I feel that EA should fix all the many bugs in the game before releasing anymore new content. If they continue to produce more Packs which make the game more buggy without fixing previous faults then someone might assume they are more interested in making more money out of their customers than giving them the satisfaction of a working game they can actually play and enjoy.
If you look through these Forums the bug and fault list is endless. These are not being fixed in a timely fashion I.M.H.O.
Because of problems I have been unable to use The Sims 4 because of all the issues and bugs for some considerable time and have spent many hours with others on the Forum trying to find the cause and possible fixes to some of the problems. I am not a Beta Tester and expect things to have been thoroughly tested in house before being released. Some of the Sim Guru's are working hard on our behalf but are constantly battling against more problems as new packs are released which bring more bugs and issues. Someone at the Top should decide what the priorities are and let the customers know where they stand.
I know many people have just given up on the game thereby wasting the hard earned money they have already spent on it.
I know some people will think I am moaning about nothing and being negative but the situation can't go on like this.
I am on a pension and therefore a fixed income. I would like to get some enjoyment out of the money I have spent on this game because I cannot afford to throw money away on something that does not work and I cannot use.
Kind regards James.

If you have any problems other than the ones he listed (if those aren't the reasons for lag) because they are aware of everything so far in the list that are causing the lag, but don't have any idea when they will get those fixed. I didn't think some of those were my problem, until I checked one Sim's inventory and was shocked.
Kind regards James.

I have wondered if there is too much content on the Sims 4 site, because now I cannot load the Gallery, always says, you aren't on line and unable to connect. I have come out of the game, run a repair, logged out and logged in again, and still the same error. My computer which was built for me by my grandson, who works in programming built it specifically to run Sims without problems, more than enough memory and lastest game drivers but unfortunately EA didn't build the game to run without problems. Perhaps the developers of this game are under so much pressure from EA to bring out the game and expansion packs they don't have time to fix any bugs. Doesn't do much for the brand if their games don't run smoothly.

I agree with you. I understand there was a lot of complaints last year for the lack of information on new content, but I need to say that I honestly prefer to wait a few months for new content if that means they're fixing bugs and issues. I feel like the problems with this game just keep accumulating and the team who has to fix them can't keep track anymore.

If you are unable to play the game at all, you may like to start a thread in the Sims 4 Tech section and post your DxDiag information there . Simmers there can check over your computer details , to see if they can offer suggestions to help with the issues you are having.
Make sure that your graphics drivers are uptodate.

It is simulation lag. And I already sent my save file. Not the only bug I'm experiencing, but it's the most severe one that prevents me from actively playing.
It is good that you sent the save game file.
There are a few things to do to try to see if they may help with your issues.
If you have cc/mods in your game, move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and test to see if that helps the issues.
Sometimes having a large amount of items in the sims inventories and household inventory can cause issues. Try removing some of the items from the inventories and see if that helps.
Lower your graphics settings and see if that helps.
Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or " options " file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder
Try switching between 32 bit mode and 64 bit mode and see if one of the modes helps the lagging issues more than the other
Go to Game Library in Origin . Right click on The Sims 4 picture.
Click on “Game Properties”. Click on Advanced Launch options.
Change the “When launching this Game” setting to “The Sims 4 32-bit”
Or change the “When launching this Game” setting to “The Sims 4 64-bit”
Try turning off origin in-game and see if that helps. To do that, go,to Game Library in Origin . Right click on The Sims 4 picture. Click on “Game Properties”. Then untick the box that enables origin in-game
Try playing in off line mode and see if that helps.
If your sims live in San Myshuno, try moving them to another world
Check to make sure that your graphics drivers are up todate.

I suspect its connected with the huge amount of head bobbing when sims stand around. Its like they are getting commands to go somewhere or do something but then something is deleting the command. And since so many commands seem to be happening, it takes a few seconds until an actual command is executed. But thats just me. I really wish we would have the chance for an open talk with a guru about this.
About the topic:
The excessive water drinking bug occurs in my game at the moment. I discovered that the reports about this bug go back to at least june 2016. Nearly a year and no fix. The mods that were fixing it dont work anymore. Let that sink in. The modding community gave up fixing bugs in the game.
So yes, always fix the biggest and oldest bugs first before releasing new content.
Thanks Guy's for your comments. We need to keep at this if anything good is going to come out of it. Being able to talk to a Guru is a good idea Zasz. We need some serious thought from EA if this game is to continue. I will be spending no more money until these major bugs are fixed.
It would help if we could understand the real cause of them but EA still don't seem to have any ideas.
Kind regards James.
