Thoughts on For Rent and Business & Hobbies and their Issues

So I never bought For Rent because I was warned about the myriad of issues, and I was on a break from the game when Business & Hobbies came out, and though it interested me—I heard it too had some issues too, and thought I just wait for a decent discount.

But I was reading there is a bit of focus on save corruption with specific mentions of FR:

  • We’re also tracking any potential links to specific expansion packs or objects, though corruption reports predate packs like The Sims 4 For Rent.
  • Instances of corruption existed before the release of For Rent, and our investigations into individual packs remain a top priority.

So if this gets resolved within this time they claim to be catching up on issues during this "break", is that the biggest issue with this pack, or is it still not safe to buy?

And with B&H I was thinking of waiting till 50% off, which may or may not be around Black Friday/Cyber Monday or even end of the year sale, are the issues of that alright enough to deal with at discount, or should I wait longer and/or for specific fixes?

  • I haven't had any issues with For Rent or Business & Hobbies. I've been playing both since release in a save that dates back over ten years. I take backups with every update and use no mods (or CC). I guess it's possible I got lucky with this, but also the bugs do not affect everyone. I understand people being wary especially with older saves... I would be too if I hadn't jumped right in. Let's pray my game stays on the safe side lol.

    You know I usually start fresh save files after a new EP or buying new EPs to prevent save file issues. So maybe this won't effect me as much as I thought it would.

    I do use some mods but I'd say they are "light" as most are minor file tuning, the 5 trait in CAS mod, lock skill script mod (so far never had an issue with this despite it being way out of date), and calorie tweaked script mod. I just want to minimize issues caused by mods.

    So next sale I think I'll pull the trigger then, thank you :)
