Happy Release Day!

I WANT to get it today, but I want the major bugs to be fixed first.

This recent patch is a mess but I need a sliver of happiness right now. I've had a cloud of bad luck over my head the majority of this year. I'll take any ounce of joy. ?

Haven't updated my game to the new patch yet, so somewhere between 'waiting for fixes' and 'get it on sale'. Wasn't crazy about the whole high school aspect, but there were things I did like.

Did just pay the balance for my Jawa costume (utinni!) so that's my big spending purchase for the day.

First time I haven't bought an expansion pack on release day, but not really feelin it.

I'm not waiting for fixes per se, I already have it pre ordered but I'm waiting for some mod fixes. Also busy so can't really play anyway until Sunday or next week. I'm super excited to start playing though???

I mean this genuinely and sincerely when I say this: To all of you who are apparently buying it today, good luck. I see some of you already updated the disastrous patch from yesterday, and feel like it couldn't get any worse. But there's a reason why I personally stopped day one patching and waiting to see how new packs integrated into the game.

Since this was a pack I was excited about, I originally only planned on waiting about a week or so to see how buggy it would be and what it would break. But after yesterdays patch that I refuse to download, I guess I'll be waiting for a sale. If any of the patch problems are on par with what we might see with HSY, we might get a sale earlier than usually expected.

I preordered it about a week ago, so... I'll be getting it today.
The problem is that I don't have a teenager in my current active save and I'm stuck with playing it because it's the only one that I know is fully on normal lifespan and the aging bug hasn't messed it up (yet). I'm not going to take any risk with my other saves.
I really don't want to start yet another new save just because I need a teenager to play the new pack, but I probably have to anyway.
I will choose a premade Sim to play or something, so I can just delete the save without being too attached to it after the bug gets fixed. I'll probably play with Malcolm Landgraab because I don't care about him. :disappointed:

I've been building and making sims and now just waiting for Noon for it to drop, I have like 20 teens I think in my Sim World.

Not patched even, what is a shame as I had lots of ideas , what to do after patch.

Waiting to see how it breaks other simmers games first! Also, waiting for fix to current ageing and fame bugs from recent patch. When the coast is clear, I'll buy.

I'm getting it for the bb, cas, and shaving. They would have got a preorder but ea needs to know that for me a preorder's main incentive to buy early is to download and play earlier than release time.
