Gotta say HS is a bug fllled mess

I just keep finding more and more things that are not working right. Now I have sims getting detention because they seem to get stuck standing in the same spot as each other. My sim will not stop wearing a chess uniform even though he quit the chess team. But the biggest one I've found now involves wants and fears. Not sure why it was implemented to include uncontrolled unplayed sims, but not a good idea. I couldn't figure out why everyone at my school was so grouchy, so I started checking. All 18 students I looked at, the two teachers, the principal, the cafeteria lady, even the custodian. EVERY single one of them has the trait fear of unfulfilled dreams. All. And this is two sim weeks after I turned wants and fears off. Yeah, I can probably mod it out. AGAIN. But seriously, I should be on the payroll for fixing my own game; I make at least two mods every time I play. I'm sure there are a lot of hard working programmers at EAxis, but whoever was responsible for greenlighting this thing as ready to sell should be ashamed.
  • The type and number of bugs/glitches being reported have a lot to do with which new features each player prefers to play around with and that depends on the storylines they have in mind for their Sims. So, that means different players will encounter different bugs. And as far as playing with mods or mods needing to be updated doing so can interfere with some new features. However, the players that prefer to play without mods and CC are experiencing just as many bugs as the players who use mods and CC which means this new pack was borked upon release. One just has to read all the remarks disappointed players have posted to understand this. It's a bug filled mess and there is no excuse for that to have happened except EA/Maxis got in a hurry to release it before the pack was ready to be released. It is hardly the first time this has happened, and it won't be the last time either. As long as players rush to purchase new packs before taking the time to see how these packs impact the game, EA will push to release anything that is even remotely ready to play. I am deeply disappointed this happened with this latest new EP because I was very excited about it when it was announced. Now I will have to wait to play it sometime in the future once it has been fixed. And that is a horrible way to market a new product.

    Yup. We could throw a bugfest in this forums thanks to this.

    We can enjoy great bugs such as:
    • Tables under bunk beds losing stuff attached to them (things on the table and chair) when you load back into the lot.
    • Grades not improving.
    • Sims getting expelled quite easily and randomly.
    • Sims doing things outside their intended s. orientation.
    • Graduation ceremony doesn't work. For me, the valedictorian gave speech, then the principal started handing out diplomas, but only the valedictorian was called up and given one. I had to direct my sim to get her diploma.
    • Trendi outfits even sell for 5,555,555 Simoleons (yup, tested this one out myself).
    • If a sim goes to an after-school activity while at high school and it causes the game to load you back at home, they'll immediately be back from the high school activity.
    • Teachers not being in the class to give lessons.
    • Teachers not doing their job or students skipping classes because of their décor preferences. I just have to react to how bad this table is. Worth skipping the class!
    • Sims sometimes not getting a picture from the photo booth.
    • Sims going to sleep in an outfit you put together in the Thrift store. Yup! Sleeping with shoes on is back in fashion!
    • School lunch sometimes disappers.
    • You'll still get an acceptance letter to universities even when your sim isn't accepted into any degree (due to not graduating the high school).


    Yay (sarcastically)!

    I'm pretty sure HS is my least favorite pack ever. Not only is bugged to death, but it's BORING. I mean there are fun things to do, but the replayability of those things is nothing. It all gets old FAST.

    I love the pack itself, but Social Bunny is ruining everything, making all Sims pansexual, incesty and/or pedophiles. :s

    I hate the update that became before the pack, I can't even play my old saves (because of the aging bug) and I miss my Sims. For the first time I'm bored with Sims 4.
    I've been playing Stardew Valley while I wait for EA to fix their mess.
