Fed Up With Issues

I am about to give up on this game/franchise completely. The Sims 4's shallowness has always been a problem for me, but the mounting bugs and technical issues are really starting to annoy me. There are too many other games out there for me to keep beating my head over this brick wall. This is the only game where I check every day for a new patch, in some slim hope that at least a couple of the biggest bugs have been addressed. On those rare days there actually is a patch, it's just disappointing. Factor in the outright admission that there will never be fixes for some bugs (while not even spelling out which bugs will be ignored), and it's clear that my time could be better spent elsewhere.
The developers of this game have such weird priorities it seems. One example that comes to mind is the amount of time spent on a pointless (and frankly, kind of ugly) ceiling fan that does absolutely nothing. It can't be turned on or off, has no light, and doesn't even affect the interior temperature if the disaster known as 'Seasons' is installed. Another priority they seem to have is maintaining some kind of hype and mystery around this game, but not making the game's quality or depth speak for itself. An example of this is saying there are four new sliding doors, when really there are only two, just in two different heights. That is completely lame.
I do appreciate any time new content is included in a patch, but the implication is always that the developers are doing us some big favor. Many, many people have quite a bit of money invested in this newest version, not to mention the entire franchise. I would argue it is players who are doing them a favor by ensuring they continue to have a job.
I don't like saying these things, but at some point I have to just realize that this game was broken from the start.
