Seriously, who programs this thing?

Just wait. It gets worse the longer you play around with everything. Since installing the update and the pack I've had to add ten new mods to my game. And I have the NAPs and NPC voting turned off because I couldn't handle all the silliness that was going on with that feature. Mods for the gardening issues, mods for autonomous behaviors that are so repetitive they interfere with everything you want your Sims to do. Pets randomly disappear off my lots, just 'poof' and they're gone with no explanation why. The good news is all but one of the new gameplay objects work as advertised, but the rest of this pack is a jumbled mess. As usual, the new gameplay features in EL are stomping all over the main features from a lot of previous packs. Seasons, Get to Work, Cats and Dogs, Get Famous, City Living.....the list goes on and on. The pre-ep update is responsible for some of the new bugs, but the pack itself has more problems than Island Living did, and I thought that was a nightmare to deal with. EL's problems are worse because it touches/alters way too many of the main features of the game. And apparently, no one tested this pack with all the packs to see where the game needed some fine tuning before EA shoved it out the door and went on to other things.
