Things that Should work...

BlogpostPublished: Apr 10, 2011Views: 470

So, we're just about to get a new Expansion Pack...which is good, as I think we're overdue (aren't I greedy!), and it looks like it could be good one...but...Why are there still things in the game that Still don't work!? We all have a different style of play, but most of the little issues affect most people at some point....

Number One: Why is it still telling me that my game launcher isn't working? It is working..the game loads..I'm playing it..It's there in front of my face..yet it tells me nearly every time I play that it isn't! Which isn't too much of a bad thing, I know, but on my PC it logs every problem every time it happens..I have a log stuffed full of Launcher problems!!

Number Two: I want to play several families, this is supposed to be what the game is about (isn't it? the fact that the storyline continues?!) and if I do their houses disappear so it looks like I have an empty hood, which means: A: it looks Poo..and B: I can't take screenshots!! It's not my PC, it can handle all the graphics wazzed up, so why the disappearing lots..I've stopped playing multiple families bacause of this. (Boooo!)

Number Three: Barnacle Bay. I love it. I love the layout. But why all the celebs?! The celeb thing is ok if I want to play Bridgeport...I expect them..But Barnacle Bay? Is that why they've brought out a new version?? (Booo!)

Number Four: WA..the Adventure Boards (I've seen a lot of comments about this)..to be fair I only have a real problem with France at the moment..But I can't complete all the tombs..I tried moving my entire Sim Family and house to a new game..But now there are NO adventures!! PLease fix that EA, it's driving me nuts...

I'm sure that I could go on allllll day (but I'll sound like a whingey Cow!) but to be honest, the reason I keep coming back, time and time again..is that I love the Sims. I've been playing since Sims1 came out, and I've seen the changes and updates and it has got better and better with each version..but it would be nice if all those little niggly things, that seem to have been around for a while, were fixed..I'd love to play a perfect game :-)

And now the latest glitchy thing...I've built a really nice lot..it's in pending in my submissions...I built it where the Goths were in SV, I moved them out..if I go to Map Mode I can see the Goths house where I've built my new lot..but when I go to Live Mode, there's my house..go figure!?! Weird or what? Is it me or does this seem that the games are getting glitchier?

Fred here agrees with all of you $\:D$ $\:wub\:$ ... oh... no Mangio... no NRaas mods to fix things that should be fixed by EA... $\:\($ Lost the house in Egypt... where did it go? Come on EA... FIX the game and keep your expensive store bundles bundled. Maybe ... when I am rich... I might spend 160 US $ on a bundle, but ONLY when the game works like it should be working.... $\:\($

Flody..agree about the store stuff..I have a light that I downloaded from the store that is sitting in build mode under fences!? Nuts!  And I've seen the Mod for the Adventure boards, Mangio..but hey..why should we use Mods to correct stuff?! Nuts again $\:D$ $\:D$

Using NRaas Story Progression will allow you to play sims 2 style or so it says $\;\)$ I hate how the tomb thing works. I think there's a mod out there somewhere to help you with the Adventure's Board thing.. recently the thing about the launcher not working has popped up once which is unusual cause it does. $\:D$ EA are just lazy, i bet there soaking up money and not bothering about potential happier customers $\:mad\:$
