When it comes to The Sims 4, it feels like there’s a new bug everyday in the base game and in various DLC packs. EA has now promised to combat this and players can expect updates to come in thick and fast from now on.
In Sims 4, anything is possible, especially when you add mods into the mix. However, some bugs and glitches and trying to cause problems wherever they can.
The Sims 4 Laundry List is about to get even longer
In the latest community update, EA say they’ve “assembled a team to invest in the core game experience, including tackling technical issues within The Sims 4.”
The reason for this is due to “reported concerns that have interrupted your The Sims 4 gameplay over time, and we recognize that this has caused much frustration. It’s why we have set out to form this focused team, which will be able to increase both the number of fixes we can address and how often we ship these batched updates. Our goal is to fix more reported concerns, both big and small, over the next six months and beyond to check off more boxes on our Laundry List.”
Fans are urged to keep reporting issues via the Answers HQ webpage. This continues to be the best way to get feedback to the developers.
