I just got (and yes, I reported it in the still open thread about it and clicked the "Me Too" button) the "Romance Festival Is Bugged And Won't De-spawn" bug.
And it's worse than before, I have waited all night during the romance festival, it is now 9am in my game and there are still three pillars and two tables that belong to the festival that refuses to de-spawn and block things in the square (the busk place is unusable because a pillar goes right thru it, for example).
What is irritating me the most is that the devs first said it was fixed back in 2016 but there is still an open thread on it because well, it wasn't. Now (from Summer 2019) they admit in the thread they can't really reproduce it despite getting save files sent to them.
The thread is STILL open, because people are still reporting it now in 2020.
My feedback is simple: If it is impossible to fix, disable one of the two festivals permanently, it seems obvious to me that the code just don't support two festivals in the same square no matter what...

I haven’t opened up my game to test this but wow that’s crazy to me.
This thread reminded me of that. If something is not working, should it be removed until it is working again? Hmm idk because it probably works for some people so those would be missing out.
And there were lots of smaller ones with both 2&3 that were never addressed. It doesn't spark much hope.
So I'd be really sad if they disabled one of the two festivals.
The thing is, the Devs can't fix a bug they aren't personally able to find. I create careers for Sims 3 and sometimes, somebody will find a bug I just cannot reproduce. As a result, I can't fix it if I can't find it - it's impossible, isn't it? People have different game setups - a variety of different packs installed, some use CC and mods, others don't. Those that do might have one out of date. A lot of things could be a factor here but if not everybody's getting the bug, then it's not something that's easily fixed. Removing the festivals because a small percentage are having trouble with it isn't right because the feature isn't universally broken. The shower/tubs combo was a bit different - everybody had that. So removing it probably is the best option until they can solve that issue but removing the festivals when it's not a universal issue isn't going to work. It's nobody's fault here - it's just a difficult issue to reproduce when not everybody is getting it.
Exactly This is a VERY common bug, that either has never been fixed OR has been re-introduced several times over. It is also very disruptive and have now rendered the Fashion District unusable for me forever in this save.
Even though I've never seen this bug, I would like this toggle. There are times when I would be happy to turn the festivals off for awhile. I don't feel the need to have them all the time.
This would be the best solution for this problem, since not everyone gets the bug. I have had it off and on. It can be very frustrating, but I don't have it all the time, so I wouldn't want festivals disabled completely.
I've never had that bug. I'm very sorry you're having problems though, have you tried AHQ?
Yes. As I said I have reported it (again). And as I said the devs first claimed this was fixed back in 2016 (in the bug report at AHQ), then had to come back and admit that no, it wasn't (in 2018, which means they thought they had fixed it for two years, in the same thread at AHQ) and asking for save files since they need help fixing it (also in 2018).
The thread is still going, people (like me) keep posting "me too" and "still broken" to this day, in a bug report filed first in 2016.
BAD is the only word to describe it.
Need For Speed, FIFA, Star Wars, ALL EA games are full of bugs and bad code continually being pointed out in the forums and all users get the same short shove aside by EA. This attitude seems to be endemic in the entire company.
EA seem to have deep seated problems around ethics and satisfactory work.
Well, is it up to the user to sort this by giving our hard earned moneys to someone else?
Does anybody at EA even give a 🐸🐸🐸🐸?
And you auto edited out a single last word that is a legit word of the English Language, you are so sad EA.
Couldn't help but think of...
"We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky."
Hahaha. I totally read that with Morpheus' voice in my head.
Haha that's how it was meant to be read
It is my favorite world, and my favorite pack.
I'll see that and raise you an I Hate Cities Period! ROFL.
Is a countryboy and doesn't even like visiting any city, they smell bad!
