BABY GLITCH: I'M ON STRIKE!!!!!!!

I have contacted EA twice about my baby issue. The option to age up isn't there and they won't age naturally and EA has said this is a glitch and they are "working on it". I have decided to stop playing the game until improvements are made. This game was released way too early. No toddlers, a dumb camping expansion, a boring game. Farewell Sims 4 Simmers, I bid you, adieu.

People in general complain about the sims 4 but never mention the good thing about it. I think it's just totally unfair to maxis and all the other people putting there heart and soul in making this sims game better than the others. You can't tell me that sims 3 or even sims 2 WASNT boring before all the expansions came out and without them it would be brilliant. They made this game for us and how would you feel if you just spent I dunno maybe a year on a game making it the best you can and people just complaining. Every game has glitches without glitches the game WOULDNT be nearly as good as it is. People would moan more if the game is rubbish and rubbish quality and worse than the first sims so all I'm gonna say is you should be greatful we even have this game to enjoy.
I am currently playing TS3, just the base game, no CC, mods, or expansions, and loving it. Just like I did when it came out. I do not understand how people say there was nothing to do, because I did not even finish everything there was to do before WA came out (which was also amazing).
And I don't think people would mind the glitches if a) there were not so very many of them, and b) it truly seems like EA just does not care, and has no intention of repairing them.
I understand there are people who like this game best, and are not experiencing game breaking glitches, but please understand, there are others who paid a lot of money for an unplayable game.
I understand what your saying, we didn't actually spend much time playing the base game. I understand that people don't like the sims 4 in there personal opinions but I had to let loose and get my point across has I had a ball of anger of so many different people pointing out the bad stuff in sims 4. I'm sorry @Missa_Sissa if you got the impression I was aiming at you but this was not intentionally about you. But I will now rest my case. Thank you for your response.
New bugs are being discovered EVERY day.
EA removed vital features, making the game boring.
A game shouldn't be boring when it first comes out, expansions make it better but the base shouldn't be boring.
EA refuse to tell us more about the toddler situation.
The whole game is unfinished.
You're sticking up for EA, but they can't stick up for themselves and apologise for their mistakes.
Despite that,
I like the cas and the build mode and enjoy using them. I won't be grateful we have the game, however, because EA cut so many corners that I and many other players fail to appreciate their laziness. It should have new features without cutting others, and it is coming with twice as many bugs acceptable, so I am losing my sympathy for them.
There no mistakes. EVERY GAME I've played have had a least one glitch. EA might not have set anything certain for the toddler situation so DOESNT want to reveal anything that might lead us on to thinking something that's happening that's not. And yes I am sticking up for EA because not every game is great at the start, games have ep to improve them. &I thought the sims 3 base game was boring,

It's not right to remove a feature that so many people loved and then not do anything about it. It's ok to have a few glitches, but here new bugs are coming up every day.
NO! STOP IT! I already paid $70. That is a plum-load of money! But now I have to pay more if I expect it to be fun?!
I didn't need an expansion to make Dragon Age fun. Or any Zelda game, or Mario game, pokemon game, Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing.....
A game should be fun. Expansions should add more fun. You should not need to pay more money just to try to make it fun. This is an argument I just keep reading over and over, and I cannot understand that mentality at all.
"Hi! Here's a ton of money! Well, that was no fun, maybe more money will fix it!"
Try that in case it's the same type of bug as last fall.

I don't see how you can argue this. I live in England and paid less, and if you don't like the way ea solves their bugs or glitches or the way they decide what features they use they don't play it. It's totally unfair to blame Ea after all the hard work they put into it. They are not super heroes they can't fix it all at once. Everyone would be moaning even more if they didn't bring it out for ages just to put a feature an ep can have in. Sims isn't like zelda. It cost way more. A lot.
Nobody knows wether their doing anything about it! You don't know that their not!! XD
My point is, no on buys a game thinking, 'this is going to be OK, but years from now when I give them tons MORE money, it's going to be great!' If I buy a game, especially for this much money, I expect it to work. And I can't just say, 'hey, it's been months, you still haven't fixed this stuff, I still can't play my game, can I have my money back?'
And yes, it did cost a lot more than zelda. A lot more. Therefore, logically, it should at least be expected to work.
I'm not saying they didn't do somethings right, I'm saying: look around these forums. There are pages and pages of people reporting bugs, more after every patch. Some are game-ending for players. And EA isn't even addressing most of them. People feel ignored, ripped off, unimportant. People are upset that things they feel are basic things were left out. Unhappy people that gave EA more money for expansions that now are uninstalling themselves. You can't ignore that, or tell them they are wrong to be unhappy.
Babies can (or at least could months ago) still age up even with aging off. You clicked on the basket and there was an option to age up.
I don't think it was a bug. I think it was sort of like how you could manually age a Sim up with the cake, but because the baby was an object and not an actual Sim, the only way that could be done was with the basket interaction. Your weird baby object couldn't blow out candles!
I've only had one baby in TS4, because I wanted to test and see if Mom's green skin transferred to the baby (it did!). I immediately aged it to a child as soon as I was able with the basket option. But that was back in November.
But people complaining on the forums there's a techinal page. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE GOOD STUFF! I hate it when people forget the good stuff. I KNOW I KNOW that glitches are annoying and super super unattractive, but be grateful for whT you have and enjoy the game!!
Some of us CANNOT be grateful for what we have and enjoy the game, BECAUSE THE GAME WILL NOT RUN. For some, the loss of toddlers is devastating if they play families or legacy games. I cannot collect, it has been broken for me from day one. And collecting is a major part of why I played and enjoyed the Sims games. We paid a lot of money for a game that does not work. And for people to tell us 'well just don't play it' is incredibly insulting.
Please understand, I am not trying to attack you personally, but it is so insulting when people say that, and it gets said a lot. Imagine you bought a new car. You had the previous model for years and loved it. This model is supposed to be better. You save up, get the car, and it wont start. And then it does start, and the radio doesn't work. But then the car company give you free floor mats to somehow make up for this. But they decided to take the seat belts out. And wheels aren't included (don't worry, they will probably sell you those later! The car is going to be GREAT later). Are you going to tell people, 'well, they worked so hard making the car! If you don't like it, just don't drive it!'

For me it is a lot of fun. And yes, everything was a rabbit hole, but there was still tons to do. The skills had real rewards and goals, so I wasn't just grinding to level 10, I loved all the opportunities to do (and that you could have three of them), right from the beginning there was so much to collect (and it wasn't broken!). I loved that any lot you went to had Sims there, even places like the really remote lake and Simhenge. I felt the traits actually meant something in TS3 and noticed a difference a lot more. I liked how if you took the neat trait you got the interaction to clean all, and were happy when you cleaned. In TS4 I have not noticed anything different between Neat Sims and Slob Sims, the Neat Sims sometimes get tense, but all the other crazy emotions cover it up so it's never an issue. Sims could go to the spa or take classes for skills. You could do both career branches - that keeps me very busy! Objects were not monstrously huge, so you could actually have them on your lot without them being an eyesore. I liked when you looked through the telescope sometimes you saw a falling star, and could go get it.
For my play style, base TS3 to base TS4: 3 was infinitely more fun on its own.
@Piperbird1 I must say, I agree with every single bit you have said in this thread. And I found TS3 base game a lot of fun as well. There were so much to do even for a base game, like collecting which i have spend a lot of time doing. And CAS was wonderful, which i really miss in TS4. I still play TS3 a lot, especially because i am doing the legacy challenge (both in TS3 and TS4 atm). You could also see how many books you have written, read, royalties you make and stuff like that, which is really lacking in TS4. In TS4 i dont get all my royalties because my sim writes too many books for the message to show. So I have to wait for some books royalties to ware out, and i can't see how long that will take. It annoys me a lot.
There is also a lot of bugs with childrens life time wishes, where i can't complete the one with playing on that thing where children climbing thing while being playful.
AND another thing is that I cannot install my game in english which is very annoying. I enjoy playing TS3 in english. Instead i have to play TS4 in Danish as it is my language. It makes no sence since english is the most spread out language in the world. I bought the digital deluxe edition. The option to install in different languages really should be included.
I've started a picture story on imgur! There is both from sims 3 and sims 4, so a little from both worlds! ^_^
