While I do love the Sims 4, I do feel that EA takes advantage of their fanbase and misuse the product just to make more money. Even after purging my mods I still have to have the cheats mod enabled to make the game stop stuttering on my pc. EA simply didn't bother optimizing Sims 4.
I love the Sims 4: it’s my favorite game of all time. But I think it’s incompatible with its own marketing strategy, and most fans don’t know how to articulate that, so they just rage. It’s ok to both unironically love a franchise and hate the ways it’s been gutted for maximum profitability.
even not using mods, on a good computer, having all the packs, the game does not run as intended. they interfere with each other. i truly think ea as a corporation has decided that they can keep making money and not doing anything to fix the broken stuff.
Lobe the game but theres a lot of issues. Almost every time i play now i encounter something wrong since the updates in october or november. My sims are getting stuck on lots sometimes. Cant play cottage living fully due to animals getting stuck in inventory. Sims actions cancelling out, there is now a bit of a delay before the menu pops up when clicking on a sim. Ive submitted tons of reports or me tood subs on the forum. Theres serious issues eith the geneology that totally messes your legacy games up. I could go on but i wont. For me the game is performing worse than it ever did. I have a 2yr old gaming computer that is Only used for sims btw. And no its not mods, these are acknowledged open cases with ea
Have you even tried curved walls? 😅 There are long standing bugs that still cause problems to this day. Wedding stories practically was a bug when it came out lmao dont get me wrong, i love sims, but they didn't provide a better product than sims 3, they just made it prettier with less options and personality, and more bugs. 😅
I love occults in the sims games and sims 4 did the occults dirty. I need mods to make the spellcasters, werewolves, vampires, and mermaids feel complete and enjoyable to play for more than 1 session. I dislike how many simmers crap on the occults, saying they don't like their inclusion in the game and only care about the dollhouse aspect of sims 4, but they pay EA full price on every pack on release (teaching EA that they can financially abuse their fans).
#TheSims4isBroken ...and so is the positivity-posse. Liss, you sound worried about your career hinging on a broken game... and you should be! I think it would be a real shame if the Sims 4 failed, but simfluencers pretending the game is fine isn't helping. They shouldn't discredit the audience's experience so quickly and attempt to silence them snarky remarks. Use your platform for something better in life, because this ain't it.
The short got a bit off topic, but I agree- it has some minor bugs, but it is still definitely functional and fun

it’s not completely broken…it DOES however cost over $2000 to purchase the entirety of the game and i’m not cool with that, conceptually

it’s not too broken to function. however, i believe it’s too broken to enjoy (unmodded).
