Useless patch

I’m so annoyed, we wait a month for the patch to be released and they didn’t fix anything important. Most bug fixes were for SPs even though cats and dogs broke all the game.
City living and cats and dogs are the buggiest EPs so far and non of them got fixed.
Honestly I think it’s embarrasing to release a patch like this.
Remaining issues:
- Doctor career works half of the time. Some tasks won’t be completed even though they’ve done them SEVERAL times.
- Stupid outfits are still a thing
- Names generated by the game that I can’t pronounce
- Cats and dogs are pretty much stuck when they live in apartments and want to pee
- Adoption lady for cats and dogs works half of the time.
- Adopting strays works half of the time
- Some table recolors don’t work.
- Selling items at the flea market doesn’t work
- Sims getting stuck out of nowhere still happens
And no I’m not reporting this bugs somewhere else again. They have been going on for a while so by now everyone knows.

-Pet toy boxes keep rotating on their own when sim returns to lot
-One of the shingle wallpapers is missing or incomplete and shows a number on the swatch
And City Living:
-Windows casting wrong shadows in San Myshuno or no shadows when CL windows are on lots in other worlds
Can you tell I’m a builder?
I don’t understand your reasoning? All the bugs in the game affect the new SP.
I think builders need more attention. The game needs to give you more stuff to work with and if they won’t do it, at least keep it bug free.
The flea market thing bugs me too -- my Sim spent all day trying to sell her MySims figurines but evidently no one else wants them either.
More than likely they're still working on the issue of the weird outfits and the rest of the issues you describe. I'll tag @SimGuruNick @SimGuruArvin and see if either of them can provide insight.

Ill give up free stuff for a bunch of of bug fixes in a heartbeat
I mean I don’t mind some diversity in names, but all the names??? It’s really annoying
I agree. I would rather have bugs fixed over free stuff. Heck I want bug fixes more than a new stuff pack.
The name generator is frustrating. At this stage I'm not sure if its a bug. I got the game for my niece on console and its even affecting the console game. I have so many townies called Kieko I got fed up of changing their names.
I used a mod for a while then it got outdated and the modder had given up on the game so he never updated it again
The window shadows are so annoying! I noticed those too.
This is the saddest part. There are modders who are willing to fix the things that are broken. However, having your mod broken practically every other month, for some, it ceases to be worth it. Or, they just don't feel that the game itself is worth the effort.
Exactly. Also why is it that modders can fix it, but the developers won’t? Like I really don’t understand
As for the clothes issue, its been fixef already. Having weird clothes in San myshuno is by design, because theyre labelled under weirdos. They wear weird masks or st patties hats etc.
And the dogs being "stuck" when they have to pee outside makes absolute perfect sense. It is an apartment. You dont just let your dogs out irl in an apartment, have them use the elevator, go pee and come back. Dogs are outdoor active creatures. They want backyards to run around in. If you want then to pee in an apartment then you need to leash them up and take them outside just like in real life, or get a cat. Theyre low maintenance and perfect for apartments.
As for the name bug, that is one of my most annoying bugs. I dont mind variety, but more than half the town are pale skinned and oriental names.

I wasn’t having issues with adoption till last time. I wanted to adopt and the adoption agent came, but with no pets. It like glitchd out, because the next day (sim day) the kittens I’ve picked were outside my house for a split second before they dissapeard. I do have a lot of mods.
Also I get some of the clothes in San Myshuno , but besides geek con , sims shouldn’t be dressing like weirdos in every single festival.
The apartment thing is a bug, even if you let them out they won’t do it , unless you send your sim downstairs and have your pet called.
I actually don't experience this bug at all. My Sim is a city boy born and bred and he's never gonna leave San Myshuno, but he's also never gonna leave his big, bad Rottweiler. Rottweiler Rocco is perfectly able to go outside to pee on his own and actually spends a lot of time roaming the neighborhood, terrorizing tourists and attacking street musicians for no reason at all.
I 100% agree with you, @Orchid13. This patch was useless. I'm still waiting desperately for a fix for the ghost culling bug which is kind of breaking the game for me right now, so I was hoping against hope that that bug might take priority but nope, guess not. And those names. I have at least two townie families called Srivastava, and about 95% of my townies have foreign, seemingly Asian names. I don't mind diversity at all - but this isn't diversity. Apart from my own Sims, I have maybe one or two townies with English names. The rest are all not only non-English, but also exclusively non-Western... and there seems to be a preference for Asian-sounding surnames and Asian-looking Sims with ridiculous CL/Vampires clothing and blonde/red hair colors that don't match their skin tone at all. Where's the diversity in that?
I think the adoption glitched out because I had the front door looked for everyone but household members, because I never had that issue again.

That’s the thing, some bugs should be priorities, like the ones you and I mentioned. The names are driving me crazy. I love diversity , but like you said , it’s not diverse anymore it’s just bugged.
