Has anybody else noticed this? Whenever any bugs from GTW
do get fixed in patches, it's usually one or two minor bugs. Are GTW bugs just considered low-priority due to it being an older EP? If that really is the case, then it shouldn't be! GTW bugs, in my opinion, are among the most severe bugs in the game. For example, the
alien discovery bug (which is
three years old now) and the bug where doctors insist on taking new patients to occupied beds.
Please consider giving GTW bugs the attention they deserve!

Yeah, that I could understand if that were the case. Clearly with the alien discovery bug, the game is incapable of distinguishing between disguised and undisguised aliens, and seems to default to "disguised" even when aliens aren't in disguise. I have no experience with this kind of thing, so I wouldn't even know where to begin with finding the root cause of the issue.

I wouldn't know, unfortunately. I've avoided playing aliens for so long due to the alien discovery bug that I couldn't tell you.
Sometimes it can take more than two in-game hours to put a patient in a bed because your doctor keeps insisting on trying to put them in an occupied bed.
Just the other day my doctor did this after doing an x-ray on this one patient. He went to almost all five of the occupied beds before finally putting the patient back in their bed. It's always the exact same patients every day, too. For me, Baako Jang, Katrina Caliente, Mortimer Goth, and the landlord are always, without fail, the patients in bed upon first arriving at the hospital. Sometimes they aren't even sick.
And it gets worse. If my doctor gets a house call, those exact same Sims will be the ones who are sick, and they're always in the hospital beds AGAIN when he goes back, even though he already treated them twice! Not to mention, he's still completely and totally obsessed with the snack machine, constantly wanting a soda even with a full hunger bar. Thank goodness they at least fixed the issue where funds would be subtracted immediately and not refunded. Well, mostly. The funds are still subtracted immediately, but at least it's refunded if I cancel the action.
And what of the alien discovery bug? I'll have you know that it's STILL going strong. Seriously, aliens night at the bar? That sounds like fun until you actually get there. There's a good chance that you might see aliens die of embarrassment, human Sims die of cardiac explosion, or both. Heck, your own Sim might even be the one who dies! And this is all because the human Sims are entirely convinced that all aliens are in disguise by default, even when they very obviously aren't! Heck, you even get Sims who get angry at "discovering" aliens on their own home planet!
Aliens have been almost completely unplayable for three years, EA. Three. Years.
I've heard many simmers say that they think that GTW is largely ignored because it's an older EP, but I'm starting to have doubts on that. If you go digging, you'll find many old threads complaining about these exact same issues in 2015, right after GTW first came out. This means that they were unaddressed even when people were first reporting them.
Please fix GTW, EA. Please.
I TOTALLY AGREE!
phew I am happy about this because I have been waiting forever to play that career again.
The biggest bug of GTW is that restocking is completely free. Only salaries are taken away from the budget, recosting costs never. When shop owners do the restocking themselves, the costs are not even shown in the statistics.
Yeah I have been doing the workaround but sheesh I really wish they would fix some of these things.
Exactly. To get around the assistant bug (where the assistant doesn't sit at the desk but at the curbside) I have to sell and buy a new computer every shift. It's heck of annoying and I wish it would be fixed. There are still quite a lot of bugs in GTW.
You can easily get in contact with the gurus if you post at the EA Anwers HQ forum. They are aware of all mentioned bugs.
