1) What, if any, bugs and/or game issues are you currently experiencing? (if you are not experiencing any issues just answer 'No Issues')
Plants randomly reverting to dirt piles
Family tree is randomly broken leading to parents attempting to romance their children and siblings trying to romance other siblings (with romance bars included)
All elders have fear of death, which means they do almost nothing but run around screaming incoherently
Promotion goals on different careers randomly reset to zero once completed
Completed goals for aspirations also randomly reset to zero once completed
Can't complete a job on Dream Home Decorator (won't leave worksite at end of job)
Detective Career randomly won't allow me to interrogate suspects and/or arrested suspects don't appear in cell
Excessive phone usage
Sims randomly disappearing from screen, leaving only a floating plumbob to indicate where they are
2) Do any of these bugs and/or game issues limit or interfere with your ability to play the Sims 4?
Yes, greatly
3) Do any of these bugs and/or game issues prevent you from playing the Sims 4?
I'm still playing the Sims 4, but mods have become a necessity rather than an option for me in order to play the game.
4) Have any of of these bugs and/or game issues necessitated the use of mods in order for you to play the Sims 4?
Yes, absolutely. Mods are no longer optional for me.
5) What, if anything, have you tried to fix these issues? (eg followed recommendations for clearing cache, repaired game, updated drivers etc)
All of the above, including doing a complete factory reset & save reload. I'm also running the Sims 4 on a more than powerful enough computer, which is updated regularly.
6) Have you reported these bugs and/or game issues to the EA help centre, or clicked on 'me too' for an existing bug report? (If no, why?)
I've reported most and clicked 'me too' on others. Those I haven't yet reported is because I'm either determining if it's an actual bug or just a game glitch and/or I don't always have the mental energy to go through the report process.
