Get Famous - CELEBRITY WALK

I know it's probably been said before but..... THE CELEBRITY WALK IS SO ANNOYING. My toddler is literally walking faster than my young adult human sim. And I keep turning it off but it keeps turning back on. I know there's mods for it but I shouldn't have to download a mod for my game to work ughhhhh.

Does anyone know when the next patch is coming out??? Also can someone link the mod.
  • Yes, it has been said before. Multiple times:

    and the mod is linked in this one:

    If I had to guess, the patch would either be out today or next Tuesday. Get Famous has not even been out for a month yet, it's really too early for the "I shouldn't have to fix this with mods" rhetoric. That's not even allowing them a chance to fix it.

    Is there even any confirmation this issue is resolved in the next patch? To be completely honest this seems like something that should have been caught prior to release, the rhetoric that one shouldn’t have to mod their game for it to function correctly is applicable regardless of when the pack released. If something is broken it’s broken, allowing them a chance to fix it doesn’t stop the issue from happening.

    No, nor did I say there was.

    But they didn't catch it, and now we are waiting for it to be fixed. No one is expecting anyone to mod their game to fix a bug that has existed for all of 3 weeks, but at the same time they aren't going to release an update every time they fix a bug.
  • Yeah, I didn't like it either. I got the mod for it. It's really easy to install.

    Correct and that’s how they choose to operate. The time between when the issue was first noticed and when the issue is fixed will be filled with people complaining about said issue, that’s expected and isn’t a rhetoric that Maxis should be unfamiliar with at this point. When mistakes are made that directly affect the customer’s enjoyment of the product they purchased you are going to hear complaints until it’s fixed. I personally don’t care how long the pack has been out, something so obvious should have been noticed - but that’s really no different from any other pack they have released and really not where I’m trying to go with this. They’ll get their chance to fix it when they release a fix, until then people are free to complain about issues. I reiterate, just because the developers have acknowledged the issue doesn’t mean it stops being an issue in the meantime. A player saying “I shouldn’t have to mod my game for this to work correctly” is in the right 100% of the time, because the reality is that they shouldn’t have to mod their game for it to function as it was advertised.
  • I'm glad there's going to be a fix soon, hopefully it fixes this issue because I'm having it as well. I'd rather not have to download a mod for it because I don't really like to install mods unless it changes an aspect of the game, not fixes it.

    It wasn't really about people complaining (not that that does anything either), it's about people expecting an issue to be fixed before allowing even 1 patch to happen after its introduction. It's an impossible expectation since fixes only come out in patches. Whether or not the bug should have existed in the first place is a different concern.
  • I am closing this because, as pointed out, we've had a few threads already on this, as noted by @Cupid. I'm locking this considering this and would point folks to those threads (Some which have been closed but contain relevant information). :smile:
