What do you think of The Sims 4 right now?

I feel like I’m somewhere in between “It’s okay” and “Cowabunga” lol

I really don't think it's Cowabunga, but I like it more than okay.

Same. I'm not eager to throw my money at EA, but I do enjoy this game.

For me it is between It's okay. I have fun playing it + but only with mods. I would not be able to play the vanilla game without them for too long.

I also think it's okay and I'm having fun with it - but I'm playing an older version of the Sims 4. I think the game as it is now (with all the patches) has too many bugs and glitches, so ...

I like it but i can only play it with my dearest mods. I'ld like it better if it had less bugs and if features were more in depth, but in general i enjoy it. I play 3 too. Now that one is still my favourite.

It definitely has its problems and I am not really into the latest DLC, but I feel a lot more optimistic about the game than I have in the past. Specifically due to base game updates. I do not think anyone can seriously say the base game is worse now than at launch.

There are still plenty of ways I prefer some of the older titles, but 4 has its strengths, too, and I respect those. *shrug* At this point, I am willing to wait and see how the game eventually ends to see if I will go back to it like the others.

Same. I enjoy it a ton but I’m not uncritical of it lol.

I have loved TS4 since I got it years back. Has not changed.

I did enjoy it for quite a while and I know I could enjoy it again if they fixed some of it's bigger issues but right now it has to many bugs and broken systems and I'm no longer enjoying it.

My main issues are...

Whims are broken and haven't been updated in years. They don't stay locked and this is a big frustration for me as I rely on this system to guide me through my sims lives, they also aren't relevant to the sims as an individuals, all sims get the same whims.

The emotion system is completely broken and messy yet instead of fixing it they just keep making new content around it that adds to the mess.

Then there is the clear lack of testing with every new product they bring out, it feels like we are the testers and we're being charged for the privilege also.

Bugs left unfixed for years despite many people experiencing them.

The games autonomy is a complete mess, sims constantly drop actions that are given to them. They don't sit still, always with the musical chairs and other various issues, standing still, nodding heads in silence during conversations.

The games functionality is just in a very bad place in my opinion. I wish I could be like many of the players here and just work through all this and enjoy the game but I can't, it frustrates me to no end that the game is being so neglected and treated like this.
