Don't break your expansion packs with mandatory patches.

Everyone here is aware of the game breaking problems that Supernatural has on ambitions.
Even the latest patch has injured one of the better expansions.
My request is simply NOT BREAK YOUR FREAKING GAME!
That is all.

I sincerely, sincerely hope Sims 4 does not have the kind of issues I've experienced thus far.
I can't see myself awarding them with more money unless they repair what they broke on TS3.
I've not had any problems with the current patch ...
Bully for you!
I instantly found that my PC slowed down after installing the latest patch...I have a high-spec PC and it suddenly starts running slow? The launcher itself runs slow, it doesn't install items unless I delete certain tmp files that were added, and even when I do, after a short time it happens again, so each time I want to install something new, doesn't matter if it's from the store or from the exchange, or wherever it won't, unless I delete tmp files and some downloadsims file. Added to that, the game itself runs slower, and stuttery. I've never experience the kind of problems I've had with any game, in the way I have with Sims games. And patch 1.55 is the cherry on the top.
I shouldn't have to be messing around with patch/game files just to get the thing to work.
That doesn't sound good at all! I really hope how they've coded TS4 is much better!
Feel sorry for the players who will run into problems in the game if that happens.
Let's see:
Try to explore a cave on a dive lot and Sims reset to the nearest shore -- check.
A few short months after they made a big deal about being able to take pictures with friends on the smartphone, that ability's gone; Sims just freeze up -- check.
Game freezes if a self-employed Sim tries to check into a resort -- check.
Some of the issues have been solved with mods, but for those who don't want to use mods they're stuck.
They really need teams to work closer together and do full testing on all sorts of game setups (installed packs) so they could spot problems. It makes no sense to break what was one of the most ballyhooed features of a previous pack, such as self-employment or picture taking. :roll:

(if you retry the cave exploring after being resetted the first time it usually does work is my experience)
I haven't either
I've never actually had any issues with my gameplay at all..
Can you still play Sim Gnubb?
My Sims can drive just fine, they don't end up on any shore - I've sent my two Sims diving together where they've met other Sims diving
I have all of those problems. The picture taking one really bothers me. I loved having my sims take pictures of themselves with friends or family. They can still take the romantic photos, but not the regular friendly ones (that require Jock status). I used to get them to take pictures practically all the time, at least whenever they got together with a friend to hang out. I especially took lots of photos when my sims had parties. The ones where they're celebrating Spooky Day in their costumes are my favourite! I really miss that
I hate that self-employed sims cannot check into resorts. Self-employment careers are usually a lot more fun for me because I hate rabbitholes with a passion.
The cave exploration thing happens to me about half the time I've tried to have a sim explore a cave. But after unlocking the uncharted islands, I don't see any good reason to explore the caves anyways because it's just a lame rabbithole experience. My sims find enough treasure and collectibles other ways that are far more interesting.

Have you discovered some of them? There's only one that you need to explore a cave for at least, and if they reset, you can use testingcheats to remove the moodlet and then send them right back. It usually works fine the second attempt. I find the most success when I make my sim view an object right in front or beside the cave I want them to explore. When they view something by the cave, then I can usually send them into the cave with no trouble at all if I don't move the screen at all. It seems the sim is properly aligned to go into the cave and doesn't seem to reset very often when I do it that way.
Nonetheless, EA/Maxis really MUST put in a whole lot more effort with their patches and EPs to make sure they aren't breaking something in the game! How come every time there is a new EP, they re-break the dresser and mirror so that ages reset when you use them? This bug seems to ALWAYS come along with each new addition to the series. They fix it in a patch, then the next EP breaks it all over again :roll:
They do give me the impression of being the most incompetent game programmers ever. It is just an impression of course, but they absolutely need to step up their game or I will not stay with them. I am pretty disgusted by the poor quality of their work on Sims 3. They will have exactly one chance with me for Sims 4. I will try the base game. If it's a buggy mess, I will never purchase another EA product again--simple as that.

Anyone know of a fix anywhere? EA sure isn't fixing it.
I can still explore caves without and issues
I'm too addicted and in love with Sims 3 to ever leave my Sims, but I agree with you that it's incomprehensible how sloppy and full of mistakes the game is here and there.
Because a lot of gamers have such short attention spans that they are easily distracted by anything new and shiny. "Oh, look! A new plumbob! Ooooooh, shiny."
