Why can't they just properly update things?

[paulabonsa]

I don't understand why with each update there has to be done so much work, cause now i have to go through all my 600 mods or more to find ones that need to be updated. Since my game has completely broken, and I don't have the time or energy to do this. The sims is my after school game I play to distress a bit put this is not calming at all. If anyone has any better ideas or ways to fix broken mods that won't take that long please let me know! Because i thought it was going to be a small update and did not remove all my mods before, but no it's a big one someone please help me!!

So that you can again use another mod which fix this issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mods-CC-Issues/Broken-Obsolete-and-Updated-Sims-4-Mods-1-110-October-22-2024/m-p/14181824#M68786

because theyre money-hungry, its that simple. they dont allow themselves to take proper time for testing before releasing new content, and rather just try to push it out as fast as possible so that they can make more profit in the long run. because of this there are so many bugs from so many different packs and new features that they are constantly needing to go back and fix

[galaxyleggings]

honestly a terrible system and it really shows how quantity over quality that company is

are the programming team so frickin lazy thus just let the third parties fix the bugs with mod?

It's the same with any game as long as you use mods.

Why should I care? I'm not EA. All I care about is that having a boat lets you go fishing.

How could they test it with the millions of mods and CC out there? I think in the last 5 updates I had ONE mod that was causing CAS not to load. After it was updated, everything else worked just fine.

One of my vampire sims hasn't been the same since the major update. Not even his clones in the gallery are playable without the game changing the face. The pack with the update that "Handsome Squidwards" vamps from an existing pack? I feel discouraged and hesitant to buy/add anything to the game now.

Because every time they bring out new DLC, they have to make sure that it is going to work fine with existing DLC and the base game. That's why.

Ea does not test with all dlc when making updates they just test the new expansion and base game.

How do you know that? It would be logical to test a fully loaded game with all DLC and packs. People on here are experiencing issues with some of the newer DLC packs. And they would likely have all DLC, or most of it. Why would EA only test with the most current DLC?

It depends on DLC. If the DLC offers cross pack feature then they test more as with the base game. Crystal Creation, Death and Life were both tested with more DLC and the livestrem was with all DLC. All in all it depends on the team which works on it and how interesting the team finds the topic. You see a big quality difference if gurus like the topic or not.

Of course if we here only talk about the base game updates nobody knows how they test them. In the end it doesn’t matter. Players will be always the best playtester and will always find bugs which your QA never will encounter.
