Unfortunately, because so many simmers still buy packs...why would EA change what they are doing? I play console and it's a hot mess. I switched over to pc but ALL my money and packs are on console and I can't move them over. It will be a cold day in hell before I re-buy any packs. In fact I stopped buying packs in protest. I am hoping for the day that the ENTIRE sims community come together and stop buying packs...maybe then EA will act.
It's BS to me that EA somehow can't allow you to transfer packs from console to PC. You have an account. Your packs are tied to the account. You can access that account on console *and* PC. Ergo, yo should have access to your packs- the ones tied to your account -on both console *and* PC. Another example of EA's unending greed.
Don't forget that a "celebrity" reached out to EA regarding this literal issue and EA replied with the solution of transferring their packs for them... Not even lying! Yet the average person has to buy all the packs again.... It's BS. I'm serious, look into it! EA is such a loser company.
Facts! I don’t know what they think this is, the moment I got on PC I realized I had to pay for the packs, I had to find a workaround because there’s no way they gunna try me like that.
You can tell things have changed. Just pre Cottage Living if I brought up the condition of the game I'd get "You're being mean to EA" "You're ungrateful!😡" and now not even a peep
I still get those comments. I was called toxic a few days ago for saying I'm not going to thank EA for releasing a fix when they shouldn't be releasing broken trash in the first place 😂😂😂
Cause you were right from the beginning and these people defended EA pointlessly and brainlessly . You’re smarter than them, just be happy about that I guess haha
💯 Sim Guru's are responsible, they work on the game. On the last livestream they made they were laughing about bugs that were popping up in the stream!! The same bugs that were released to the public for £40!
Former tester(EABR) they made us train our replacements and closed our studio, 300 people kicked out. I been playing the sims since I was a kid, but I hope yall really vocalize how upset you are so EA can hear you.
@@SinNeighbor they told us to not come to the site and get in a zoom meeting, the meeting was 5 minutes, telling us they were closing the studio down, it was 18/hr plus benefits, people worked there and was able to build families, and live without worrying. They had us train people in the UK and India, and 2 months later called us redundant. Please guys, EA has earned a lawsuit from all of us.
Wish I could just be refunded for the game and all the packs I have. The game is dookie, with some sprinkles of glitter here and there. But that doesn't change the fact that it's dookie.
Seriously. I want a refund for everything. Because everything is broken at this point. I want my money back and EA can keep TS4 for themselves. I don't even play this game or buy anything for it anymore because it's so busted. I can't stand EA.
@g.e131 Me too, I stopped purchasing packs I think after the university expansion. That's when my hope died for any substantial, worthwhile gameplay. I just want more within the community to stop giving EA their money. After almost a decade in the making, dozens of crappy packs, and problems with the base game, how can anyone have any hope left? The community isn't faultless, but What an abusive relationship EA has with its customers.
I wish that too. I've stopped giving Andrew Wilson my money because he didn't deserves it. Why? This game could do so much better but he pushing it so hard down with quality. And now I'm going to do the same with my money. I haven't bought anything to do with Sims 4 for a while. I just watch the whole drama yet, but the "best" thing are the people who defend and justify EA's behavior. I can't stand this criminal injustice anymore.
@brony_in_the_sticks Of course they don't. It's a one-sided game. They offer something, we have to pay for it and if something is wrong, then you're out of luck. But that's not how it works and that's why I hope that someone or even several people will go to court and show that we've had enough of this exploiting behavior. They know it and yet they continue to do it. It's fraud.
I would honestly stop playing the game all together until they get their stuff together. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if an action lawsuit comes into play. Mr. Ceo isn't going to say anything until everyone stops playing the game and follow up with lawsuit since they've promised stuff in the past and have not delivered.
I have played since for rent for this exact reason I’m doing supporting a game that’s broken beyond repair. I just play the sims 3 instead with mods. There’s more to do anyway.
Congrats yin! Welcome to the world little one! ❤🎉 Also, I believe that they don't run into a lot of bugs because they usually only test base game and the new pack. Thats why theres hardly any cross pack compatability. Thats also why they tell us to play with only a few packs at a time, and not all of them.
I feel like the youtubers should speak up. Plumella, James and Deli, and especially LilSimsie, they act like everything’s fine whereas they should, imho, be the voice of the people. They are the biggest marketing EA has, and it’s (or at least they claim it to be) free, they don’t get paid. These people inspire us to play this game and now they’re just acting like everything is alright
Thank you for keeping it real in your videos. I wouldn’t know that all of this foolishness was going on with ea if it wasn’t for you. I miss the Maxis days. We didn’t have any issues back then. Anyway, congratulations on the baby 🎉
CEO's job is to make profit, not a good product. If they can sell a bad product for high prices, they'll do it in a heartbeat. EA needs to go from a private company to a worker cooperative where gamers themselves OWN the company. I bet these creeps don't even PLAY the games on their platform.
I got a promotional banner about My First Pet Stuff, saying, “Do you remember us?” I literally was wtf…. I unfortunately already got that. Why am I being pushed this
Yin, I am afraid to play my game and lose everything. I don't have Lovestruck and experiencing glitches and problems. EA needs to stop adding dl and fix our game. The last pack purchased was Growing Together, and I am unsure about purchasing any other packs/kits!!
Now I know why they made the sims 4 free and honestly they should also refund anyone who bought the lovestruck pack bc that's just selling a broken product.
I couldn’t save my game at all and the only way it fix it was to uninstall the game and master reset my computer I was pissed. Took me three days to fix it and get my saves back. I have spent $1500 on this game and it’s always breaking
SimYin, I love your channel, and thank you for always keeping it real. 💯 I don't even own the packed. I have to update my game every other day. I hope it doesn't break my game when I don't even own the d*** thing. That's why I waited because I knew it was gonna be messy. I noticed that the patch talks about how it broke the other packs. This is getting ridiculous, E. A. Does not care. I'm doing my own personal protest and stop buying packs until they fix their game.
I’ve been so done with this game for a long time now, I can’t even remember the last time I downloaded this game or bought a pack from them. Until they fix everything and I mean everything wrong with this game they won’t see a dollar from me and that’s sad because I’ve waisted so much money on this sorry excuse of a game. This is why I only play the older sims because they may be old but they got a lot less problems
thank fuck I managed to get the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection back when they were handing it out. I haven’t played the Sims 4 in over a year because not only is it bugged to hell and back, it's just not that engaging after a while. If I want to play the sims these days I boot up TS2, which works pretty damn well with a couple community made patches and fixes
I think the gurus r getting fed up with not getting answers that they can send to us. If the gurus can't get info they can't post and EA loves leaving their player base in the dark until its something they can make money from. I wouldn't b surprised if some of the gurus left bc they got so frustrated with not being able to provide answers for the community. If this lawsuit gets moving and becomes something serious idk if it will even make a difference. Ik it's a negative thought to have but tbh the sims 4 is so broken I legitimately don't think they can even truly fix it bc some of these bugs have been left for so long. I think the game itself needs an overhaul kind of like a car needs a whole new engine at some point. The core is so saturated with new code on top of old it's degrading and just can't hold all the new pieces together. Idk tho I have no idea how coding or game development works all ik is this game is falling apart at the seams and all the patchwork can't even hold it together
Why the hell don't EA do adequate quality control? I'm sick of blocked lots, unreadable tomes and sims stalling in the middle of the game. even though there's a sale I'm not buying any new packs because I can't play the game as it is.
In my Sims game, I can't go into CAS through gameplay unless I use the full edit cheat mode. If I try to go through by 'plan outfit' or other interactions I get sent to a forever loading screen. Or moving lots. Or traveling. Then there's a bug that's affecting my knitting pack, I can start a new project, but unless I finish it in one sitting, I won't be able to resume the project later. No blocked path, the action won't be queued or anything.
@@everythingashleymariethank you for clarifying. I think the way your comment is phrased would have a lot of people assume you’re being sarcastic. I mean, I did at least😅
@@sugasweet435 lol. Definitely didn’t mean it in a sarcastic way. I literally meant that other ea games literally don’t have issues like this. It’s only like this for the sims. 😂. At least you understood it. 😂
the sims are clearly coming with sims packs that are KIND if things simmers as for ( rentals, more romance stuff, horses) in the hopes that the excitment for this highly requested stuff will convince simmers to buy the packs despite it most likely broken. the amount of people ive seen who would buy a pack bc of that one thing they wanted so badly despite knowing that i will be broken AF..... it works, like it would suprise me if this WAS NOT the way the current proces of deciding on what packs to make was. like it wouldnt suprise me if we got the cars spack, which only has cars, but the cars are so broken that they turn into sim that run away instead of a car that drives when you use one. (it comes with one world where cars are useable , but for all the other worlds its just a waste) or the preteen pack, but the preteens act like the wrong age group, or even pet or occult, with weird facial and body morphinmg like we got with growing together. the vaction pack, but the hotels that come with it are somehow more broken than the hotels in the sims 3. (you think they would take lessons would be learned but it seems they are in an compentition to see how bad they can do ) etc etc etc.
The only thing I have suffered so far is the broken glasses, but tbh I have been more on cas and build mode than actually playing. edit: nvm I also experienced the roof glitch
It just seemsike EA/Sims team doesn't even CARE about their fans nor do they LISTEN to us. They just keep on puting out MORE packs and BROKEN packs at that. Then they HAVE to send OUT patch fixes that either MAY or MAY NOT FIX the game as well as the packs the game is HOT mess as is. N' NOW we are soon getting ANOTHER patch FIX to HOPEFULLY FIX this game and packs YET AGAIN. And WE as the players HAVE ONLY to HOPE it WORKS. This is just to CRAZY. I am NOT buying the NEW pack until it gets FIXED and FIXED RITE this time. Akso going to WAIT until it goes on SALE. 👍✌
People can do whatever they please with their own money, but I do sort of wish people would quick buying new content for a while. EA won't care about quality control until they lose money.
We already got more emergency patches since the release of Lovestruck than for the last 3 packs combined... And it's just a beginning. Before Lovestruck, they where at the bottom of a deep ditch, and they are going down hill fast since.
P.S. I honestly do not blame the Guru's. This is an upper management problem. I truly believe they've had enough of lying for EA. And just don't have anything else to say and threw their hands up. Just my personal opinion.
I do not think the rebrand made things worse. The people that handle for example the merch, are a completely different part of the company than the programers and game testers. I think the problems came from a work philosophy they've had since the begining. "Don't focus too much on fixing the base; just add to it." They will fix some stuff; like adding toddlers after release, but not more than the top deamed neccessary. Dine out have been broken for years but they never fixed it, they just went on to the next pack. "Don't focus too much on fixing the base; just add to it." Them never letting go of this philosophy, combined with how long this game has lasted - this mess was almost inevitable.
My game keeps freezing and the screen turns mostly black with just the top bar visible but unclickable. When this happens I have to turn my computer off it won’t even force close. Idk what they are doing but they aren’t doing it right
I'm so pissed, I'm not sure wether it's the fact I've installed crystal creations or new updates, but my game freezes, I'm getting stuck in endless loading screens and game is completely unplayable 😢 no idea what to do, it's so exhausting, I'm done with buying any new packs now .....
"Simmers have eagerly asked for more" What have we asked for? Fairies and hotels. But the number one thing: FIX THE GAME!!! This sentence just makes me mad seeing it again. I am thinking if someone at EA wants to say that they don’t have what it takes to please us. If that is true, I would say: You are a billion dollar company who only care about money. Pleasing investors and shareholders. They say that simulation lag would be downgraded, but I have experienced more.
Ok im not trying to white knight for EA actually quite the opposite, i think this whole issue is theur falut due to poor management of their game, but as a comunity we should have expected this big patch to cause a whole bunch of problems. Just in game dev in general, large bug fixe patches usually cayse just as many if not more problems as they solve. It's just gow it goes unfortunately. It will probably take saveral large patches fallowed by several hot fixes before they are able to really make any difference in how smooth the game runs meaning probably about another year minimum of game breaking updates for us. Theres no way around it unfortunately. And it doesn't matter how skilled this new bug fix team is, the game is so broken that this is going to take a while. Like i said though, im not excusing EA in anyway. This is vecause theyve chosen to neglect the bugs in thos game for so long and let them build up so much. If they had stayed on top of things instead of only focusing on kits and packs that add more issues with the game, then this wouldn't be as big of a problem as it is now. We may still have bugs, but not to the degree we have them to right now. What u strongly recommend, is to turn off auto updates and play in offline mode. You will need to signe in every niw and then to the EA app and it will say the sims 4 requires an update, bit if you go back into ofline mode after you signe in, you will be able to play again. Its probably best to play this way going forward untill a patch comes out that actually fixes more than it breaks.
I had an 123 error code yesterday moving from the down town area of the love struck pack to the Britechester commons.. it would not load up into commons.. do I use mods, yes, but we all know the 123 error code is not a mods issue..
Congrats on the little one. I feel like the base source code can’t handle all the packs and kits and everything thrown on it . Sim gurus are responsible to a certain extent imo
The question you have to ask yourself as a consumer of an entertainment product is how do you interact with the publisher? They want to make a profit. It’s obvious they’re putting out games that are not completely tested. It’s obvious to me that since the inception of Sims, four the teams have changed so much that the code is probably a mess I do agree that their advertising of packs has been misleading. I do like the idea of Sims four and I do have some fun with it when it works. I appreciate them working to fix it. Although their trustworthiness of completing the project seems to be negligible, I also believe that seeing more fixes gives me heart rather than disappointment. I would be happy to have a subscription fee that fixes the base game within about three months to be completely solid. Forward that expansion packs do not build them already broken pieces. I still have pieces of the game that don’t work that were Bass game. I can’t get my Sim to complete composing a song to sell
Not my idea but if EA/Maxis has not improved the functionality of the game before the film finishes post', I am joining the boycott. It would not take nearly as much of the 'Sims fan base making a public stink to impact the film.
EA needs to be boycotted. Especially after what they did with Apex Legends and now The Sims. I bought Lovestruck but after this sh** show of fixes that break the game I think I’ll consider not buying anymore packs until they fix this mess of a game. EA you have to put effort In to these fixes not halfa** It and call It a day I payed $40 dollars and can’t even play the game I spent money on like seriously… EA do better hopefully more people follow suit and Boycott The game so EA has to do something. 😡😡😡
I say this all the time....EA will not fix anything while you people keep giving them MONEY lol😅why would they fix these terrible things happening with the game all you people keep buying everything they produce SMH🤦🏽♂️
2024 is the year of everything going full trash fire and burning down. hopfuly for the better. but lets me honest its all the DEI hires at EA is way Sims 4 is in the state its in.,
Once again, they release a pack with main features broken. when patches cause more harm than good...the base game is broken! Take a freaking year off and fix the game.
Simgurus are employees. They have NDAs, contracts and the game industry is in financial dire straits rn. I do NOT hold the developers responsible for the stupid decisions the executives make. They are overworked, underpaid for their work and burnt out. Look at who all has left unannounced! A lot of them were fired then hired back at lower pay rates when EA realized they messed up so hard. Nah this is entirely on Andrew "please stop coating your face in dermablend you don't look human anymore" wilson Tech as a whole is having a really slow come to jesus moment. Stop playing the game. They use those stats to hold shareholders' gaze. Don't feed them your data. If enough people stop they'll start sweating and maybe actually finish that damn fix roadmap. Anyway can't wait for InZOI and Paralives I'm over this damn franchise so much. It's not as fun.
Like I said in your last video y’all need to stop paying for their packs then they’ll care but y’all are complaining but still doing the same stupid stuff
I applaud EA for putting out a lot more fixes. It does say that they’re trying to fix the game. There is some effort happening. I do not appreciate a $40 non-expansion. I haven’t bought since for rent because the stability of the game has not been there. In the recent survey, I answered that I would not buy until the game. I felt stable I I appreciate the fixes and I think people need to calm down about seeing so many fixes and also that you’re playing an entertainment game not a critical infrastructure system. Give EA some slack but realize that nothing gets fixed instantly it’s obvious that the base game of the Sims four has had a lot of handled updates I’m sure the code is a mess
I bet after EA drop Lovestruck and the game update, they wrapped everything up and congratulated each other. Then got the call a few hours later about the game bugs. They started looking through their files and was like, “Goddamned, we keep sending out the rough draft!”. 🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately, because so many simmers still buy packs...why would EA change what they are doing?
I play console and it's a hot mess. I switched over to pc but ALL my money and packs are on console and I can't move them over. It will be a cold day in hell before I re-buy any packs. In fact I stopped buying packs in protest.
I am hoping for the day that the ENTIRE sims community come together and stop buying packs...maybe then EA will act.

@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826ikr, it should be a process like linking Epic or Steam to EA to move console packs over
Facts! I don’t know what they think this is, the moment I got on PC I realized I had to pay for the packs, I had to find a workaround because there’s no way they gunna try me like that.

I agree. People really need to speak up and if they won't, talk to the higher ups in charge.

Awe:) Congratulations on your having your baby. There's no need to apologize about the cute baby sounds:)
In my Sims game, I can't go into CAS through gameplay unless I use the full edit cheat mode. If I try to go through by 'plan outfit' or other interactions I get sent to a forever loading screen. Or moving lots. Or traveling.
Then there's a bug that's affecting my knitting pack, I can start a new project, but unless I finish it in one sitting, I won't be able to resume the project later. No blocked path, the action won't be queued or anything.
If it wasn’t for the mods, I would have stopped at cottage living.
I haven’t played the sims since the last update, just going to wait for the chaos to end
The only time the Sim Gurus speak up is when they want a victory lap, but when things aren't going their way, they silent.
Pathetic.
Yes because no other EA game has issues like this.
Who said they didn't? We just happen to be talking about a specific game from EA.
@@hauntedshadowslegacy2826 seeing how I sometimes play other ea games, I’ve never experienced anything like what i experienced playing the sims.
@@everythingashleymariethank you for clarifying. I think the way your comment is phrased would have a lot of people assume you’re being sarcastic. I mean, I did at least😅
@@sugasweet435 lol. Definitely didn’t mean it in a sarcastic way. I literally meant that other ea games literally don’t have issues like this. It’s only like this for the sims. 😂. At least you understood it. 😂
Y'all know the updates are gonna break the game and still buy the packs as soon as they drop anyway. That's why they don't really fix everything.
Congratulations 💕💕
the sims are clearly coming with sims packs that are KIND if things simmers as for ( rentals, more romance stuff, horses) in the hopes that the excitment for this highly requested stuff will convince simmers to buy the packs despite it most likely broken. the amount of people ive seen who would buy a pack bc of that one thing they wanted so badly despite knowing that i will be broken AF..... it works, like it would suprise me if this WAS NOT the way the current proces of deciding on what packs to make was.
like it wouldnt suprise me if we got the cars spack, which only has cars, but the cars are so broken that they turn into sim that run away instead of a car that drives when you use one. (it comes with one world where cars are useable , but for all the other worlds its just a waste) or the preteen pack, but the preteens act like the wrong age group, or even pet or occult, with weird facial and body morphinmg like we got with growing together. the vaction pack, but the hotels that come with it are somehow more broken than the hotels in the sims 3. (you think they would take lessons would be learned but it seems they are in an compentition to see how bad they can do ) etc etc etc.
The only thing I have suffered so far is the broken glasses, but tbh I have been more on cas and build mode than actually playing.
edit: nvm I also experienced the roof glitch
It just seemsike EA/Sims team doesn't even CARE about their fans nor do they LISTEN to us. They just keep on puting out MORE packs and BROKEN packs at that. Then they HAVE to send OUT patch fixes that either MAY or MAY NOT FIX the game as well as the packs the game is HOT mess as is. N' NOW we are soon getting ANOTHER patch FIX to HOPEFULLY FIX this game and packs YET AGAIN. And WE as the players HAVE ONLY to HOPE it WORKS. This is just to CRAZY. I am NOT buying the NEW pack until it gets FIXED and FIXED RITE this time. Akso going to WAIT until it goes on SALE. 👍✌
People can do whatever they please with their own money, but I do sort of wish people would quick buying new content for a while. EA won't care about quality control until they lose money.
We already got more emergency patches since the release of Lovestruck than for the last 3 packs combined... And it's just a beginning.
Before Lovestruck, they where at the bottom of a deep ditch, and they are going down hill fast since.
P.S. I honestly do not blame the Guru's. This is an upper management problem. I truly believe they've had enough of lying for EA. And just don't have anything else to say and threw their hands up. Just my personal opinion.
You’re totally right. They’re focusing on other things.
I do not think the rebrand made things worse. The people that handle for example the merch, are a completely different part of the company than the programers and game testers. I think the problems came from a work philosophy they've had since the begining. "Don't focus too much on fixing the base; just add to it." They will fix some stuff; like adding toddlers after release, but not more than the top deamed neccessary. Dine out have been broken for years but they never fixed it, they just went on to the next pack. "Don't focus too much on fixing the base; just add to it." Them never letting go of this philosophy, combined with how long this game has lasted - this mess was almost inevitable.
More or less it's been a whole month and I still can't play lmao that's ridiculous
My game keeps freezing and the screen turns mostly black with just the top bar visible but unclickable. When this happens I have to turn my computer off it won’t even force close.
Idk what they are doing but they aren’t doing it right
I just wanna play my game on my new Mac on the EA App. 😩
Lovestruck brought mad problems
I'm so pissed, I'm not sure wether it's the fact I've installed crystal creations or new updates, but my game freezes, I'm getting stuck in endless loading screens and game is completely unplayable 😢 no idea what to do, it's so exhausting, I'm done with buying any new packs now .....
While I'm thinking about it, for all of us who play TS4 on whatever platform it may be, head to the ratings and give it a 1 star. Seriously.
Can't play the stupid game AGAIN
"Simmers have eagerly asked for more" What have we asked for? Fairies and hotels. But the number one thing: FIX THE GAME!!! This sentence just makes me mad seeing it again. I am thinking if someone at EA wants to say that they don’t have what it takes to please us. If that is true, I would say: You are a billion dollar company who only care about money. Pleasing investors and shareholders. They say that simulation lag would be downgraded, but I have experienced more.
Anyone else not getting notifs for when Yin posts anymore? Usually I do
Not y'all bullying sim gurus (who are grown adults) then wondering why they choose to not post. 🤣🤔
Backlash means the fanbase is still desperate, as long as the sales are good to EA, nothing else matter 🥴
Ok im not trying to white knight for EA actually quite the opposite, i think this whole issue is theur falut due to poor management of their game, but as a comunity we should have expected this big patch to cause a whole bunch of problems. Just in game dev in general, large bug fixe patches usually cayse just as many if not more problems as they solve. It's just gow it goes unfortunately. It will probably take saveral large patches fallowed by several hot fixes before they are able to really make any difference in how smooth the game runs meaning probably about another year minimum of game breaking updates for us. Theres no way around it unfortunately. And it doesn't matter how skilled this new bug fix team is, the game is so broken that this is going to take a while.
Like i said though, im not excusing EA in anyway. This is vecause theyve chosen to neglect the bugs in thos game for so long and let them build up so much. If they had stayed on top of things instead of only focusing on kits and packs that add more issues with the game, then this wouldn't be as big of a problem as it is now. We may still have bugs, but not to the degree we have them to right now.
What u strongly recommend, is to turn off auto updates and play in offline mode. You will need to signe in every niw and then to the EA app and it will say the sims 4 requires an update, bit if you go back into ofline mode after you signe in, you will be able to play again. Its probably best to play this way going forward untill a patch comes out that actually fixes more than it breaks.
Omg the not being able to pay bills thing is a bug? I thought it was bc I downloaded the snbank mod😭
I feel bad for the modders that are literally trying to keep up with these new updates. It's too much!
I miss the sims 3 days
They deserve a lawsuit and the franchise to be given to another company.
I had an 123 error code yesterday moving from the down town area of the love struck pack to the Britechester commons.. it would not load up into commons.. do I use mods, yes, but we all know the 123 error code is not a mods issue..
Congrats on the little one. I feel like the base source code can’t handle all the packs and kits and everything thrown on it . Sim gurus are responsible to a certain extent imo
The question you have to ask yourself as a consumer of an entertainment product is how do you interact with the publisher?
They want to make a profit. It’s obvious they’re putting out games that are not completely tested. It’s obvious to me that since the inception of Sims, four the teams have changed so much that the code is probably a mess
I do agree that their advertising of packs has been misleading.
I do like the idea of Sims four and I do have some fun with it when it works.
I appreciate them working to fix it. Although their trustworthiness of completing the project seems to be negligible, I also believe that seeing more fixes gives me heart rather than disappointment.
I would be happy to have a subscription fee that fixes the base game within about three months to be completely solid. Forward that expansion packs do not build them already broken pieces.
I still have pieces of the game that don’t work that were Bass game. I can’t get my Sim to complete composing a song to sell
Congratulations on the baby
Not my idea but if EA/Maxis has not improved the functionality of the game before the film finishes post', I am joining the boycott. It would not take nearly as much of the 'Sims fan base making a public stink to impact the film.
EA needs to be boycotted. Especially after what they did with Apex Legends and now The Sims. I bought Lovestruck but after this sh** show of fixes that break the game I think I’ll consider not buying anymore packs until they fix this mess of a game. EA you have to put effort In to these fixes not halfa** It and call It a day I payed $40 dollars and can’t even play the game I spent money on like seriously… EA do better hopefully more people follow suit and Boycott The game so EA has to do something. 😡😡😡
My sims game has not been able to save at all since the update I’m so disappointed
Didn’t buy it yet but I’m definitely waiting now
Let us downgrade!
my game crashed when I tried to go to the Britechester commons
I say this all the time....EA will not fix anything while you people keep giving them MONEY lol😅why would they fix these terrible things happening with the game all you people keep buying everything they produce SMH🤦🏽♂️
That Source Code must have been busted or this packs and updates is going through without proper testing
2024 is the year of everything going full trash fire and burning down. hopfuly for the better. but lets me honest its all the DEI hires at EA is way Sims 4 is in the state its in.,
I don’t know I have i have no problems
Once again, they release a pack with main features broken. when patches cause more harm than good...the base game is broken! Take a freaking year off and fix the game.
Hey beautiful. My sims can only sleep naked. Do you know if it’s a broken mod or is it apart of an update?? 🙏🏼
It's time to move on to Sims 5 or stuck in loop of bugs fix.
Open world Sims 3 waving from the backseat…you can STILL buy me and all my packs.
Simgurus are employees. They have NDAs, contracts and the game industry is in financial dire straits rn. I do NOT hold the developers responsible for the stupid decisions the executives make. They are overworked, underpaid for their work and burnt out. Look at who all has left unannounced! A lot of them were fired then hired back at lower pay rates when EA realized they messed up so hard.
Nah this is entirely on Andrew "please stop coating your face in dermablend you don't look human anymore" wilson
Tech as a whole is having a really slow come to jesus moment.
Stop playing the game. They use those stats to hold shareholders' gaze. Don't feed them your data. If enough people stop they'll start sweating and maybe actually finish that damn fix roadmap.
Anyway can't wait for InZOI and Paralives I'm over this damn franchise so much. It's not as fun.
I have stopped purchasing Sims 4 packs. They should fix the game and stop releasing new packs.
I just saw InZoi. The Sims just died.
I have to listen to you on 0.75x 💀
A lot of people do 😭
2 weeks later and still can't use my mods🙄🙄
“Outrage” is dramatic 😅
Lmao a little 😉
Like I said in your last video y’all need to stop paying for their packs then they’ll care but y’all are complaining but still doing the same stupid stuff
I applaud EA for putting out a lot more fixes. It does say that they’re trying to fix the game. There is some effort happening. I do not appreciate a $40 non-expansion. I haven’t bought since for rent because the stability of the game has not been there. In the recent survey, I answered that I would not buy until the game. I felt stable
I I appreciate the fixes and I think people need to calm down about seeing so many fixes and also that you’re playing an entertainment game not a critical infrastructure system. Give EA some slack but realize that nothing gets fixed instantly it’s obvious that the base game of the Sims four has had a lot of handled updates I’m sure the code is a mess
I bet after EA drop Lovestruck and the game update, they wrapped everything up and congratulated each other. Then got the call a few hours later about the game bugs. They started looking through their files and was like, “Goddamned, we keep sending out the rough draft!”. 🤣🤣🤣
You keep buying packs
