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

Basically just copying and pasting this here:
I am officially done, until the bugs are fixed I will neither purchase nor download any further content from EA

Been here since March.

I'd rather play with a broken "outdated" game than play with a broken game full of bloatware. Meaning forced features I don't care about. Some with broken toggles that keep pushing the game into the opposite of "you rule."

My collection stops at Cottage Living (which my sister wanted to buy). MWS and the High School pack are packs I'd have bought in the beginning but not 8 years later for a broken game.

the bugs and most importantly the simulation lag is horrible... my FPS drops so bad it gets unplayable pretty fast. Everyone talk about that lag, gamechangers, even lilsimsie, random youtube sims players... i'm not sure why it's not fixed yet. Purchasing more content would mean an heavier game, and more lag

I've always only bought packs that contained content I particularly wanted. Now, I have an additional requirement that it has to be confirmed functional. I need to see people playing it without bugs.

I wanted to choose "Until the bugs are fixed, I will only consider purchasing new content if it's something I really want." but I already only purchase content that I really want, so it would be meaningless.

I can't say I won't ever buy or download anything else until the bugs are fixed. I'll download free stuff, I'll probably pick up the Jungle Adventures pack eventually and if they really, really, really wow me (like Werewolves-level wow) I might consider buying genuinely new content but not at launch... not until the new content has been proven stable and to live up to the hype. Right now I wouldn't get High School Years if EA paid me to do it and I would say I am extremely unlikely to purchase other new content.

I don't have many issues but now and then one pops up. Nothing game breaking though.

My game isn't a buggy mess and therefore the subject matter of this poll doesn't apply to me I guess?

Thus, I will continue to buy what I want to buy when I choose to buy it.

I did download the free kit, even though it didn't look interesting. I figured if I get back to playing and download lots from the gallery it might be annoying if I didn't have it.

Currently I'm on a hiatus and don't know when/if I'll play TS4 again. I'm tired of seeing incomplete stuff added to the game and waiting for fixes that might never come.

To be honest, I’m between the option I clicked and the second one, but critical bugs are always fixed pretty fast (aging one or post-Snowy Escape crushing issue). So it’s not like game is being left unplayable. I know some players claim it is unplayable right now. It is not for me. I’m currently on PS5 so obviously no mods and cc included. I saw comments saying that many issues comes from using third parties add ons, I will not say anything about it as I simply don’t know. But since I purchased the Sims 4 back then on PS4 in 2018 I had literally no issues that prevented me from playing the game or made me rage quit. Was I annoyed by some bugs? Sure I was, but nothing that could make me leave the game. So I would say that I keep an eye on bug fixes but they are not game breaking for me and I’m enjoying game as it is and will purchase next dlc, unless it’s something that I despise like living in the countryside (that’s why I didn’t buy Cottage Living).

I will purchase the content, I decided a long time ago that I was going to finally have a complete set of a sims game, and 4 is it. However, I usually wait a couple of days after a patch comes out to see if there were any big game breaking problems ( like the aging bug recently ), I do the same with the packs. I check the forums to see what people say was wrong with a patch or a pack. Besides, I actually have had very few bugs that are game breaking, that have not been fixed fairly soon, and I don’t use mods or CC, and I own all the packs. I have been quite annoyed with the dirt pile bug in gardening that they can’t seem to be able to fix. But, that is probably the worst bug I have had that hasn’t been fixed.
