The Sims 4 promises more, recurring updates to address bugs and performance problems that have caused the fanbase "much frustration," with the first one coming later this month.
Updates will be made available on Steam, only $0.99 per patched minor bug, $2.99 per game breaking error, and just $9.99 per critical security vulnerability.
You can get a bug season pass with 3 months of fixes and an exclusive butterfly sprite at $119.95, a generous 1% discount off expected retail price.
For $229 you can unlock the super premium pass which gives you access to security updates 3 days before the details are published, and 30 days before non-super-premium pass holders (butterfly sprite not included).
EA account and premium subscription required for purchase.
Oh wow they did the subscriptions too, just like Pdx, but only for the base game and one DLC?! lol
And the DLC list is at 1234€ already. Really can’t blame anyone pirating shit like this. You wouldn’t even have to deal with their shitty DRM app that way either.
I want them to make the Sims 4 feel more chaotic. I’ve been playing the Sims 2 lately and weird shit just kinda happens all the time, either because of relatively harmless bugs that never got fixed or the amount of autonomy that Sims have (edit: or the fact that I recently discovered you can use the moveobjects cheat to place Sims on top of Sims, and if you do it right then they seem to get permanently attached to another Sim). The Sims 4 just feels weirdly flat or something in comparison. It just isn’t as interesting for some reason, and I think it’s just not as chaotic and seemingly determined to derail whatever plans you had for your sim.
Edit: also, something tells me that Project Rene isn’t replacing the Sims 4, and it’s going to be The Sims Online 2 or something. Ironic considering the issues with the Sims 4 mainly stem from it originally being “The Sims Online 2” but then getting hastily turned into a main line Sims game.
Anyway, I bet they’re doing all the bug fixes and performance improvements because EA has made it clear that they’re going to be stuck developing for The Sims 4 for another +5yrs. So now they’re trying to clean everything up so they can keep developing it.
