I think those who play with many mods installed which might actually remove all the annoying stuff and or make the Sim Fine, and or change how the game mechanics work might not remember how shallow and annoying this game can be. I played the vanilla game for three years, and it never did get any better with the constant hugging, dropping commands out of queue, never able to queue up eight things at one time, they cancelled most things, never able to cancel an action, like where are you going?! Anoying stuff like losing all stuff in inventory, or returning bugs such as in the detective career, or annoying things like not wearing the outfit we spent time creating, or played Sims working as vendors or at least dressing as a vendor, or things not working such the very features of a game pack or EP, and or previous packs getting all bugged out like vampires were broken for a few years, might still be, or removing cheats and never saying a thing about it, and or Origin freaking out might not know what other people actually go through with the packs they already spent money on, and if one never sends a Sim to a cafe over and over (as a way to not cook often) they may never see Sims don't get waited on, or old returning bugs like Sims out on a the roof, etc. or even care or know about a stump seat in the game can cause the Sim to run there to feed a toddler when the toddler is in the house sitting in it's highchair, or they may not care the game wiped a person's saves out of existance, and or with their mods installed they may never see Sims switch partners, on the fly, on a dime, in the middle of dinner at a restuarant, suddenly they become gay or straight or bi and switch. And or lots become defective and may not be playable anymore an switch to a hidden generic lot and never be used as a business lot again for some odd reasons if in bin during a patch and or new installment, and I could go on forever.
It's time to end this sad case and start a new sad case, lol, bring on TS5 already. This isn't even a drop in the bucket of TS4's problems and I don't even won't to go through more of it, with the packs I know are broken already on day of release according to bug reports and wait another five years for perhaps one day getting something small fixed in them. Why on earth would I do that. The things I have listed didn't eve mention some job features don't even work or dozens of other things and buy more of the same or add more problems? I won't install mods to 'fix' anything. It shouldn't be my responsibilty.
