Do you still have hope?

There are some bugs that I think can and will be fixed, even if it takes longer than some are willing to wait. But I think the mechanics of the game itself are just fine as is - that's just me personally, I know a lot of people think the game is awful and tbh I am not sure why they still play in that case. I love this game!

Of course, I'd love for there to be more in-depth personalities, zodiac compatibility, and a wider variety of emotions... but the lack of those things never weigh on my mind while I play. The only thing I ever got frustrated over not having in my game was the pool tool. But they added that, and I've lived on and played happily ever since. I love the addition of new free content, and paid content as well (though I wish it wasn't so expensive).

Overall, I don't think the game needs "fixing."

:) I should wait three more years for the detective career to be fixed? It's been broken in my game since 2017. In other people's games it's been broken even longer. But I didn't see the bug until 2017 (never played with mods or cc). There are bugs now in the Vampire pack been there since CL, and now new ones if someone owns GF (game breaking bugs concerning vamps). But I digress. As I said they aren't going to go back and enhance the Sim nor their silly emotions and traits.

They've stated that there is no planned end date so I don't see how it can be too late for anything. There is time to fix all of the issues in the game, the only question is will they? Only time will tell, but I hope so.

?? I've never run into a detective career bug, and I've had the EP since it was released, so I can't speak to how long you'll have to wait.

I HAVE experienced the vampire bug where cured Sims will still experience nausea when they eat human food, but luckily, I am not much of an occult player so I can avoid the issue until it is fixed. I understand that this is a major issue for other players, but I obviously can't speak on when it will get fixed.

I simply elaborated on my vote, my sympathies that you don't feel similarly.

though I wish they would.

I'm not usually a pessimist. But I'm starting to lean that way in regards to this game. I still have hope, but its fading fast.

Seems like they are busy pushing new content rather than reworking old feature. But we do received gardening overhaul a year ago.

For various reasons I lost my entire hope in The Sims 4 and Im afraid that I also losted hope for the future of the franchise. And believe me... I feel sad to write this!

To make this clear, I really like the sims 4 at the end of the day no matter what. I play it almost everyday, and have invested hundreds of dollars and thousands of hours in my ts4 sims. I do however feel as if the personalities are greatly lacking. If you don’t have a vivid imagination, it will be very hard for you to play ts4 and enjoy it as much as somebody like me does. But that’s just my opinion. I’ve found ways around it.

I think it's never too late or too difficult. That was the attitude people had toward toddlers and pets, before they arrived. And I have to keep hopeful for my peace of mind.
But we've been asking for this from the start, and still no changes have been made, and still new packs are coming out sacrificing substance for moodlets. That scares me.
The personalities and reactions of the sims are, to me, the core of any sims game. Without an update like this, I would never feel satisfied with Sims 4. So I can only hope they're either working on it, or start doing so.

Even though it really needs an overhaul, I think we're too far in the game at this point.
