Do you still have hope?

Yes, lots of hope. It is never too late and a lot of things already have been fixed (assume bugs as just because you don't get what you want doesn't mean it is broken. There are some bugs at times that do need to be fixed. Some are fixed only to break again with a new patch), added or improved on and they are aware that people wanted better babies, cars, etc...and they didn't say no to that plus got a few more years to go, so that could be room for more. Not everything is going to be fixed instantly/overnight.

Sims 3 is in more dire need of fixing; but lost all hope long ago since they ended updates. So still bugs, lagging, stiff and boring sims, etc...
