Getting back into the Sims

Should you decide at some point you want to return to using mods, do make certain the mods have all been updated to accommodate the new packs. I have the latest two packs, Lovestruck and Life & Death. Haven't played too deeply with either of them, so far. But I am also knee-deep in a particular storyline, of which I write and share. Lovestruck, so far, is fun. I do play on a new gaming laptop, however. I'm not noticing some of the problems (bugs) others report.

Go ahead and jump back in. We'll put a ladder on the poolside so you can climb back out if you find the game is still too buggy for you.  I can imagine the frustration. I had an interesting, weird thing occur, recently, that was a leftover from Cottage Living. (Got that one on release, so how the bug missed me then, I'll never know.) There was a fix for it, and things have been great ever since. You may find playing vanilla suits your style of play better, who knows?  The idea is to have fun.
