With the game so bugged, where do you stand on new content?
What it says on the tin. Will/has your purchasing habits in regards to the Sims change/have changed with the increase in game bugs?

I know myself too well .... and I'll still buy something if it has new gameplay items that I think look fun, or if there's something that's totally unique or something I've been wanting.
But, I also never buy "sight unseen" .... I always wait to read other players experiences before I ever decide to update with a pre-pack patch.
Then after reading or watching bugged patch/pack reviews, I always evaluate if the issues other players are having with the patch/pack will be something I might run into too? If it's not a bug that I would typically experience because I don't play the same way (such as MWS, I never wanted it for the actual wedding gameplay ..... I only wanted the world so those game breaking bugs wouldn't have affected me because I don't do weddings), then I'll wait for mods to update before I buy.
If it's a bug that is happening basically universally with all simmers (such as the insanely obsessive phone usage, the inability to keep wants and fears shut off permanently, etc), then I will most definitely hold off updating/buying anything until some modder comes to the rescue and fixes the mess that EA gave us.
I could never, ever ..... not in a million years ever play TS4 without mods, I can handle playing without CC, but never without mods so I always wait to actually "play" the game even when I buy a pack I'm interested in and will just open my "test" save to go in and look at CAS/BB and that's about it until all my important mods are updated.
