I turned on my PlayStation and the update automatically installed. I do have a cart, but it does not pulse and there is no light on it. If I click on the cart, it tells me that I own all the packs, but that there might be more. I do not own the new Crystal Creations, and I do not own all the kits, but I own all of the older EPs, GPs and SPs.
What is in my game TONIGHT will not make me sick. I don't know what my game would have been like before the hotfix, and I do not know what it will be like tomorrow, but TONIGHT on PlayStation, owning the packs listed above, my game will not make me sick.
My experience so far with the light as well as the pulse was that it was very inconsistent. I built for a while yesterday and there was no light. Then I restarted the game later and there was a light.
I do not feel safe anymore. I feel like that button could just start flashing at any moment making my game unsafe for me to play. I feel like any upcoming update could do something equally game-changing with no warning. I feel like my game could be stolen at any moment with no warning. So much of playing the Sims is about building and planning and doing things that are for delayed gratification. Investing time to create a world isn't fun if you are worried that you will never get a chance to play in it.
Trust, loyalty, feeling heard, feeling safe are all things that we are feeling less of. Most abused women do not leave the day that they give up hope on their marriage. Most stay a bit longer and plot and plan their next move and wait for the most convenient and safest time to make their exit. EA has crossed a line with some of us. Now isn't the best time for us to leave, but some of us are plotting and planning futures that do not include staying with the Sims. This marriage is over even if we are still loading our games and buying DLC. We can be won back, but ... that will require something that no one is expecting.
