I haven't updated in quite some time after hearing about all of the bugs that has happened this year. I frankly stopped playing because they keep introducing new gardening bugs. And they never fixed the trash bug after they released Eco Lifestyle. Frankly, I am more excited about the new Cities Skylines pack Promenades and Plazas. It will cost about $15 for the DLC, really expand the game. And CS has had very few bugs when they release a pack. They tend to fix them quickly. So. I think with TS4, that I will wait a few years for when they release TS5 on a new game engine.

As with TS3, once they start releasing a ton of packs it breaks the game. I've decided not to purchase every EP, like I did with TS2 & TS3, and yet the game is broken.

Best of luck to y'all

Woah, I didn't know about that - just found the trailer and it looks good.

Sadly, sims is getting left behind by me now... bugs, bugs and more bugs. Having to tell Origin every single time that no, I don't want to update and yes, I do want to play offline and avoiding the new content in order to avoid the bugs is putting me off playing at all. I never thought I'd see the day...

I updated the game, now it refuses to start. Well, it starts, but the main screen then goes blank white and a UIError.txt file is made.
No UI mods, and the error points to some "getactivescenariodata" that is apparently not a game function.

Can't back out of any update. My Game is dead in the water.

Only thing I can suggest is to move out the entire mods folder, delete cachetumb and see if you can start a brand ne save with less problems. I have no idea why, but I heard the game might run better if all "game-created" folders are created a new, meaning removing all your user data? Then if it works you can put back content by content but keeping the new folders. Just remember to backup first;)

Every single time there is a patch or new content, I create an entirely new Sims 4 folder. I just move my current folder to my desktop, do the update (or add content), do a game repair, then launch the game. I then move the items in my saves, mods, screenshots folders back into the new TS4 folder.

Knock on wood and cross my fingers but I've managed to avoid a huge majority of the bugs and issues by doing this. I also religiously monitor my mods and don't use any sort of CC.

I have been plagued with sims aging up way too soon. I've lost so many families that way.
Last night I made a new sims and today when I play her I notice this... (Only MCCC, UI-CE and a few minor scriptmods)

Is it just my game or imagination but ever since the update it seems that my sims are walking painfully slower than usual....or has it always been like this? I don't remember them taking so long before.

Has anyone updated? I've logged on and there's no update available on Origin.

It will drop soon on 10AM PST. 9 minutes to go, I guess

Yesterday I hyped up with the tweet about the bug fixes patch but it seems more reasonable to stay on ground :expressionless:

No update yet through Origin (old app) in the UK.

My eyes stopped at 'Pablo and Jennifer Martinez', did EA just bring back some forgotten Sims from Sims 3's household bin? Pretty random but also kinda cool.

Personally wondering if Curious sim is related to The Curious family
