Y'know what? i'm in a MOOD and we're gonna talk about it
First of all, I'm not trying to fight anyone or start beef with anyone in the community (unless you're the CEO of EA in that case PULL UP) so don't come for me? I love this community and this game. I'm just bringing light to a few things that I feel we have a right to discuss.
My Wedding Stories is riddled with glitches and bugs, as you can tell if you watch or see ANY of the EA game changers posts on it. Some core features are almost unplayable. Like, have we ever seen an early access release be THIS buggy? It's kind of incredible that the original release date was the 17th because it obviously was not going to be ready in time. Some of the issues people are experiencing are: wedding venues NOT letting you throw weddings (lol), wedding cakes spoiling instantly, guests not paying attention to toasts/first dances, guests not wearing formal attire, flower pals/guests not following directions, etc. All of those sounds like pretty integral parts of a wedding themed pack. I mean, even in the OFFICIAL livestream it was buggy as hell.. If you want more examples you can watch Plumbella's video or neecxle's because it sums up a bunch of the glitches and bugs people are experiencing. I do understand that the version that has been sent to the game changers is NOT the final copy, but still: If the original release date was the 17th, how much would they have been able to fix before the release? How much WILL they end up fixing? That's still to be determined, but Let's take a moment to look back on one of the most buggy game packs. Dine Out. I still experience bugs with this pack, you most likely still experience bugs with this pack. Hmmmm. I wonder when it came out?

5+ YEARS! and this is just a fraction of the (recent-ish) google searches talking about dine out bugs. You'll find SO MANY MORE in the forums, for countless other EPs and GPs as well.

This pack is STILL broken! We've been begging them for how long? They throw in ONE dine out bug fix every.... six months to a year maybe'? In my opinion, EA has absolutely proven they have become content with releasing buggy, somewhat unfinished content and they know they can get away with it because a (fairly large) majority will just grab onto the next pack or kit and forget about the glaring inadequacies of other packs. They are a multi Billion dollar company who has had a professional, highly skilled team working on this game for over 7 years and yet modders who often ask for nothing in return seem to be able to do it better than them. littlemssam, bienchen mods and the like are literal blessings to this community if you ask me. How many times have we seen modders release 'emergency mods' after new packs/patches to attempt fix the game? EA really seems to put so little time and effort into proper playtesting and bug/glitch fixing and release such.. subpar products? If they just put a BIT more effort into the actual game, a lot of the issues could have been avoided. Instead of that, though, they're like there's 8 more cas + build/buy kits coming out this quarter and don't forget to buy journey to batuu on sale 50% off this week only!
We are consumers. We are ALLOWED to want a decent product that is (relatively) bug free. A lot of us have invested upwards of a THOUSAND dollars into this game? I really don't think it's too much to ask for less buggy releases. I just wish that we as a community would hold EA more accountable for the amount of bugs and glitches that can still be found in the vanilla game to this day and the bugs and glitches that always haunt every new release because they have consistently sold unfinished products to make the most income lol
