Sims 4 is buggy, and it could get worse .

I believe the devs said early on that Sims 4 was actually created more robustly and intended to sustain itself longer. This, of course, doesn't mean completely bug free. The more you add to any Sims game, the higher the chances of bugs happening. This is The Way. It does mean that the game can take a lot more weight than previous iterations, though. From my own experience, this proves to be true so far.

But I think, also, that the pandemic has something to do with it as well. Quality took a bit of a dive this year for the EPs and I'm not talking about actual content, I think that's been fine, but the glitches and bugs got crazy after lockdown. I think it might be prudent for them to take a bit of a breather, step back for a few months, and iron out as many bugs as they can, then proceed with new content releases. I know they'll probably never do this, but I feel that they should. It could squeeze another couple of years out of the game to buy more time for Sims 5, if it is indeed in the planning.
