You can throw Adventure Awaits in this category. I dont know when they began to think adding scripting your own game would be a fun thing to do as a player- but it does not cut it for me. It's make shift something- that doesnt really end up feeling like the something you originally wanted- End product shipped as a game dlc just doesn't work. I want it to work. I want it to fill the massive desire I have to fill in everything that is missing for this game- but it doesnt. I have faced additional issues crashes things I never seen before with this latest pack. I have barely played because of the issues. Camping is good- aspect was best developed. Reality tv- where's the camera? It doesnt really feel like it. I like the get away but the point does not play out.
Also the endless hours of set up and no play. For rent- when it was not infinite loading screens, crashes save corrupts-- the weeks it took to roll back the save, starter three new saves,... all the work I did for the multi family lots- its like 5 houses in one- all gone-- all of the many- because its on corrupt saves- or I can not use residential rentals or it will burn my newest created save.
Business and Hobbies really doesn't pan out well for more than tattoo parlor for whatever reason. It just doesn't. I made a few other things which kind of worked, many which I was doing anyway with get together club system, but I just don't think it's as great as it should run. I wish they could take the time off from putting out packs to make it run more like an entertaining game. Asking the player to program everything in the game and see if it works kind of bl*ws from my experience. I spent this weekend trying to fix my game. Nothing really works. I can build on a vanilla save(goodness willing- even that is temperamental) and hours in cas, replacing all the missing shoes and hair from the trivial issue updates- not designed to fix and important issues- but seems like intended to break any mods related to upcoming of new content. For rent has been broken for 2 years. My wedding stories was never fixed. I'm drowning in new empty worlds I cant even play because it's one issue or another.
Actually, AA is one reason I made this post, so many activities are not working, I feel I have been beta testing, and finding issues. I just thought if FR and B&H were on top of it the game would really be buggy.
I am also avoiding Wedding Stories because I heard it never worked.
The world that comes from MWS Tartosa is beautiful and one of my favorite but if you ever enjoyed making and having weddings, dont get this pack, because it actively ruins them for good and you can't get base game weddings back. My work around was only to have vacation weddings where all of them were trapped on a lot (can't leave the bride or groom) and all guest - just elope at some point on the vacation. Sad. I realized you could make with the new pack a destination weddings, but that should have been a feature with my wedding stories and I dont feel like acting like a computer programmer making a customer venue and event. I dont like the direction these packs are going. it takes the joy out of playing. Feels like we are doing the job of the game creator, instead slapped with the bigger dlc price. Tattor parlor, and camps should have been game pack dlc. all these setting up should be applied to broken dlc of the past and multi-fuctional lots should be a free base game update. I gather part of the problem they are having is trying to lock some universal features behind a paywall.
