At this point I don't believe that this game will ever get properly fixed by EA. They are going to just release new content to make the shareholders happy. That's their main goal. There have been too many years with major bugs still around and now to the point where save games become unplayable.

That's why I wish so much that they stop creating new content for this game so that modders can fix it. This won't help console players but at least people who are used to playing with mods.

So that modders can fix it, you say?

So many modders say that the reason their mods no longer work is because Maxis keeps changing the code. As soon as a mod fixes a problem, a new upgrade comes out which breaks it or something else, and we're right back to where we were before - frustratedly waiting until the modders can figure out what Maxis did and "fix" it again (which is the main reason the masses rise up against them). Things like this keeps me coming back to believing that EA/Maxis has from the beginning deliberately set out to eliminate as many mods as they can (and are no doubt truly happy that the masses rise up against the modders). There's no fixing if you're deliberately out to eliminate competition and/or cause division.

No they can fix it ONLY when EA stops creating new content for the game. That's my point. No new expansion pack, challenge or bug fixes from EA. Because with every new content or patch from them the game breaks even more. That's why it would be better to leave this game as is and let the modders fix it. But this won't happen as EA has stopped developing Sims 5. They don't want to risk losing the Sims 4 player base and thus are going to concentrate on this bugged game for the next years.

You never know what’s comin’ for ya.

According to Satch, they also jacked up the price of these kits as well. They're suddenly charging double for a kit?

If this is true and not some kind of website glitch, it is a sleazy move on EA's behalf. Charging more to cover the 5% commission.

Multi-billion dollar company acting like it is struggling with 5% of a frickin' TS4 kit. Where is the world's tiniest violin?
