There might be a third patch update in February

[James3157]

I know that we just had a second patch update on February 6th, but people are still complaining about bugs on this game and some of them are game breaking such as the vacation bug not being fixed yet where currently it might be best right now to ignore going on vacation until its game breaking bug is fixed and various other bugs that were supposed to be fixed from update might still need more fixing. Unclear as to when the third patch update will take place and this Monday might be too early, but I am predicting that The Sims and The Sims 2 will most likely be getting a third patch update this month. The reason why I have not purchased The Sims 2 Legacy Collection yet is because it apparently still needs a lot more fixing. The most game breaking bugs such as pink soup (unclear as to why this bug could not be fixed properly), vacation bug and traveling to other locations bugs that result in being stuck on a loading screen, disappearing sims and pets, losing saved games, and the food bug apparently still need to be fixed in addition to fact that EA devs need to find a way if possible to reduce the frequency of crashes on The Sims 2.

It is worth mentioning that the examples I mentioned that still need fixing are only just a few examples (such as for example CaS might still be bugged for some people) and there could be more. Important to keep in mind that there may be some bugs that cannot be fixed with mods meaning that it requires EA devs to fix them. If I had to take a guess the third patch update for The Sims and The SIms 2 might take place as early as this Wednesday, Thursday, or even Valentines Day (despite it taking place on a Friday and probably will not take place on that day but I could be wrong).

It looks like my prediction was correct. A third patch update for February. The devs need to keep on fixing this game before I even consider buying The Sims 2 on Steam. It must be embarrassing to make an attempt to fix something and it still being broken, but the game needs to be made more playable. Especially when considering the fact it costs money instead of it being free.

They put out a patch today, and at least they're supporting the game,. People have no idea how huge it really is.

People will complain about anything.

And they have every right to. They advertise to us a game that has some basic issues resolved, quality of life features, and so forth on release day and the game we get is a worse experience than what you would get if you just installed the game with every retail disc (or got lucky and got the Ultimate Collection) and used fan patches and fixes on that.

They have released a product inferior to one that on hand a number of people have owned and played with for a little over a decade while also giving to people who may not have ever touched these games before a far worse experience than what it was previously.

The fact that this is a big game with all sorts of moving parts to it that probably would only be rivaled by any given Bethesda title in the last thirty years is not an excuse. Yeah it's rough to the devs that from the release of this product forward it's nothing but complaints, bug reports, and so much more. I don't blame the devs though.

I blame EA for clearly not putting in the effort they have shown themselves capable of when handling a release like this in the past for a game franchise that has raked them in lodes-o-money.

This isn't some needless ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ whining and moaning, a literal better product exists that you can't legally buy. This is a service issue and EA is clearly aware of the effects of their poor service issues because they are cracking down on sites that cater to those wanting a better service.
