Also, feel free to explain what you want fixed as well.
Some have issues understanding the concept of the options here, so a quick run-down:
Expansion packs: bugs specifically in the EPs- ie Dine out, Get to Work.
Game Packs: bugs specific to game packs.
Stuff packs: bugs specific to SPs.
Kits: bug fixes in kits
Base game: General gameplay- needs decay, general mechanics.
Overall pack Integration: ie why not have a real, blood-sucking vampire in Batuu- being able to feast on the smugglers?

*edit* but if I had to name one of them... that bug where you go to CAS and it completely slows down your game till you hit escape... that bug has been in the game FOREVER, and it impacts a huge portion of the game.
What bugs?
I don't need EA to fix anything else in my game than the bugs, everything else is fine for me.
It may not necessarily seem as broken as it could be sometimes, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have problems with the way it is made to function. It is still a game that was originally an online multiplayer game, last second converted into a single player offline game. It has limitations, some which the team have expressed to us over the years, and probably a lot more that they have not. It's why there's such a focus on BB/CAS, especially within the last few years and the introduction of kits (that don't come with a "hero" gameplay object the way stuff packs did (and in the case of the little campers kit, those gameplay objects are just reskins, so nothing new)).
I'd love to see more pack integration. It's one of my biggest problems with HSY not functioning with Parenthood (and GT but to a lesser extent). But I'm curious how much of the lack of integration is due to just the way they've decided to make packs work this gen (which would be... an interesting choice), or if it's a base game problem 🤔
Just have someone sit down and figure out how a new pack or kit would impact other packs or kits. Heck, if they want, I'll do it. I'll make flow charts and everything. Just buy me coffee and give me an air conditioned room to sit in.
This is a call to fix bugs in certain areas first.
And I actually agree with this. I hope EA pays attention to these threads I'm starting.
Base-game issues, then.
Definitely agree with this, what kind of maid service doesn't come equipped with their own vacuum cleaner? Anyway, restaurants in my game are really bugged lately, it's not just the chefs that wait on the sidewalk, but now the customers don't sit at their tables to eat their meals, they grab them form the table and eat them standing up, even my owned played sim does that.
I just edited the top page so it's clearer.

Base game.
Overall pack integration is definitely needed, but generally if there are too many bugs to play some packs, what use is integration? Set a team on fixing base game issues, adding more gameplay and integrating packs with base game features such as wants/fears. At the same time, set other teams on updating/refreshing and fixing the various packs. Each team could probably handle one EP, one GP and one SP. Start with the ones with most problems and work your way down. Integration could be worked with as a part of that.
I think they need to search for the root causes to bugs where problem isn't say "werewolves using umbrellas" or " swimming sims using umbrellas"
but it is "sims reaching for umbrellas autonomously and even when they do not own one"
if you just fix the werewolves using umbrellas part then the umbrellas continue to be glitchy in other situations and future situations
this is only the most obvious example but i am sure there is many we can't even track but are just caused by something silly that is not well thought out
its just don't fix issue that is caused by bigger issue just fix the bigger issue the smaller issue will be gone
also obviously at the moment i am definitely wanting that fame and aging bug gone since its making me unable to play my main save

I set it up this way since I can't add a poll for each expansion pack as well as base game and pack integration. It's not intended to be general, but rather identify where the real issues lie.
