The look is jarring when paired with most formal shirts in the game.
7. Will bugs that are 5+ years old such as [GTW] Scientist: Plants at science lab don't produce harvestables | EA Forums - 5038711 get fixed? This bug was first reported in the old forum.
8. Will posting where the bug is in the game files help with the investigation of the bug? I've seen people post the issue in the game files and their posts get ignored.
9. Another QoL I would like is more icons for social interactions based on what packs they come from. Having the icons helps me find the social interactions I want better. I also want more social interactions to be categorized. Also, some socials seem miscategorized for example, "impersonate mermaids" seems like it would belong in comedy rather than mischief.
10. I think the most gameplay ruining bugs for me are those where you have to complete a task to get a reward and there is no way to complete the task. This includes aspirations, social event tasks, work tasks, or holidays from seasons. For example, [ECO] 'Convince to Support NAP' social interaction missing | EA Forums - 13662939 prevented me from completing the aspiration with my Sim. Also, I can't find the social action to have a Sim give a toast at a party anymore. Lastly, holidays weren't updated for the new traits so sometimes Sims will have to complete holiday actions that go against their traits.
