Goodbye for now Sims 4
I have today decided to uninstall The Sims 4 from my computer. And I would like to share why. It may not make any difference, it will most likely never reach the developers for the game. But I write i...

Well couldn't help myself to check back to my thread, to see if anyone even bothered reading it. It has been an interesting read through.
I posted what I did, as a last ditch attempt to call out the developers, since having an actual feedback/support line is beneath them. Every time you call EA with something about Sims 4, they direct you here. At least that have been my experience.
I don't like to leave Sims 4 behind, because there are parts of the game that are brilliantly constructed (example: Multitasking sims). But it sort of disappears in bugs and problems for me. And if I can't play for a couple of hours where things just work, it sort of defeats the purpose for me. I work with IT every day, so games for me are just a way of "unplugging" my brain from work.
I have many Sims 4 hours behind me, and I would love if it was better. I have played the Sims since I was 10, I could barely understand English when I started. I have been with the Sims since the start, the first Sims.
And I remember blowing off as many things as I could when an expansion was released. And this continued with The Sims 2, and in some degree Sims 3, some of the expansions was more time consuming than others. Though that said, Sims 3 had its dark moments. Sims 4 was troublesome from the start too, but they got it working, and some expansions came out. Having tried a lot of what the game offers, boredom with the game started. But it seems in the last 6 months or so, that the bugs have taken over the game, and just won't go away, no matter how much the game is patched.
When The Sims 3 was released bugs was also all over, but they did get them fixed. I played the game when it first came out, but left it for a years time before I returned. But then it worked well enough, and I really got into it.
So I might definitely return to Sims 4 in the future, right now, it just needs a timeout.
I do play the game on a Mac, with scarce hard drive space, because I have a SSD drive. So if I don't play it, it goes.
And I decided to abandon the forum because my activity here is mostly trying to help people deal with technical issues. But I couldn't control my curiosity, and ended up reading this thread. Which I didn't expect to find with this many posts in it.
But thanks to you all for reading my "rant" and crafting some really well written posts. Know they were read.
