Since many of us are having game-breaking issues, EA would be smart to release at least a small hot fix patch before too much longer. Must we constantly be forced to rely on mods to solve the issues? I'm still waiting for twenty nine mods to be updated, and adding more just isn't part of my plan. Oh wait, this is EA we're talking about. They'll drag this out as long as they can before making any attempt to resolve the problems. How long did we wait for the stinky leaf piles to be fixed? Yep, I see more mods in my future. So not cool. :s
