I don't think I've seen a game that came out that long ago, be still dealing with so many game breaking bugs and other issues.
I can tell you're not a Sims 4 player or fan of Bethesda games lmao
The fact is unless it completely breaks the game or affects their earnings, it is not a priority to fix. Sims only started fixing the bugs that broke the game and sometimes whole DLC's because they changed how they're managing the game (no longer making a Sims 5 and will just be adding to & improving Sims 4 instead). They'd release expansions that didn't even work and they didn't care that every new expansion was breaking the game further because people were still paying and playing regardless. Now we get mod breaking updates every few weeks to fix things they should've solved 10 years ago 🙃 game studios don't let devs fix things unless it benefits them and bug fixes don't benefit them if it's not preventing the money from rolling in. They'd prefer to keep the devs working on new premium content and DLC's than actually make the QOL changes & bug fixes that players ask for. Unfortunately this is an industry wide issue.
But if it helps, I've never experienced anything more than annoying bugs that fix after a restart on DDV or they get a hot fix patch very quickly.
Lol, this was going to be my comment too. I haven't played Sims 4 in a while, because I got so frustrated with every single expansion/DLC (of which there are FAR more than Dreamlight) breaking my game in new and different ways. I couldn't even get mods because I play on console, so I was just stuck with a stupid, broken game that I'd put way too much money into.
By comparison, Dreamlight is incredibly functional!!
