What should EA fix in Sims 4 first?

The question is somewhat unclear to me, pack integration is importent to me! But what they should fix as son as possible is the aging problem and that needs problem that I read about today

Base-game issues, then. :)

Obviously, the bugs need to be fixed first, but if we're talking about after that, then they need to move away from the parasitic design that they've been cranking out for years and instead make sure that the game works holistically. A tiny thing that drives me nuts...I have Bust the Dust (yes I like mundane things like vacuums), and for whatever reason, the maid who comes to my house doesn't use a vacuum. They clean the toilet, they pick up books and plates, but vacuums? Nah. Why? Because the kit wasn't built to interact with the Base Game...or anything else.

Just have someone sit down and figure out how a new pack or kit would impact other packs or kits. Heck, if they want, I'll do it. I'll make flow charts and everything. Just buy me coffee and give me an air conditioned room to sit in.

Definitely agree with this, what kind of maid service doesn't come equipped with their own vacuum cleaner? Anyway, restaurants in my game are really bugged lately, it's not just the chefs that wait on the sidewalk, but now the customers don't sit at their tables to eat their meals, they grab them form the table and eat them standing up, even my owned played sim does that.

All of the above?

Overall pack integration is definitely needed, but generally if there are too many bugs to play some packs, what use is integration? Set a team on fixing base game issues, adding more gameplay and integrating packs with base game features such as wants/fears. At the same time, set other teams on updating/refreshing and fixing the various packs. Each team could probably handle one EP, one GP and one SP. Start with the ones with most problems and work your way down. Integration could be worked with as a part of that.

The whole thing needs to be fixed at one time and not just one area.

I don't think this could be looked at so simply because the bugs don't contain themselves either :sweat_smile:

I think they need to search for the root causes to bugs where problem isn't say "werewolves using umbrellas" or " swimming sims using umbrellas"

but it is "sims reaching for umbrellas autonomously and even when they do not own one"

if you just fix the werewolves using umbrellas part then the umbrellas continue to be glitchy in other situations and future situations

this is only the most obvious example but i am sure there is many we can't even track but are just caused by something silly that is not well thought out

its just don't fix issue that is caused by bigger issue just fix the bigger issue the smaller issue will be gone

also obviously at the moment i am definitely wanting that fame and aging bug gone since its making me unable to play my main save

The lack of integration is highly annoying. And the gardening bug. That's really the only issues I have in my game lol.

Pack integration needs to happen they need to stop ignoring older packs as if they don't exist. Features like ocean swimming should be in all worlds Granite Falls not having a swimmable lake is a crime, wants and fears should include all packs because many packs have traits and things Sims would want and fear.

Fix the base game first; then concentrate on everything else.

I can't turn off fears and wants or fame- no matter what I do, my Sim ends up with them. New pet peeve...

The Base Game has some major jank. They need to get rid of the autonomous water drinking, they need to get rid of autonomous "Check Toddler" (or at least get the thing tuned so it never springs when autonomy is off...because, have I mentioned, "Check Toddler" still triggers autonomously when autonomy is off...?), they need to fix that bug that causes sim character models to freak out when playing with a Toddler (yeah, that's still a thing), they need to fix a lot of stuff.

Also, after the Base Game, they need to fix "Dine Out" (which has never worked right), and go down the line of DLC, most broken to least broken...and for the love of Diana, fix the female werewolf body issue! The people who want gender-neutral werewolf forms for their werewolves can un-link their sims' human and beast forms to achieve the look they want on female werewolves if they don't want curves or breasts, but those of us who actually want female werewolves to keep a feminine body shape shouldn't have to go to the trouble of modding our game to have a basic customization feature that should have been part of it all along. If I can suck it up and narrow the hips and broaden the waist of a male sim that I've given a feminine frame to for the express purpose of giving him softer facial features and longer lashes, people who don't like breasts or curves on female werewolves can click the unlink button to narrow hips, broaden waists, and flatten chests to their liking as well...But I digress.

Yeah, this game needs some work done.
