New Things or Bug Fixes?

I rarely see bugs so most of the fixes has not created anything for me - so I get excited for new stuff. My game always plays amazing and what few I have seen was just a matter of avoiding the things with issues - as the gameplay itself has been flawless. I saw trouble with the Lice cold freezer not selling veggies/fruits and the bargain table not selling things for a while. I believe there was also an issue with selling pictures but I never tried buying or selling any to know for sure. LOL.

So I can understand if games need serious fixes why that would be more important to the people with the issues. Because of that I do really appreciate the constant fixes the teams work on and put out every month - sometimes even more often. I can imagine for someone having bug problems - new things wouldn't be appreciated if they can't even play the game due to issues.

So I see both sides of the coin - but I am glad I rarely ever have had issues in Sims 4 - thank goodness.Unlike Sims 3 - I can't fix the game myself - LOL. It's inner sanctions is a mystery out of my league - for sure.

The Sims 4 has its share of bugs, but most of them are isolated issues. If they affect Gameplay they usually send out a Emergency Patch right away (except for the clock going backwards glitch).

Sims 3 usually had unavoidable bugs and we had to wait for the next pre-pack patch for a fix. But it was usually world related which meant no matter where you went it would happen.

That’s my experience anyway. 3’s bugs were in your face all the time, where 4 usually has broken gameplay that’s isolated to a specific thing.

Leaf piles are aesthetically displeasing, but they're not game-breaking. Bugs that prevent people from even loading their game or that corrupt saves or that break key gameplay features are a lot more urgent. Knock wood, I've never had any of those issues, unlike in Sims 3 where I lost many saves to Error Code 12 or Error Code 16 until I installed some of the NRaas mods to turn off "features" that were killing my game. I can work around the leaf piles (my current Sims are in San Myshuno where I've never seen a leaf pile except for that area near Myshuno Meadows) and Willow Creek (they're on a farm located on the lot where Oakenstead used to sit, and there haven't been any leaf piles in the nearby open space but their first autumn there after moving from Newcrest just started.
