I'm planning my own wedding for this june. The only good thing that came from this pack is the reassurance that my wedding CANNOT go as poorly as the ones you get with this pack

This is 100% a transparency issue. We would have all understood if they had been honest about the issues and either extended the deadline or released it and sincerely apologised for the issues. The silence of the gurus, the sims and EA right now is extremely loud.

Someone on Twitter said, can you imagine Simmers that are not actively a part of the online Sims Community? They probably bought this pack and it's completely broken with no explanation as to why, nothing. I can't stop thinking about that.

[bellahubbard]

I think the funny thing is that this pack isn’t a CAS pack, it isn’t really a builder’s pack, it’s a gameplay pack. However the gameplay is severely bugged. So why would any type of Simmer buy this pack?

[RebekahSage]

I was really excited about this pack, and now I'm just really disappointed. EA is a huge company, there's no excuse to release something this bad

[shwangy]

You know it's bad when the sweetest most genuine person in the Sims 4 community on YouTube says it's bad. Woof

[elenas]

EA “we made a wedding pack”
Simmers “can we disable the wedding part until it’s fixed”
It’s bust the dust all over again!

[Leafiu]

EA: “Smarter Sims!”

The Sims: *Sit near the arch that isn’t being used for the wedding*

[breakinfreee]

I’m VERY glad you explained that buying this pack overrides the whole wedding system. No other review I’ve watched so far has said that and that’s a very important point. Thank you.

[biscuityy]

It’s honestly embarrassing that the sims team would put out a broken pack that they knew it was broken it’s honestly disgraceful and embarrassing at this point.

[jessielee]

ok can we also address the fact restaurants aren’t an available lot type for rehearsal DINNERS omg

[missunnaturally]

thanks for your honest opinion. I love the build items from the pack but if this is so much broken as you said, I prefer to wait and maybe use CC to replace the build content.

[kaitlynoddie]

sims don’t even know how to sit at the same dinner table, how can we expect them to sit at the same wedding aisle

[denisearnold]

one thing i'm super upset about and haven't heard anyone else mention: why are toddlers excluded from the weddings? i went into this knowing it wouldn't fully work, obviously, but i was very, very upset to see that my sims children weren't able to be at the wedding, for no good reason.

[thisusernameisalreadytaken]

The worst part for me is that if you buy this dlc, it overrides the base game weddings and replaces them with this broken mess(which says a lot considering how much of a mess BG weddings are). I was tempted to buy this one day HEAVILY discounted as the world is very nice(the clothes looked meh but I think I'm just spoiled by how good cc is lol), but I really don't want the broken weddings forever and being forced to use the elope function just so I can avoid this headache. If only world packs from sims 3 were still a thing. Oh well.

Kayla is so optimistic. When she says it’s bad, IT’S BAD.

[darkempress]

Man, I'm so bummed EA fudged this (I'm sure the Sims team did the best they were enabled to do). I love the build stuff, the CAS stuff & I would have loved wedding gameplay, if it worked. I would have 100% given them my $26 CAD if they'd been able to fix this pack. Maybe I will in a few months, if they're able to keep working to fix it.

[thebutterfly]

I said it before and I'll say it again: Start a petition to boycott Wedding Stories until it's actually fixed! If this was a mod, you wouldn't even download it because it's so broken. Spending money on this pack is telling EA that their behavior is ok with the consumers and encourages them to keep putting our mediocre content in pretty wrappings

[pessoafail]

EA: We couldn't fix all bugs, it isn't possible!

Modders: Hold our beers.

Honestly, this is embarrassing.

[pinktoonie]

I tried to have a wedding and all the guests just disappeared before they could even get to their seats, and then the bride t-posed for the remainder of the ceremony. After the hastily ended wedding, my married couple still were able to ask people to be their whatever for the ceremony. Usually when people are like, oh this pack is really buggy, my game works fine, but holy shit this was so bad. BAD. And it's just so shallow. The parties are the same thing with a different name, there are no non-positive interactions, no drama, etc. It's just empty, hollow, dead. Unbelievably disappointing especially because they just keep pumping out those godawful kits.
