The Sims 4 is totally broken (beyond repair?)

The Sims 4 is in the worst state I've ever seen it in.

I miss when visitors using your computer and sims washing dishes in the bathroom were considered annoying bugs

[evilcookie]

The game is broken and I just got an email saying " Sims 4 sale! "

The audacity 😭

Y'all just wait until EA brings out the first "Fix Your Sims - Gameplay Pack" which is just a big patch they worked on to fix what they broke.... Only 39, 99€/$/£.

Definitely beyond repair. They have been releasing broken, untested or (not thoroughly tested) content for 10 years and not bothered to fix anything. Now they are suddenly interested in fixing it because they can't ignore us all any longer but it's far too late.

I swear to god they’re letting their cow plants code the game

[somebodyemo]

I just want sims who visit me to stop making white cakes and using the grill to make de stressing potions

[Retroleak]

it’s annoying, because OF COURSE when i’m back in my unhealthy simmer gaming era where i play NONSTOP, the game breaks. like great 🙃

A game slapped together 10yrs ago is incapable of running multiple expansion packs all trying to alter the base code.

[TOMIEUNDEAD]

I lost my 25 generation world due to a save error code

So im officially done with sims4

[Squirreljess]

It's insanity!! I'm a console player so not a single mod. IT IS UNPLAYABLE RIGHT NOW. I won't be spending any money on this anymore.

As a person that works in QA department I really appreciate that you are not blaming the testers for the bugs. I have never worked with EA, but from my own experience I can pretty confidiently say that QA always noticies and reports any bugs they see and as you said it is up to the production team to decide whether they will fix certain issues or not. Many times after the release of any title, there are articules saying 'testers were lazy when working on this game' or something like that which can be really sad. Especially seeing that it was an external QA that worked on this pack we can only assume that the communication between them and the EA and production was kinda lacking and your guess that they could've been testing only this particular pack with not having access to the others may be correct as they probably got base game + lovestruck to test - that is also why the packs always seem to be so disjointed.

My son worked as a tester on the Sims 3. He was hired by EA in Baton Rouge to be one of about 300 testers. He was promoted quickly, because he's always had a talent for everything computers( unlike me!) However, everyone in the Baton Rouge department was laid off, because they moved the testing overseas. This was before Sims 4, so I don't know why they are still reporting that there is a Baton Rouge location. As far as I know, EA has never moved their testing back here.

I'm so sick of it. All the packs, kits, EPs are so freaking expensive, so cashgrabby and you simply can't play the game without being super frustrated. When I think about the amount of money I've already spent for The Sims 4 and see the state of the game, I'm getting furious. What is going on in the EA?

[mumplaysthesims]

Absolutely agree that they should pay Simmers to quality test the game before things are released.

[annieg]

My sim has passed THREE TIMES from laughter just from minor things… it’s never been this glitchy

[jadedjhypsi]

I think all the Sims players need to get together and sue!!! There is more than enough proof they have repeatedly sold products they intentionally mislead us on.

[raphaelkissling]

Honestly, there's also just way to much unnecessary content in the Sims 4. So many different systems working next to or against eachother, a ton of buffs and effects etc etc. And still it doesn't feel as fun and interesting as the previous two titles

[anyabacak]

I think ever since high school years things really started going downhill

[SimSweet]

Those of you saying what is wrong, for the love of god STOP buying! I stopped after for rent, it broke my save file beyond repair, I had 8 gens in that save file, ea is not seeing my money anymore, i have since just played other games or going back to my the sims 3 game or the sims 2.

that graph you drew in paint at 8:20 is what we call in the development world "software rot" as the longer a piece of software is maintained the more bugs it will have over time until eventually you hit a breaking point
