With the game so bugged, where do you stand on new content?

I did enjoy playing Sims 4 but haven't played since the recent issues with the update and HSY. I was looking forward to wants and fears, but reading the forums I know I won't be happy with the way it was implemented. I don't want angry/sad people roaming in my game because they have fears, not meeting wants. I would probably try playing if the wants/fears stayed off when turned off. Hoping it is fixed soon as I want to return to my game. I am not planning on buying any new content until it is fixed as I can't see spending any money on something I won't be able to use, as I don't want to play until it is fixed. I see comments a lot about mods and how they help, but I have never used mods and don't want to start now. When I buy a game, it should be playable without needing mods! Eventually, when Sims 4 does end, I probably will try mods if the game still needs them, but not until then.
