This one is what made the game unplayable for me. Funny how the hivemind over at the official forums/subreddit still claims TS3 is buggier than TS4 to justify their dlc purchases.

This is very true, they’re hugely inflating the numbers to flex to the press and appease their shareholders.

Thanks for your insight, I’d like to point out though that multiple people have expressed confusion regarding your posts and whether you’re a paid EA shill, so perhaps work on your clarity and stance.

“considering lyndsey said that there are more players playing now than ever”

They gave away the game for free AND everyone with Origin Access can also play the game without buying it. Don’t let Lindsay and the Gurus fool you. A lot of The Sims 4 players never paid a dime for it and they’re still counted as players.

I’m only commenting on what can be seen from the outside, or determined by analysis and reversal of the product – the Gurus and ‘mod teams’ don’t even know the core of their own engine, unless you’re telling me that they’re just compulsive liars. But, it’s possible that they’re only pretending to believe that tuning and slot management are hard work, to distract us, while preparing to unveil a huge pack with new and exciting functionality. That’s surely what they’re doing.

Weren’t you the one saying that people should make false assertions that might “deter” an audience? Saying that we don’t know what goes on in their office so it’s none of our business?

That’s why there are a team of professionals hired to find the errors. There are play testers and professional coders for a reason. Yeah it’s hard, but so is it everything else in life.

Imagine if mechanics gave up on fixing cars because it might be too hard or take too long.

This usually occurs after sims have autonomously placed an object at an un-routable location. You’ll need to cleanup your entire lot. If you don’t want to bulldoze, then check shelves and small spaces between walls for plates with rotten food. Invalid washer/dryer states will cause the laundry problem (can occur after updates, or installation of expansions), so delete and replace the laundry appliances, then verify that your sims can reach them autonomously.

I’m analyzing objectively, and countering abuse which has caused loss of interest in products and industries. I’m arguing in opposition with regard to bugs and complexity, because I see that the devs wish to convince us that they’ve spent five years on features which could have been written and debugged by one man within the timeframe, and now I’m seeing that their Gurus, Game Changers, and ‘mod teams’ don’t even know the basics of the engine. There’s no hope for bug fixes.

23. Sims go to sleep but instantly gets up standing next to his/her bed while her status says she is sleeping but her energy doesn’t regenerates.
24. tha time flow slower when you use superspeed resulting your sim eating his dinner for 3 hour…
25. your sims can’t get to close to the toilet/fridge/whatever despite there is nothing in her way and piss herself/dies from starvation
26. your sim just “forget” to do what you ordered him. Or stands for an hour for do nothing befor he starts to do anything.
