Maybe the "new Sims experience" could be optional multiplayer a la Stardew Valley.

They scramble the entire screen the minute I touch a screen. White ziggly lines like something hit by a surge of electricity. I even tried the Microsoft Surface pro - it actually stopped functioning when I tried it in the store. They had me try two other versions including surface pro two - did the same thing. In the store though several other customers said they have the same issues on every device they try. The manager of the store said he is seeing more of this kind of issue and that it is not the devices. He used the same tablet I tried - and it behaved beautifully for him. It was apparently me creating the problem.

Some years ago Princeton University was doing some research into this - "electric people" I understand - but I don't believe they have any real answers. Technically Science still refutes it even when they see it with their own eyes. So it would be nice if Princeton comes up with some answers.
