How playable is the game rn?

Very unplayable for me. I tried again yesterday and only lasted like 5 min

I haven't noticed any gamebreaking bugs, its a bit slower than usual but pretty sure that's just my pc. Sims have an obsession with making white cake every 30 seconds and there's a bug with bulldozing lots in the new apartments and not being able to use the balconies but that's about it

A friend of mine also stopped playing due to too many bugs introduced, stuck in career bug everytime he is being presented with celebrity opportunities, unclickable sims portraits after social events outside homelot,obsession with practice programming and sims refuse to eat food.

One bug is that if you place an EL community lot from the Gallery in another world, when you exit the lot it says that the lot is incomplete even if all the requirements are met. I was able to place a Maker Space in Newcrest, but when I tried to put a Community Garden in Willow Creek my game crashed (fortunately it was just my template save and I was adding stuff before playing).

Also I disabled NAPs and the Eco Footprint but I'm still seeing things passed in one save (my test save); so far in my current actual gameplay I haven't seen anything but I'm still in the middle of the first week.

So far, my Sims will not stay on task with full autonomy on, and now when moving a Sim to University housing, they exist, and don't exist at the same time. My game sort of crashed when moving my Sim, and he didn't show up either in University housing or his own home. But, another Sim I played before simply just starting a new save received a text from him. And then there's the bug I had with Servos being treated as a human with their needs. It's also been mentioned here they can get pregnant now.

I knew of the dumpster fire NAPs were at the time I bought Eco Living; which was why I disabled them. It is not worth full MSRP in the least.

Seems one step forward, two steps back. The only major bug I had before the patch was the well-known Get Famous bug where a Sim wouldn't go to gigs. Didn't bother me, as I never even used that feature very often. Now, I've got four that are driving me nuts!

My main issues, besides abuse of the NAPs, is that one of my old saves has TREMENDOUS lag. The game will simply stop and the clock will go haywire for a bit trying to figure out where it is, until the simulation resumes. However, this is a save with a LOT of sims in it, and it's a save that's got a lot of mod intrusion -- based on mods that modify relationships, with new interactions, etc, so that's that's less an EL thing.

My game is okay right now: no lag or significant bugs even with old saves and a ton of mods/cc installed. I disabled NAPS from the beginning, though, and haven't done too much with EL so we'll see.

I don't have eco living, I do have some bugs.

Movies never end, Sims sit and keep watching while it plays over again.

My harvestables suddenly turn into seeds, grow then turn into seeds again. I finally just deleted them all, so much for building gardening skill.

I had flaming toilet, got a mod to fix that.

None of them stopped me from playing, but still kind of hate that pack and wouldn't have it if someone gave it to me.

I've seen the issue with Sims watching the same movie over and over. Haven't done gardening in my current save yet nor have I bought the exploding toilet.

Mine is very playable. Sometimes I don't like the built in game design so I find a way around it or turn it off if possible or play in another way, but I don't call it a bug if it's working as intended but I don't like it. Some bugs and glitches I see currently aren't crippling to my game play because I treat them the same. I think it helps that I can play in multiple ways though as a work around so I don't spend a lot of time upset. I don't have any of the bugs that would possibly shut my gameplay down that others are reporting right now.
I'm not currently using mods at all though and for me the ones that really mess up my saves happen when I'm using mods for fun.. especially multiple mods.
I do notice overpopulation beyond the suggested amount makes my saves start to lag and slow so .. I'm pretty careful with culling the population myself and limiting playable households per save.
