Current General Game Bug List

Updated: Feb. 2019

This list is no longer being updated, due to the amount of bugs there are in-game. It's easier to search on them when asked about.

This was made to clear up some of the stickied BUG posts on the Gameplay Help board and put them all in one place for easier reference.

If you find you are experiencing a game bug, let us know. We'll try to help search it out with you!!

Quick Links:

If you find you have any game bugs, please go over to the answer.ea.com (AHQ) forum using the link below and on the first post you should see a Me Too button under it. Click it to help show that others are having similar issues and hopefully that should help get it some attention from the game developers and other Sim Gurus.
