    Which do you impatiently wait for, and why?
    New content or bug fixes for old things?

      I didn't vote, because I feel both are important - not either or. There are many groups of people to consider and please as a developer.

      It depends on the kind of bugs really. If they are huge and game-breaking for many, or just utterly annoying without work-arounds, bug fixes are far more important. If the bugs are just minor and happen rarely or have work-arounds, I would much rather see new content.

      I don't really care much for the new content that comes in patches. It's great but at it's core, patches are traditionally for bug fixes which the game desperately needs.

      I like getting new content, I can live with most of the bugs as I don't seem to get many and I never really notice them.
      I wish they would bring back the spiral staircase as some of my houses are crying out for them, a normal staircase does not always work in my homes..

      Both are important but I would rather have some bugs dealt with first then new content. New content always seems to either bring about new bugs or cause old ones to resurface. If we focus of fixing the ones the plague the game first before adding the possibility of having new ones arise. Bugs can cause the game to be hard to play, out of sheer frustration.

      The way these things work in a software company, there's zero reason for it not to be both. Developers can't spend all their time fixing bugs that QA finds. They need stuff to do in between. That means new stuff. It's simply not an either/or in reality, ever, and it can't be one from a business perspective. You can't just focus on bugs.

      I really can't decide between them but I chose bug fixs anyway. Fixes are necessary.

      Easy answer I wait for new content rarely is there a bug that effects my game not once have I thought they fixed some bugs I'm going to check the game out.
      Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"

      New things. Right now I need a Pool Stuffpack. More items for pools.

      Edit
      I misread but I still want a Pool SP. I still prefer a big update to the base game like cars over bug fixes.

      I constantly prefer a game pack that includes a professional singing career similar to Showtime.

      Are there any major bugs at the moment? I’m not aware of any in my game?

      Basically the winters are quite deadly, partly because Sims are not dressing appropriately for the weather. Like during my last Winterfest, every single dang walk-by was dressed in their Party outfits and turning blue instead of in their actual cold weather clothes.

      Thing is, the previous winter, NO ONE in my save died. It wasn't until I moved from Windenburg to Newcrest that I started having all these cold weather deaths, so I think it might depend on the size and pathing routes of each neighborhood if you're seeing this or not.

      I wish they would just fix the clock when the time speeds up.

      I voted for fixes, no point in releasing all these new packs if basic game mechanics / gameplay is buggy.
      Signature here. No here. Never-mind.

      Honestly please fix some stuff before releasing new stuff.

      • Cats and dogs should no longer fill your Sims’ queue with interactions. We want the pets to be friendly, but perhaps not that friendly.

      I'd rather have bug fixes. Having new content doesn't mean anything if bugs and glitches are getting in the way of my gameplay.

      I've never seen such a buggy game as this one. While I enjoy getting new stuff in patches, there's no excuse for the state the game is in so I like how they have shifted their focus to bug fixes for patches.

      New content always breaks the game even further, so I feel that they should focus (for once) on trying to fix what they already have before inevitably introducing more issues.
