Poor MAXIS

What are you talking about? I've been playing for 6 hours without a hitch.

Not just Maxis. Check the steam forums on other EA games. Everybody is against the app and some have found work arounds to keep origin.

Ahh, good.

So, it's not just me and my shiny new PC having the troubles.

Updated the EA App. then updated the game.
Then, paid for and downloaded Copperdale and Growing together packs.
waited and waited, finally it all got down and installed.
That's when all the new shiny bugs began to bite.

Sims can't travel from home lots using the normal travel commands, sims just disappear and become invisible after giving them a command, Sims go totally unresponsive standing in T pose for no reason, hungry sims won't eat when you command them to.

Thanks Maxis, for now at least, my game is basicly unplayable.

Well if you just bought HSY, that was a deliberate addition as a joke, because I guess kids do that in RL as a challenge.

They do a T pose challenge and if you want to you can have your sims join it . Never heard of it until the HSY pack but i believe they are meant to stand there like that for as long as possible

I just don't understand why someone decided to force an app with known many faults on everyone exactly the time the new pack was releasing. Or close to it. Timing just seems weird and I feel like it really kinda overshadowed an otherwise amazing pack. This EA app change should have at least came a few weeks after this pack release.

But I hope the team is not disappointed! Pack is definitely amazing. They did a wonderful job?? (as always ?)

Funny as people complained so much about origin and it's problems and now complaining about the EA app and want Origin back that still has it's problems. :D The both of them seem to be more or less the same.

Only problem I had with EA app was trying to re-do my paypal when it kept telling me to try again later a few days back. Plus thought updating S4 also had downloaded the EP, but I had to go in and click download for it. No other problems thus far. I know everyone's experience will vary though with problems.

Maybe if they did things right the first time there wouldn't be so many upset people.

I've been waiting for 24 hours for Growing Together to download. My account says it's been delivered, in game says I own it but the EA app doesn't seem to notice. Help Center said, basically, "Yeah, there's a lot of that going around. We're working on it." Grah.

Yeah, EA App isn't perfect by far, but with Origin, every time the app got an update, when I tried updating it always messed up and I would end up having to uninstall the app and reinstall it for it to work again. I used to hate having to update Origin.
