Eco Living is straight up unplayable

Again, it's the same with every pack: someone complains about the bugs and many people say that it's not fair.

Please, let the people express themselves. If you don't have any problem with the game it's great, I'm glad, but please have in mind that some of us think that paying 40€ for a game which had this issue in the first version only available to bloggers and it is not been fixed in the final version is not right.

For me the game is almost unplayable because:
- Some times my sim don't eat when commanded "get leftovers". He just take the dish and sits watching it.
- The Eco footprint resets back to "neutral" in one day no matter what I do. Even when all lots in the world are "green"
- Basil bush is shown as a seed, not a bush.
- Some objects disappear sometimes in my lot.
- Sometimes the growth state of plants changes randomly.
- The balcony in the apartment is not part of the house and cannot be editted.
- The eco footprint resets automatically when my sim leaves the neighbourhood/world.
- Sometimes solar panels cannot be placed on roofs.
- Sometimes sims cannot use the sell table in the market. You have to carry your own table in order to sell your produce.
- There is a buzz noise that won't go away when the maker station breaks. The buzz won't go even after deleting the whole lot.

I could go on and on with bugs I found in my game. I removed my mods, I created a new fresh sims folder, deleted temporary files, repaired the game, restarted the game and the PC but this bugs are still there.

We paid 40€ for a game that IS unplayable for some of us, so please, let us complain.

All those bugs are annoying and you have a right to complain but the game in general for most people is playable...it's not like the game is constantly freezing or crashing

Post your problems over at Answers HQ - they will get proper attention there. General chat can't help.

That's a tad dramatic lol. It's just a window bug, sure it's annoying but hopefully it'll get patched at some point

Yikes. Alright.

1. The ‘literally unplayable’ is a meme or remark from years ago. I assumed that everyone would understand that it was an exaggeration and that I was hardly serious in the sense that it was a game-breaking issue. I was merely pointing out that everyone – every well-known – creator that got Early Access pointed this out. This was not an issue that slipped through the cracks and appeared last minute.

2. For some, issues like this may be major, especially those with OCD.

3. For a $40 product, they sure did miss the QA testing phase as this issue has been in every single posted content that displayed the items.

4. I know where and how to submit bug reports. I was merely poking fun and trying to have a laugh. You guys are acting like I asked to WooHoo at 5 relationship.

Every single person with Early Access pointed this out and it's still not fixed. I cannot build using these windows. :/

I think you need to explain what you trying to say as it is hard to see the problem, not trying to say the problem is not valid. If this is an problem it is not something new as there are multiple problems in Sims 4.

It's definitely still playable. I played it just last night. I have no idea what I'm doing though, I'm completely clueless about eco footprints. :D

This Eco pack I love it and hate it. I hate it mainly because of the many not soo buggy things. Sunpanels? Have fun when a storm breaks them all down. Storms seem to have a 90% hitrate on anything standing on or around you house. Its a garbage feature. So are the bug hotels. Thank you for having my sim spend 8 hours a day to tend 2 bug farms because they need so many hugs. Please remove that silly hamster hugging feature.

As Carl pointed out in his video bugs don't need hugs. They can't be hugged anyway, so this is a doubly useless feature. Another one is getting water from the ocean. Doesn't EA realize that seawater is unsuitable for human use until it has been desalinated? At a minimum it makes you sick, at worst it will kill you.

Draw attention to this glitch, but it's silly to say it makes the game 'unplayable'. There are other difficulties in the game that require a hotfix.

*checks it*

Yeah, I am definitely surprised they missed that, it's clearly missing a texture or something when you rotate around it and should be fixed pronto. But by no means does it stop anybody from playing the game.

I have no problem with the ep everything works just fine and 100%
