Sims 4: Pay for DLCs, or postpone new DLCs for bug fixes? No happy middle.

If you buy a car and it doesn't run, what's the point of buying it?

I am currently sitting here, having already bought HSY (yes, I recognize my mistake), waiting for it to be playable without having my Sims that I've played with for years all suddenly grow old and die. I would have been happy to wait if they had told us there was a game-breaking bug that would kill our Sims, but since they didn't tell us (and took our money anyway), I'm not too happy.

The bugs have gotten completely out of hand. Between that, the player railroading, and the half-baked female werewolf customization, it's almost like either a) the devs don't want to work on this game anymore or b) EA is trying to kill the franchise. Really, the amount of problems with TS4 are really starting to look like the gaming equivalent of shoving a show into The Friday Night Death Slot.

Well not only am I out of funds currently the bugs really have gotten out of hand with the last few packs all adding their own broken contents on the ever growing list of things that should be fixed asap

theres just not gonna be working game if they keep throwing broken content at it not giving bug fixes team time to sort at least some of the bugs before they add new ones

I'm pretty sure you know where I stand, but I would rather have the crappiest graphics, elevator music, and yet excellent game play over the opposite. Dlcs are not a priority here.

I want both.

They actually do both at the same time.... No company stops producing goods to fix things. There are separate teams for that. I never understand why people want production stopped....
Imagine if the hospital stopped seeing patients to fix the broken equipment. They instead call the fixer team (whatever they may be called) to work on it while still seeing patients.

It's because some of us will stop buying until things actually get fixed... I'm not saying that to be mean, I'm already there.

I noticed that we got some old and new bugs with HSY and if this is going to keep happening then I think that they should focus on keeping the game in a good playable state and perhaps not make so much dlc.

But it’s easier said than done and we might not like it…

Rockstar games did this recently. They got a lot of backlash for their GTA remasters, people were being disappointed about problems with GTA online and lack of updates for Read Dead 2 online.

They recently released an update for GTA online which have a lot of updates with what the community have asked for… but they also canceled future remasters and dropped support for Read Dead 2 online so they could focus on GTA 6.

I want more bug fixes but we could end up with more kits and less larger packs as a result… so it’s difficult.

The one and only DLC I have bought at full price was Dine out, the amount of bugs still there has shown me that it's just not worth it. I wait for bug fixes and then buy them at sales, since they won't be bug free anyway.

Now, if a pack did arrive fully formed without the bugs, then I might be willing to pay full price for it.

I want bug fixes, and I want new DLC to be released without lots of new bugs. I know in complicated software, bugs do happen, but this game breaking stuff is discouraging.
