Issue
The save game starts to disintegrate itself. Lots start to get deleted, causing endless loading, loading into empty lots.
This issue has been around since the very beginning so it’s not tie...
Ideas
[Rant: My game is now unplayable after spending about $2,000 on all of the expansion packs and kits. This is unacceptable. I have ZERO mods and ZERO custom content running, and I've installed every single pack and kit available. I've also run the repair tool multiple times. EA needs to stop putting the blame off on their customers and actually fix the product people are complaining about. These packs and updates should never be released before thorough testing. Any testing at all would have revealed these bugs immediately. If this continues, I will never buy another EA product again.]
The only lot that seems to remain as I made it is for the sim I'm actively playing. All other lots either revert back to the default, or they have blank lots. I've had weird llama icons blocking a portion of the map in Tartosa. Planet Honey Pop! disappeared and turned into a residential lot with a giant pit in it. Since I hated the building anyway, I rebuilt it and then it wouldn't properly create a floor even after flattening the lot (seems like there was leftover code from the platforms doing something funky). Then the sims wouldn't go into the building (for no obvious reason, and in a later load they were fine with it).
I had over 20 households in my previous game save and had to abandon it when all the houses I built for them (in every neighbourhood) disappeared. I spent months on that game save, and it was all for nothing.
I've been told it's got nothing to do with the Royalty & Legacy Pack, but that's been so buggy, I don't know what to believe. If it's the update, what did they update that would cause lots in every single neighbourhood to disappear?
When I opened a new game save and started fresh, I removed all default houses. [I wish the company would stop trying to make buildings, as the houses are awful/ugly and unusable anyway, with illogical floor plans (they're only made to look a certain way outside, which is the wrong way to design buildings).]
I am running this game on an ASUS Strix Scar 18 that cost five grand. It is one of the best gaming laptops out there. The fault does not lie with my PC. The fault lies with releasing packs and updates before they're ready. Fix the errors that are already there before chasing another cash-grabbing expansion pack. If you can't make the game work as it is, more pathways to error shouldn't be created. It's nonsensical to further complicate something that's already a tangled mess.
I am sorry this is happening to you. I can't download my builds from the gallery. It says no blueprint. What the heck is that! Some of them are fairly new and took me hours to make. I think it's ridiculous that we spend our hard earn money on these packs and it just just doesn't work anymore.
Exactly. Even worse is the fact that they expect US to do the debugging for them. We're not being paid for that work. They're getting paid to do it, and they're still not doing it. We're paying for a finished product...not something partially done. It's false advertising and fraud as far as I'm concerned. Especially since you can't ask for your money back when they're the ones who break the game. What am I supposed to do with this game now that I can't play it? It's not like they've replaced it with a new version and they're trying to shunt people to the new product and they've simply stopped supporting the old game. No, they're actively releasing brand new content that simply doesn't work and breaks what was working before. If they want to return all the money I've spent on the entire game, I'll stop complaining, but until then I want a working game I've paid a LOT of money for.
