Would you prefer new packs or game improvements?

I certainly won't say 'no' to free content, but I'm rather disappointed if we're really not getting a new EP for end of the year. The bugs don't bother me all that much.

The simulation is still as shallow as a puddle compared to 2 and 3 and there's a whole pile of annoying bugs that have built up over the years. They mostly aren't game breaking, but they should be fixed.

I would like new content more so than BG updates, but am okay with the kits and refreshes in the mean time.

I would like to see better whims, improved personalities, and more consequences for Sims' actions.

Fix the game, fix the game, FIX. THE. GAME.

There are much smaller devs with much smaller budgets with plenty-complex worlds (looks squarely at SCS Software and the Truck Simulator franchise) who balance this exceptionally well. No reason a company as big as EA can't do it and still make a dandy profit for their money-hungry shareholders.

I shouldn't have to pick. They should have a team working on fixes, team working on new content, team working on quick updates, stuff pack and game pack team etc.... This is EA not some Indie dev team that we need to be patient with. Just my opinion though...

Honestly this ^

Besides I don’t see them “fixing” core issues with the game. They’ve added a few new swatches and patched in content from dlc for free. This is cosmetic and not really addressing the huge bugs and problems people actually have with the game.

Not only do I prefer seeing updates, I'd think it ought to be something they do for one quarter every two years - look back and bring things together more.

This round of it, being something they've not done much of before, will take more than a single quarter to go through if properly done. But in future it should be a regular part of the schedule. And also something Sims 5 adopts when the time comes for that.

Priority 1 - fix the bloody game already! Entirely too much is glitchy or broken altogether, much of it for years.
Priority 2 - Periodic new meaningful content. There are a lot of things a lot of simmers have been asking for, often since launch. Surely at least some of them are doable.

Right now we seem to be getting neither, which suggests EA is weary of TS4 and is preparing to leave it - and us - behind in the dust.

If the updates were good then yes but a lot of the patches and updates we are getting are nothing amazing. The last decent one I think was bunk beds. Sentiments I think are rubbish and I don’t like the sound of the scenarios. I’d rather we have more packs even if it’s stuff and game packs. This year seems not that great in terms of dlc and basegame updates.

Ugh, go away. "Your" ideas are not original and have already been put forward by both simmers and Maxis. There was a matchmaker and zodiac signs in TS2 and we have dates and blind dates in TS4.
