Whats Broke Now

Sadly, we the customers are the testers as they can certify that it is bug free on their systems and with different systems it is kind of hard to know who exactly will have problems with bugs. Another scenario some bugs activate after an certain routine in which many may not even get the bug until they do that routine. The problem with EA/Maxis is the time they take on reacting to bugs that are reported.

WTH are the teams going to do about this, and when is the main question. This is totally unacceptable, and there is no excuse for the game to be in such a fractured state. This goes way beyond a few little annoyances. Those bugs are all game breakers to a lot of players. And relying on the modding community for solutions isn't always the best way to go because of all the patches and updates we're forced to install every few weeks that usually decimates every mod in my mods folder. I am beyond livid and I didn't even install the latest patch! I have just one thing to add to my tirade: If you value your game don't buy that new GP. If the teams allowed this buggy patch to be released there is no way of knowing what they let slip through the cracks in order to get JtB released on time.

You know if it was done right in the first place there wouldn't be a need for all these mods.

Yep knitting is completely broken for me. My sim is either finishing the knitting interaction early with no option to continue it or she is finishing the item but it never appears in her inventory, I'm not sure which of these options is the issue.

I've tried taking out all my mods and cc to make sure nothing is conflicting and it still isn't working.

It was working fine before the last patch. Now I'm sad. I'm playing the Munch household and I wanted Mila to be a knitting enthusiast. :(

The Force is angry because the force was cut from the game play and our sims cannot use force powers. lol

Selvadorada is broken - it is broke broke BROKE.

My sim vacationing there, whenever you click the M key it crashes to the desktop.

Heavy sigh
heavy sigh indeed.

Repaired my game (which I should not have done, always check the bug reports before doing something that drastic) and still have the same problem.

SW seems to have fundamentally changed the way vacation worlds work. It should have been a standalone Sims game and not wedged into this game and caused so many problems and so much outrage.

It is clear to say that the game wasn't tested by the team when the patch was released :|

I've honestly wondered if Maxis actually has a QA team.

Maybe that's really what they mean when they say that they're "listening" - that in reality, we are the QA team :joy:

I mean you could be by signing up to become a playtester:

A game repair seems to have fixed my knitting problems. I guess that's one thing less that's broken. :D

What??? You have less bugs than us now??? I hate you. That's it. Give me your game lol.

Yesterday my Sims dog was dirty and she tried to bathe him and it continued forever. She never finished bathing the dog. I tried traveling to another lot and I even restarted my game, but my Sim just couldn't finish bathing the poor dog. I finally gave up and used the cheat to "make happy". I hate using cheats and I don't normally use them, but I didn't know how else would I have gotten the dog clean. :/

I have EL disabled because of so many bugs from it, did not update the latest patch abd playing offline till we get some real fixes. I thought my Sims drinking endlessly with the progress bar getting close to done but never stopping, was over, but its not. They still cant watch a movie unless its the Season Premiere holiday thing.

I know when they do their feeds they usually have just base game and that pack theyre showing enabled or installed, I believe, but a majority of people have all or at least several ( I have all but SW) packs and they need to seriously do a better job with this. I know they posted a message saying theyre aware, but that doesn't mean much tbh, because they've been aware of some things that have not worked right since they came out or g or years, and those are still having issues, like some active careers ( detective I believe).

I like playing my Sims and the things that are wrong with the game are in many ways making it not as enjoyable for most as it could be. They do need to put more money into having more people that are on top of fixing problems, but if they don't test it properly and start making this game work right when you have more than basegane plus whatever new pack it is, then it won't ever work right.
