I barely see much activity here on the forum regarding to the fun of playing this game.
I also am stuck in many of my stories due to a lot of disturbing bugs that have not been addressed for some months now. Such as broken careers, building glitches etc.
How is it going for you? Still enjoying your game even though we got no patches, no bug fixes, no news, nothing.
Please keep off-topic chats out of the discussion, thank you!

I do think it's strange, though, that we haven't had any news and no patch. My game is completely vanilla and it's very buggy, my Sims are randomly teleporting back and forth etc. It's the only thing that bothers me right now.
Must mention I don't do actual stories. I very much control my sims, but I don't direct them according to some pre-defined story. That's something I've never done. What happens in game just happens.
I barely notice when we DO get news, so the quiet doesn't bother me. I don't follow them on Twitter, FB or whereever else they post stuff. Would be very nice to have some bug fixes, though. Its very much needed.

The reasons for me are the lack of personality of the sims, the lack of bad stuff to happen to my sims and the lack of unpredictable stuff.
I've given up waiting for this to get better. I used to get excited with new content, expecting somehow that this would improve the game, but it hasn't. So im already almost a year without buying any pack and i don't intend to do it in the future.
Im playing the sims though. Just not the sims 4.
Once I got over the fact that this is not Sims 3, I liked it. Now, I love it. There are a lot more freedoms in build mode though I still miss the pattern swatches and such. I also wish I could build my own custom fishing holes but that's not in this game so I got over it, for the most part. I love the variety of careers, the range of activities and general playability of the game.
As for glitches and whatnot, I've only run into a couple and I'm still waiting for an answer to my solution for one but don't know when/if it will happen. I hope so because if it's not doable, I'd like to know it's not. Other than that though, the game has been great.
As for patches, bugs, news and so on, it seems to me that I've had several updates to my game since I originally installed it. And I also seem to remember reading "news" posts and announcements here and there. I don't remember where though since I rarely check that. If I think the game is good, I feel little need to check the news. That's just how I am though. As for bugs, well bugs happen and I do hope they get them fixed.
So to rate this game I give it 4 stars out of 5.
P.S. I'm guessing you mean "Please keep off-topic chats out of the discussion..."
In my game right now I'm trying to do things I missed or haven't explored yet and there is so much of that. Like today I was playing a spellcaster cause it's hard for me to not play this occult now. Anyway, he doesn't have much money yet. I moved him into a tiny lot with lots of tiny rooms for roomates (haven't touched the roomate system before) and started moving them in. He'll make money on rent while he builds up a friends/romance list at home while trying to avoid getting caught (Serial Romance Aspiration). He's still got lots of skills to learn so I figured moving into a tiny lot gives that boost to all skills is great for him. He might be using all the spells/potions he's learning to his advantage also..... He worked up to a pristine reputation and when he gets job offers by phone I'm starting to snap them up if it's something I never got far in.. because I want him to finish the Renaissance Sim aspiration because I haven't completed it in very long time.
My favorite way to play the sims is to tell stories to myself usually but I'm not feeling very creative recently (that's usually the reason I don't play) so I'm just enjoying things I haven't explored for a long time or ever.
I haven't run into a bug or glitch with the way I'm playing so far, or if I have I haven't noticed it so it hasn't affected my gameplay. I think the only thing I'm noticing is the space is so cramped that routing can look funky now and then... but I kind of expected that and it doesn't bug me.
If it weren’t for CC & mods, I’d honestly would’ve gotten bored after a few months.
This very sentiment, although I didn't start using mods/cc until after a year of playing vanilla. And that year was super eventful and exciting for me anyways because I was new to the mainstream sims games.
Now I don't think I could go back to vanilla without frustration due to the numerous bugs and because I value quality of life enhancements that mods bring.

I'm not having the fun I thought I would with roomates however. One cries in bed, the other plays the violin and neither speaks to my sim.
What's been bothering me more than anything lately is the joker smiles. I even tried shimrod less smiling mod and it didn't work. I believe it was even the cause of glitches. I'm extremely tired of their smiles when it goes against their stories but nothing I can do for now.😡
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
As for me, I currently see TS3 funnier in terms of gameplay, while I enjoy TS4 for building.
I like to build stuff
I also enjoy building and love the different challenges available in the build threads.
When I am stale I play and read and do other things and inspiration comes flooding back.
At the moment the worst bugs that affect me are Active sims getting tense from playing with the soccer ball, sims resetting/t-posing when getting talked to (mostly the co-workers at the police station, not my actively played sim) and bowling getting interrupted by chatting attempts from other sims. "The worst" as in: the ones most noticeable because they come up the most.
I started playing again as I was experimenting with the Slice of Life and Meaningful stories mods, but I decided to load up The Sims 3 and I am so hooked on it right now. I haven't played TS3 since June of last year.
So Eloy is adrift from my established story line, and I don't know him as well - but that is typical with exploration Sims and, when the times comes in my Legacy save, I'll know Sulani well enough to know which Sims to move there. For now, I am enjoying the literal change of scenery, a smaller house again, and all the new BB and CAS assets, as well as the Conservationist career.
