What's up with everything breaking?

Yep. In one sim day, four things broke. And the next day, two things did.

It's not a glitch, you just need to buy better quality items.

low reliability on the item probly, think it is reliability, but it is good if you fix it yourself, gets you plenty of upgrade parts and repair skill.

Graham actually agreed that things break fast. this might get fixed in a patch i believe. it was simgurugrant who said this

It always used to break, especially when you were starting on the Handiness skill track. But now there's no repairman to fix it. Such an annoying omission!

As it appears, I have had not only a fire, but the sink and toilet breaking........the sink in the kitchen too........and just recently the stereo I bought them. Maybe its a way to get their handiness level to expert? LOL

Even low quality items shouldn't be breaking everyday.

I notice my clumsy sim tends to break things more often, could be in the traits too..

My stuff seems to break at the expected level for their quality. I get breaks, but they're not overwhelming or anything. (Although I did have one day where the Toilet AND the Shower broke, and the only Sim in the house with Handiness happened to be pregnant, and trying to use the bathroom! That wasn't fun... lol )

My sim just keeps breaking the toilet lol So far everything else is still functioning.
