Ugh... getting so agitated with these BUGS!!! It's getting to the point I can't even play the game. Not an hour into the game and my toddler's needs are so low and nothing I do aside from cheating will fill his needs. He won't stay asleep and he won't eat cancelling the actions before they can even start filling. So trying to push past this so I can play the game despite the fact that my toddler could get taken away any second as he's on the verge of death I try to have a group gathering when...
They go to hang out by the fire when her and her son catch on fire. Luckily they were able to put themselves out in the pool but NO SURPRISE here non of them can put the fire out. Now they're all outside the lot and the toddler passed out on the ground and nothing I can do to stop it but quit the game!!!

It seems to happen when a Toddler cannot properly put down a tablet, book, toy, etc. They can't potty, they can't be bathed, they can't be seated in a high chair.
To clear that, simply CTRL+Shift+C and do resetsim [firstname] [lastname] with the name of the Toddler. The book, tablet, toy or whatever it was may end up somewhere strange, but the kid will be able to have their needs addressed.
Don't get me wrong I love this game but these bugs is killing the gameplay here lately. And I don't even have island Living yet. I'm sorry but it can get annoying to keep resetting your sim bcuz their bugged or stuck. I might just wait to play when they have the toddler issue fixed but for now I'll try the reset tomorrow but if it keeps happening where I have to constantly reset my sim I'm just gonna break from gameplay till the issue is updated.
I just hope they address soon because I do love to play this game, it's my escape.
It seems like every patch certainly fixes many issues... but it also ends up breaking many things as well. I miss the days when a patch simply fixed issues and that was it...
For now, I'm just building lots and creating families for my next playthrough... mostly because of the bugs the recent pack brought into the game. The game is unplayable for me right now... I just hope they listen to us and fix these issues soon... I don't wanna have to wait until next month either... we shouldn't have to.
Another major bug that's been happening is at restaurants... whenever my Sims start eating their food, another Sim will come over and just steal it from them... it's so annoying! Also, I've noticed that they don't even drink their beverages with their food anymore either... and that's also disappointing. Thankfully, I've seen other people having this issue too... so it's good to know that it's a bug. Not just my game or file.

I don't think that is a fair assessment at all. Bug fixes are hard, and the studio is also under pressure to produce new content. We know they do want to fix bugs because, even if a new batch just popped up (it's inevitable with new content) we also just got a bunch of them fixed.
Hearing that the devs don't care bothers me, because of course they do. These are people whose passion is games. They want to make content that is engaging and fun and - most of all - that actually works.
But there is a limited budget of resources and developers, multiple priorities, and things take time. Please consider the implication of your words before you make accusations.
Bugs do happen. Nobody likes them. I give new content plenty of time to not be new before I dive in specifically to avoid the worst frustrations. Of course they want them fixed. Ideally, they want them not to have happened. Be patient.
Yeah of course things take time, these people have had over 4 years and there are still bugs that remain from release day. Save your speech about their passion and thinking about what we say, they have had plenty of time to tackle those bugs as well as many other that plague the game.
They have already dropped their patch releases significantly since they launched the game. We used to get bug fixes on a monthly basis, now it’s just whenever they release it. No structure, and worst of all 9 times out of 10 the patch is full of very minor bugs. That coupled with the state this same studio left Sims 3, yeah save the speech about their passion. They don’t have it for this game.
I think they care. Clearly they're slowly making efforts to fix the bugs. At the same time though fixing bugs shouldn't really cause more bugs. It all seems a bit unprofessional to me that a well established game company like Maxis/EA is releasing buggy broken content and allowing it to remain in such a buggy state for so long. Don't they test these things before they release them? The new expansion patch has left the game in a far worse state than it was before for me personally.
My sims are happily eating spoiled food. They look disgusted as they eat it but they carry on eating it anyway.
Sims are stealing food in restaurants.
Vampires are still broken and many more bugs still remain from a long time ago.
I can totally understand peoples frustration at this point.
No. Just no. Pull your head out. This is EA. A $5B a year (and declining) company. They are a top 3 video game publisher.
Small independent companies can fix their bugs and maintain a playable product just fine.
Just stop.
We should expect triple A performance from a triple A company.
It sounds like you've already left the game and come back in, and that should fix the problem with toddlers getting stuck to things. (You can save the game and just quit to 'manage worlds' - you don't have to lose your progress or quit the game altogether. Taking the toddler into CAS apparently works, too.) And the little monsters are sneaky - they won't have anything in their hands, but you tell them to potty, and suddenly, you see that book or toy come out.
Anyway, the point is, if you've already quit the game and come back in and the toddler still can't do anything, I don't think it's the same bug.

Resetting doesn't always help though. I have two toddlers and when I try to reset one of them it says Sim not found. Luckily he's not the heir
Mods almost never actually break the game... that's honestly just often an excuse for them to use.

@Sindocat exactly. Anyone who rides the developers' behinds is just ignorant. Developers do not run the company or call any of the shots.
Anyone who "expects" the developers to answer to their complaints or "expects" there to be no bugs needs to "pull their head out" and "just stop". Plus also "expect" to equate their complaints and expectations to their own intelligence. If you don't have the intelligent capactiy to accept reality, don't expect delusions.
