I cannot edit my comment but I would also like to add - if you spend over 500$ on dlc and also own the game before it was made f2p you have no right to try to sell me more stuff in such an aggressive way in a game that is so expensive. Its like having a BMW and paying a subscription for heated seats. Complete madness that only somebody in corporate being detached from reality would think its a good idea. My biggest regret is ever buying any dlc because now I see that I have just wasted a lot of money on all the content that was subpar to begin with, as EA has little or no interest on the consumer and game quality . We have been putting up with these things because many of us grew up with Sims (maxis one), and now we have jobs and can indulge but EA is successfully ensuring that the moment there will be an alternative, the majority of the “wallets/cash cows” will cut their losses and move to that game. What is the kicker is that even if it will be worse, the bar is so low that people will still play it. EA will struggle to find anybody with money willing to spend it on their product. To sum up what they have done now is: made the game unplayable either due to accessibility or being broken, made people very angry as they feel like they matter only in terms of money due to continued attempts to make people pay for game play which should already be included in base game, and pushed the part that has money (because i imagine this stings more if you have all the packs AND THEY STILL TRY TO SELL YOU MORE) to their competitors. They should have never put it f2p, i bought the game so why do i have to deal with incompetent decisions from EA that they thought would make them more money but actually in reality probably did the opposite and now they are scrambling to make money from the people they made the game free.
