I have also seen that when another SP or EP comes out, there are updates on those that fix previous bugs, so maybe that will be the case, one can only hope.
Yep, Saltypaws, EA's in a strange situation with the Sims franchise, in that a large enough percentage of folks who "buy-into" the game usually end up buying at least one (and from the numbers I've seen, most buy a majority) of the Expansion Packs.
On really gnasty bugs or game issues, usually the development team working on the
next Expansion Pack is tasked with "fixing" the bug (and then they tear-off the code-fixes for a game "patch" or "update" for those in the customer base that don't purchase the EP). For huge bugs, they can even have the next "Stuff Pack" team implement / integrate the code fixes.
I know I'm impatient sometimes and I know it takes time to work out the kinks, but I would think that they would take the time to make sure one is working right before putting another one out!
Hehe Esther1981, yeah. But by they get all the kinks fixed, usually another EP or SP is on the scene that introduces completely different problems.
Although I think EA's really dropped the ball on the possibilities offered by "The Store" to keep those of us with a short attention-span happy, overall I'm very pleased with how stable my current install of the Sims3 is.
