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

id like to be able to downgrade my game in case patches as horrid as this become a common occurrence

I doubt this is about specs... or is it? Still, the game is unplayable on my end.

I don't think it will be the case because my experience with TS3 was worse after only 4 years.
TS4 is 8 years old, it doesn't crash when I try to save a game like TS3 did.

Oh, don't get me wrong. It "plays", but the toggles don't work- so there is really no reason to keep playing. I am sick of having celebs all over and being scared of the world. It's exaggerated to the point of being utterly annoying.

TS3 just lags to the point of being frustrating.

I doubt everything you just stated. Sorry. 5 billion dollars should be enough to fix all the bugs ten times over.

It's impossible to know everything at 100% .
And it's worse when other people more or less tired are working on the same project.

Keep in mind they are humans, they make mistakes like everybody.


The game is different for everybody, for example I had none of these bugs in my game (Aging and Fame are off).
If I was an EA employee I wouldn't find them.

If you were an EA employee who is testing if features are working, you would have both aging and fame on. I actually have aging and fame off and I noticed fame being added to a Sim and my Sims ready to age up when that has never happened before. So if I can easily catch it so should they.

Fame is still off in my game I don't know this bug.

Maybe you should start a new game to check if this issue occurs.

Just tried. I still get fame points. Sorry, it's a bug.

I want more DLC packs, however, I chose the bug fixes.
I don't buy packs right away, except for Paranormal and Werewolves, because I have seen people having to deal with the bugs.
The packs seem like they were made to be stand alone, like if you had the base game and the specific pack, it would be fine. The thing is that most players have more than one pack, and it sometimes feels like the packs don't mesh well together, and causes glitches. Even some packs feel like they should've done a couple more test runs before it was released.
So, even though I want more DLC, I would rather have the bug fixes.

Strange, these bugs aren't in my game.

Do you own all the packs ?

I try to understand but maybe I don't use the same features that you use.

It's okay. And no, I only grabbed the EPs, except HSY and G2W, all GPs except Wedding, all the SPs, and a small amount of kits. If I had to deal with every single bug in the entire game at once, I would probably go insane.

In any case, we already knew G2W was a mess for some time now, yet I don't recall anyone saying anything has been done about it yet. That's only one pack, bugs are everywhere.

i went both dlc and bug fix but that option is not on the poll

It's a tradeoff. Something has to give.

Sometimes the bugs doesn't occur when the new pack is installed.
I would recommend to do not update your game if you don't plan to buy the new DLC, wait and see if bugs are reported.

I got it on Steam, aka auto updates. :s

@Gamer_34567544 Right click Properties, go to updates, set to "only update when I launch it". Only play when Steam and Origin are both in offline mode. Had to use this workaround a lot for other games when I had limited data per month. In some cases you have to make a shortcut to the exe.
