Gotta say fixing this game still has a long way to go

Much is improved; I'll give you that. But that's kind of sad, given how much is still broken. And I play it and enjoy it, but it's like I'm only getting 3/4 of what I should be getting. Every day it's an endless dance through the minefield of bugs, constantly discovering things that don't work and adjusting. Can't light fireworks; remove that from my holiday rituals. Plants keep reverting state to piles of dirt; eventually give up on gardening. Neighbor sims come running into my house if I play as a family; make a mod to turn off family meal situations since that's what's causing it, and somehow I know that but you don't. I could go on and on, and that's not counting the things that were just plain horribly implemented and overpower gameplay that I just mod or turn off, like lifestyles and Neighborhood Plans. While I'm looking forward to the teen school expansion this week, at the same time it scares the plums out of me with its sexual orientation and especially, the wants and fears systems. They both sound like great additions, but so often things seem to go sideways. I really hope more thought has been put into them about how they will affect gameplay balance over all than in the past.
