@Llandros2012 I know how you feel man.
I am still getting an LE file relating to RoommateNPC's from the Discover University pack.
Even with all the mods I use to make this game worth playing, that is the ONLY error my game gives.
A Bug that is around 3 bloody years old.
I've said it before and will say it again now. If I was a boss at EA\Maxis, there are a lot of coders I would give a DCM too.
DCM, you ask? Mmmmm, Don't Come Monday, You Are Fired!
Firing your coders is the last thing you'd want to do to fix a game. Also, bugs are normal thing to have in games. What's not normal is how long they've been left unfixed + how unsupported the Q&A of the game appears to be.
It feels more bad than usual. Their old bugs are catching up to them and combine that with these new untested game features and packs that are working so badly you can't tell if it's a bug or by design... it makes it frustrating to play the game right now.
So when they announce kits and focus on scenarios it gives us this impression of neglect, which is something that a company should avoid and prevent by providing proper support.
It is worse than normal, but tbh it's not something ultimately new in terms of behavior we've seem. The truth of the matter is this game/it's engine is too old or too big to be supported properly by its current support team. Devs are expected to push out new content every other month but we're still dealing with bugs that are years old (Im personally still waiting on one that is 3+ years old!!!) so we get new bugs on top of the old bugs. It's a mess.
And of course sometimes fixing the old bugs often makes new bugs. Especially if it's a rushed patch. It's all a mess.
It's a never ending uphill battle and I dont envy the devs at all. Simmers have the right to be upset their game is a barely playable mess but going as far as to say "if it were me I'd fire some of the coders" (paraphrase) isnt fair and imo a bit too far.
