ECO Living is Complete Garbage

Well the game just came out and we had two patches last one to address the save crashes. Haven't experienced any freezing or lagging (feels like my game loads even faster than usual). Only bug im experiencing thus far is furniture poofing.

I'm sure they're compiling any bugs that have arose so they can work on them. :)

Best to report any bugs and troubles you're having at the HQ bug thread and shoot them a save file. Just takes some time. I expect them to make another patch again sometime this month.

And to be on topic, yeah the pack isn't worth the hype.

Well thought I didn't realize the sharing is caring may be active, but nope. Moved a piece of furniture maybe some odd sim hours and had noticed later that it was mysteriously M.I.A. it was perfectly fine where it was and it just kinda peaced out of existence while I wasn't looking???

Maybe im crazy but not sure if it happened to anyone else. I'll have to check again to make sure when i get home.

Performance wise things have been good if not better than ever really. Even with 9GB of CC the game boots up within 25 seconds and loading screens are no more than 10 for me when my sim travels with no lagging and curiously have not been experiencing simulation lag like I use to a long time ago.

I feel your frustration. Haven't played the game like normal without crashes since the April patch. This new patch brought freezing, yay!

The title seems a bit misleading I think you mean your game has some technical issues. Which I am sure they will work on fixing if you report it. Maybe try repairing your game also if you didn't already.

So far everything has been smooth sailing with this pack. No lag or freezing or crashes at my end.

Lagging and freezing might be on your end because my game is running quite stable. I am pretty sure this pack upgraded the graphics. Have you lowered them in the settings to see if that helps your issues?

I haven't had any lagging or crashing issues at all.

Do you use CC? perhaps that may be causing part of the problem. I have encountered a few weird bugs (mainly my pets wandering off somewhere unretrievable unless I travel to a different lot with them.

Removed all CC, Repaired the game 3 times, went to HQ and got a response from a fellow gamer that wasnt useful. My pc is fine, I play several other games with it. Ever since I got ECO Sims has been garbage. No response from EA at all.

My game has become totally unplayable since downloading this total garbage of an expac. Weird lag and constant freezing. Why isnt' EA addressing the bugs and issues? I cant play the game I paid for.

You need to go to Answers HQ and post your problems there. Have you gone through Origin's latest updates and got the two updates for the game? I assume you have the latest OS updates and video drivers. Probably those are important as it's for consoles like X box too.

I've had a couple of technical things I managed to sort out myself but otherwise it's running ok. I have no added mod content at all though and a gaming computer.

Sims with recycler trait will steal their own stuff if they haven't recycled anything in a while. It will not go in their household inventory.

Maybe these 2 mods could help. They keep my game very smooth. I haven't had any problems at all. Hope it's ok to link there here. Sorry if it's not. And I hope you can enjoy your game soon.
