Thank god for modders, they are the true heroes lol!
(Also, please don't be offended (though don't know why you would be). I just want to show some love for mod creators that go above and beyond to make this game playable and doing the devs jobs for free.)

I don't know how well they get paid, but paid nonetheless and they have said things like that before. It's kind of sad and funny...
Sometimes I think the video game companies should pay modders. Especially when they've fixed a bug. Buy it off the modder, save yourself a little time and fix the game.
It is the truth! I feel a lot of them are like "Ah that's broken, ah well why should we worry about it? Modders will do it for free."
^^ Yep.
Yes
True. I get so angry during lives streams when they introduce new content and jokingly say "oh the modders will have fun adding new swatches for this" or something similar. Why couldn't you have done it instead of relying on the modders? At least pay them if your going to do that.
It's behavior like this is why I don't have much respect for the gurus. Like don't be so arrogant and cocky.
Not EA but one might assume they follow the trend.
EA is mistreating the Sims 2 as well unfortunately, not just cause of the fact that they neglect to add it on Origin but also because they try to advertise the Sims 4 at the same time.
Sometimes it's like "For those of you asking unfortunately The Sims 2 ultimate collection isn't available on Origin. But, you can still grab The Sims 4 on PC, Mac and consoles though, yeay!!"
Modders don't have deadlines or people higher up telling them what they can and can't spend time on either. They literally can take as much time as they want to perfect/fix the mod without someone saying "Stop working on that it's a waste of time we need XYZ done." I've worked in environments like this and it's very frustrating. Usually the team knows what the customer wants but the team lead and/or someone higher than the team lead will tell you there's not enough time and the company wants XYZ out by the end of the week/month.
So far I have...
Civic Policy Teaks by Simvasion. It fixes issues with N.A.P's.
NPC Don't Swipe with Sharing is Caring by Zero. Stops all the stealing from community lots.
Three mods by magneticsouth to stop the horrible effects of N.A.P's I don't want to see.
No Eco Footprint Decay by Scarlet. The eco footprint decays to fast without the mod and makes it all seem pointless.
They aren't exactly fixes for bugs but for me personally they are fixes for things that I find absolutely annoying and uncalled for.
They should be hiring the modders and CC creators. I'm sure we'd probably get Create-A-World in this game by next spring if they did...
And NOT even at most for "fixing bugs", BUT to tweak the game for my liking. As so many times has been said, what is great to someone, is NOT great to an another, so I am forever thankful for modders, all the way back from The Sims (looking at you , Inge).
What makes me to rip my hair of, is the thing when someone says "We should not depend on mods when playing THIS game". And why?
Well, look at TS3, I have never played it, but I can read. At every TS3 thread people keep saying you need this and this mod (Nraas) to make it playable.
And then there is TS2 , my favourite, I cannot believe when people says it is so perfect it it flawlessly playable without mods, must be nostalgia speaking. I play it at present day still, and we are talking about the game where, when you delete a sim from bin, using IN GAME TOOLS, you had just corrupted your hood. If you add Mrs Crumblebottom, or a taxi driver, or schoolbusdriver (and various of others) to your family (via cheats), you have at right at that moment corrupted your whole game installation. Whit mods you can most likely do the things above, without instant corruption. And after that, there is bugs in that game too, what has mods to fix it. Plus tuning mods to tweak things to your liking, as has TS3 and TS4.
Sorry, just had to say this, my apologies.
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Thank god I don’t work for “the man” anymore 🤣🤣
They shouldn't hire them. The irony now is that a lot of modders and other EA content creators get paid more (through donations and ad revenue) than they would if they worked for EA. And even for those who don't get paid more, I think some prefer things as they are now as they have more freedom to develop things as they want and without deadlines.
I think EA just needs to improve its quality control a bit.
That's all corporations. It's the basic u underlying principle of all of them. Maximize efficiency at generating profit. Which is why we need a global paradigm shift to value some things more than money.
