Hi everyone and thank you all for keeping up with this an any other thread on this issues.
To report that as of yesterday plants are still bugged.
I have also filled a survey that I found in my travels around forums and EA site and ... lets say they did not get a good report, to put it mildly.
In the meantime, I am playing my faithful Sims 3. Just going to sims 4 to check if things have been sorted, if they don't within a period of time, I will probably uninstall the game and carry on as for the last eleven years, with my sims 3, because with all its problems, one thing is that there are no more patches to break it anymore and I don't have to worry about updating mods either! Bliss!!!
Shame really, I only started playing sims 4 around February and by July I have had more than enough. I would probably persevere with it if I liked it a bit more, but I don't, it's a pretty lame game.
This following bit is addressed to the developers and gurus so they can pass the message to EA just in case I have not said it before about a million times.
I own every EP, SP, World, and the whole of the store from the sims 3, I even gave some 1700 points out as gifting items to others because I had nothing else to buy. I got Everything for the sims 3, I even bought Katy Perry and Movie Stuff even though I never installed those packs, they are there in the pristine boxes they came in.
In comparison with the sims 4 I have probably a quarter of what is out, check it out for yourselves, and I am thinking of uninstalling the game, and install Medieval again, I did have loads more fun with that than with The sims 4. I am also looking to purchase the sims 2, It's difficult but achievable.
So EA, think about it, before you put the last nail in the Sims Franchise coffin, because I am by no means the only one, I am pretty "average" and as a company you should look into what "average" buys, it takes years, but eventually people pay their mortgages off, and become a bit better off, so they can afford to splurge in other things, you should try to keep those customers. They are valuable, believe me.
