Don't get me wrong I am glad we are getting fixes, I have heard that in the past year there has been an uptick on fixes (and that is great), and the current road map even more. I just wasn't a fan of video, but no hate or anything, just a : / moment, slightly questioning the level of sincerity. Can't a girl be cautiously optimistic and slightly skeptical till we actually get the final results/fixes?
Otherwise, as I mentioned before, there should also be attention to other bugs, even those not extremely upvoted if confirmed bugs, as I don't think waiting till enough people notice is a good/the best policy. But clearly take care of most upvoted/higher priority fixes first.
I mean I found an obvious bug, with a fairly obvious fix, but I am the only one who noticed it/reported it, and they won't even investigate until there is more reports (aka awaiting more reports)... as modder I can fix it myself, and why I was able to confirm the bug in the internal files in the first place, but this just didn't sit well with me (and what I have to wait years till others notice, or never get a fix?). And this just has me concerned during this time they are prioritizing bug fixes.
I think it's great that modder's can create mod's that "fix" the game, it just means the developers don't have too!. I say that cause I have seen posts where modders have given the solution but the solutions were ignored - as far as I know, cause the bugs they refer to, still exists.
But for people who don't use mod's or cc for various reasons, we get to deal with issues and our bug reports are scrutinized as though we do use mods and cc, as has been my personal experience. I went through the list they provided... line by line. Read the sources they provided to show exactly which 'bugs' they were fixing. All in all, out of all those bugs - only 3 of them do I actually have! So in my mind, with my 100% virgin game, 3 fixes out of all the one's I have... I can only hope that if they fix all the ones they claim they are fixing, that those actually fix some of the issues I do have via "cause and effect" that play a major role in the end result. So as for me... I shall see. 🤞
I think there is like only 3 that really effect my game (or that I currently notice) too. I am even holding out on For Rent, till I hear people say it is "fixed", I mean I could buy now on sale, but I rather confirmation then wait till next sale :P
I have 'For Rent" but I got it only for BB and CAS. I disabled all in game settings that had to do with For Rent and so I have not "seen" any bugs related to that pack. I haven't noticed any that is. I really only wanted the infant/toddler/kids items from it. 😁
Yes, it is a bit sad that only 'popular' bugs seem to get any attention. I am waiting to be able to play a sim couple as vets, but the vet career is so buggy and yet it never gets fixed because there is no attention on it.
I realise that they only have a finite amount of resources but it seems that some bugs are just sat around for years and years...
Is there an active bug-report on the vet career? I would happily vote on it, but as a modded player I can't make bug-reports myself as I am far too lazy to remove all my mods just to make a report.
There are quite a few different ones, depending on the bug experienced. This is the one I started a few months ago:
