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

The bugs don't bother me. In fact, with my current set-up in my save, bugs are common and very expected, simulation lag very common, and something I have to live with. That's the choice I made when I decided to slap mods all over it. However, some new features kinda suck but something like fears are just the result of badly tuned files and a simple parameter adjustment takes care of the issue.

Most bugs I see are easy to fix. Reload or debug (the latter via testingcheats on). I often wonder if some bugs that people see, ones that even ruin their game, are due to not updating their graphics card drivers? or even not having a powerful gaming PC?

The thing is, we shouldn't need to "Reset Object" or "turn this off and then on" at this frequency to begin with. It shouldn't be up to the players to fix bugs and avoid the potential landmines. The game should be shipped in a state where that's the last resort scenario, not a regular occurrence.

By the way, the bugs that occur are usually not the computer's fault (it could be, but with bugs reporting on a wider scale that doesn't necessarily mean it). Sims 3 runs a lot worse on my rig than Sims 4, and that game is an older game; in fact, because Sims 3 is designed for 32 bit computers in mind, it's more prone to problems on modern computers because of that limitation more than anything.

I will only consider getting furniture and clothing packs. I'd really love it for them to just focus on bug fixes and enhancing what we have already. Nothing huge, just adding color swatches to things, little options like painting ceilings, etc etc. Even re-organizing the catalogue, some stuff just makes absolutely no sense.

It's these little things that go a long way for me at this point.
Although ngl if they release a pack with Fairies I'd play that through any bugs.. ?

I used to believe that if I really wanted a pack I would buy it regardless of the bugs. After High School years and Wedding Stories, my game got so frustrating to play. Even if the game was just optimized instead of new content I would regain faith in Maxis. I would consider a new kit if it was primarily a build mode update, for example adding more terrain tools, waterfall functionality in addition to ponds, terrain paints, and the ability to use terrain paints on mountains...

I want the game to be fixed so much more than new content.

I don't if this is a bug but my Sims are disappearing from the household like they appear in the family tree but they just disappeared can't find them any where is this happening to any one else?

Enough already! This game was a buggy swamp way back in the beginning and it has only gotten worse. Many serious bugs have been around for years, and nothing has been done. I have negative faith in EA. How could it be otherwise when they deliberately launch packs so broken as to be unplayable or nearly so (looking at you, MWS & HSY)?

I am not buying a thing until they fix the broken wants and fears switch. I have not played in months because it is so annoying and ruins the game for me. I did not even get to fully enjoy the pack I bought before that update so I am not about to spend even more money on content I cannot enjoy yet.

My sims are on hold because the bugs are too disruptive.
There is no point in buying new packs if I have no desire to play the game because of bugs.
