Growing together early access?

Well, I understand they are still working on a lot of things since this is a very complicated pack and update. But they usually give Early Access to Game Changers to help find some of the bugs so they can be addressed beforehand. I guess all we can do is be patient and hope for the best outcome.

This is very concerning for me.

That's a little disappointed. I was low key hoping for the content at the end of this week. If this is to fix bugs, then great, but after HSY hype I'm not going to fall for this again. Before I buy, I need to know if these new conversation preferences and compatibility aren't going to break all the relationships and make sims miserable.

I think they are fixing some last minute bugs. If the early access footage has disclaimers about "Not final software" then that is the most likely scenario. Better they get them fixed before giving access to a large number of players (even GC/CN folk) as a lot pf people rely on reviews before buying packs.

Wow, this is late, but I am somewhat glad as said. But makes the wait even longer...

It's become really sad that after MWS, HSY and multiple game breaking patches, I no longer trust new content to be working on release. I am so desperate for all this new content too, but I won't be updating the game or purchasing anything until I know what it's broken. If they are holding back to fix bugs, I guess that is a good thing, but still makes me worry what it will be like on release.

No one can blame you for being cautious after the many glitchy packs and updates that have been difficult to deal with. I am dealing with not being able to play my game because of the EA App's many issues. The trust I once had in EA's capabilities is irretrievably broken right now. All because of an app I am forced to use. And right now, I'm not sure if that will be fixed so I can play Sims4 at all in the future. As of yesterday, the EA App has been unable to load the game. Before that I was unable to disable some packs I no longer want. And last night I found out the embargo won't be lifted until the day before the infant update. This all began when I was no longer able to use Origin, and I am not happy. Just sad. Sad because the pack I have been waiting for since 2017 might not make it into my game because I can't access my game. I have visited the app's help site, tried some things that worked for other players, and nothing I have tried so far has worked. So, if the embargo has not yet been lifted because of lingering issues with the pack and update, I sure hope they are also working on the app itself. :/

Thank you for letting us know ! How did you find out ?

Also, can we all agree that there's a difference between content creators gaining 'early access' to a new pack closer to release, where they are free to post, basically, whatever they like - and then - the 'embargo lift' for pre-recorded content from when they initially got to play an early version of the pack ?

I wonder if they aren’t doing early access for more creators because of infants? As much as I would love to see more, we’ve waited this long already—what’s one more week? :D It might be nice having everything be more of a “surprise” on release day, lol. :D

Thank you @simgirl1010 for the information about Embargo information. Wish it was earlier, but it is what it is. I am looking forward to the game release and the update even the bugs that go along. I don't have to many bugs in my game, but I have a newer laptop thanks to my son. He bought me a new laptop in 2022.
