Now that I think about it, the updates do make the game run smoother for me, but the thing about accumulating oddities might be worth looking into…
While I have no doubt that the updates do fix things, I think some persistent elements aren’t so much an issue with the updates or because bugs aren’t addressed… it’s got more to do with in game maintenance.
One odd thing that happened after the High School update was the near max romance between one of my twin mermen and his uncle…
The only way to clear that “relationship” was to create a new save.
Before the updates for lifestyles, my sims accumulated more than 3. The update did stop my sims from getting more than 3 Life Styles, but I had to go in and use the Lifestyle-go-poof elixir to clean up the accumulated lifestyles.
Something that might be worth looking into are the possibility of players needing to clean up some things. The updates do seem to prevent the odd stuff from happening, but there might be some instances where the player needs to intervene, especially with existing sims.
I’d recommend identifying those situations after testing the updates. The updates do prevent the bugs from resurfacing, but they don’t fix the bugged sims. That doesn’t mean a bugged sim is permanently glitched or corrupted though.
