Update Now Available, Tuesday 8/30

I guess expecting the wants and fears option to actually be fixed and remain off when ticked was too much to ask.

I guess I can now start playing 'to catch a predator' -detective and he's not going to just arrest the predators, he's going to "take care" of them by feeding them to either his cowplant or sharks/piranhas.

So to sum it up, a bug fix with no real bugs fixed. Scenarios don't count. I'm going back to Sims3.

Snowy escape is still broken, the mountain excursion event and bathhouse lot are broken. I was really hoping to see actual bug fixes for base game alongside other packs. Hopefully next time?

So far, with just non-scripted clothing and appearance mods, and I'm still getting Groundhogs Day which sets me at midnight on Sunday no matter when I start; in this case it was a new game at 8am on Saturday. Teleport/reset when stepping off to walk, teleporting/reset when getting into a basegame bed. Le sigh. Grateful for what has been done but disappointed that little that makes the game near unplayable has been addressed.

Wow. Yeah the focus on scenarios is incredibly disappointing. I was especially hoping for a fix for sims autonomously flirting with happily taken sims. Their partners keep getting angry even though there's no romance bar. :(

I heard that happens in real life too! Why take the drama away?

Lmao?

Looking at these "patch" notes that don't really fix anything, I'm going back to building. I haven't played a sim since the fiasco that was the HSY patch and I don't see myself playing one any time soon.

Every time I use my test sim to play test a lot and I see that the dang blasted wants pop back after I've already enabled/disabled them multiple times in this save? I get annoyed...again.

Seriously, I don't want this in my game. I don't want scenarios in my game. I don't want even more butt ugly premades in my game. Let me play my game my way and stop trying to force me to play it "your" way. *DEEP BREATH*.... I'm going back to building before my head explodes.

Oh and thank goodness for mod makers (because I'm too lazy to do it myself). They keep fixing everything that EA fails to fix themselves. I need to search out some good lighting mods because the light in so many of these new worlds is subpar.

Aside: Did anybody notice the interesting names of the premades? I can't help but hope that it's a clue that we're about to get something interesting. Midnight Hollow (Yeah yeah we already have Forgotten Hollow...bah bah) or maybe some Hispanic CAS/Build items. My little Cuban heart would be so happy if I could dress my sims and decorate my households to reflect me and my culture more (yeah we have some stuff but it's not colorful enough, it's like Southwest lite.)

Unfortunately, it seems Scenario fixes took priority over current major bugs in the game (likely due to scheduling conflicts as I imagine these scenarios were planned in advance).

Just really bad timing overall cause the current state of the game is a mess. Especially with the broken wants & fears system.

It's disappointing that we still don't have a fix for wants and fears. I had a feeling that one wasn't going to get fixed, so I'm not surprised. Where there's a will there's a mod to fix it.

I understand the frustration with some of these major issues still being present, but I don’t think many realize not everyone is having issues. Other than the random sims asking to be best friends with my sims and some issues with fears being a bit much my game is fine. I’m not saying that to say that’s the case for many or all players, but knowing I don’t have a lot of these major issues makes me wonder if the QA team doesn’t either. The odd backward save bug and aging bugs are probably proving hard to address, which seem to be the major making the game unplayable bugs. Hopefully they get fixed soon. I’m glad for a few of these fixes at least. Hope they tone down fears and neighborhood stories soon too lol.
