How playable is the game rn?

*shrug* It kind of depends on you. I have encountered some bugs, but nothing I could not deal with after the major patches. I play vanilla and with Eco Lifestyle. I will caution you that bug farms aren't worth it right now and after playing with ladders they seem to break all sorts of pathing (kind of making me hate them). The one true bug that has been giving me trouble is without fail my locked doors suddenly stop working after a few days.

I play one household I "spit into two" on the same lot. If I turn my head for one moment, they infest each other's houses which should be locked. *shrug* Reset it, it works for a little while, then you have to reset again. Truly the most annoying one for me right now.

It's very playable for me! The only thing that's driving me crazy are the NAPs. I disabled NPC voting and installed a mod, and still my Sims are going crazy with the clay and violins.

Unfortunately, that's a very subjective question. Not everyone encounters every bug, and what one person may consider tolderable or even kinda funny (such as the flaming toilets) another may find too disruptive to enjoy play - or even game breaking.

Personally, I have updated the game but don't have Eco Living yet, so my game isn't suffering most of the issues related to Eco Living that I've read about. I've been playing fine since the hot-fix patch.

If you want an industrial world to stay industrial "they" say I can't do it now without a mod. I had no luck with the mod. I have 5 industrial lots producing an industrial footprint and the neighborhood is still neutral. At this point you can mod the game or disable NAPS. If not "weird things" take place. I personally disabled the pack for now because my game would not run with the mod. It must conflict with another mod but I do not want to play without my main mods which are MCCC, UI Extension, Better Education and All Year plants. As of yesterday, because I decided to send two Sims to uni, I also have some mods that make things faster in the game. Faster Uni homework and faster song writing etc.

It's playable with mods. I have added like six or seven mods just to deal with the horrendous design choices and bugs. :D

It was fine 3 months ago, but I haven't had the chance to play since the new patch/pack came out and I hear there's quite a few bugs, so may depend on what you plan to do in the game haha.

So NAPS is the feature of the new EP that makes global warming (or whatever it is) apply to all worlds? So it can disabled for all worlds?
So if i disabled it will I have less bugs? I want CAS and build items of that EP so bad

The flaming toilet bug was funny at first but now it's getting repetitive and boring so I dont want it in my game, unless it rarely happens..but if these bugs happen constantly I dont think it'll be worth it :/

Yeah like everyone's said, it really depends on what you plan to do. I'm still playing it and don't have BIG issues, now I've disabled NPC voting, but I do still have residual issues from before it was disabled (the exercise one was enabled when I first got Eco-Living, and ever since my sim can't finish a single action without cancelling it and doing push-ups or stretching, even tho it's been reversed and voting turned off! For me it feels like a big issue because I now have to play out the rest of his life following him and cancelling all of his exercise actions to make him follow through with what I want him to do, and now he has a family it's a nightmare and is driving me crazy!) I deleted the bar in the industrial zone in the new world with plans to turn it into a residential lot...I've been playing for a few days to build that character, just checked the world and that neighbourhood is now neutral...so I can't experience playing in the only industrial neighbourhood because there isn't one!!

So, I'd say the game is still playable, but with some annoyances. If you don't want to play with the eco-footprint aspect, and if you turn off NPC voting for NAPS before you even start, then you have a good chance of still being able to play the game. (Sadly, I realise this is basically turning off all aspects of Eco-Living other than the Build and CAS objects :/ )
