ITS NOT WORTH IT!

I'm sorry I made a comment in reguard to how I felt about waiting to get BV. I didn't know it was a crime. And as far as the release of EP's and there problems, BV seems to be the worst. I have bought everey game the first day it came out reguardless of problems. This time I have decided to wait- I like having the hacks and perfer to play with them in there. So, shoot me!
it's not a crime, but don't go all wounded soldier just because there are people out there that don't agree with your opinion
I, for one, have never understood how I never get any real problems with EPs when for so many people a new EP causes game crashes, computer meltdown, bodily warts, brain embolisms, halitosis and all kinds of seemingly apocalyptic problems. Sure, there are a few little minor irritations and of course the endless new obsessive behaviours until some wonderful person can make them 'no autonomous'! but nothing that's going to make me walk away in disgust and wish I'd never bought it
A lot of the hacks that need updating were actually done before I even got my copy of the game - living in the UK we get it a few days later than the US, by which time the most critical mods for me were updated

It's taken me 2 days to come up with a way to defeat their advertising and put in on a reasonable level.
oh please *bats eyelashes* share the wealth!!
personally I do think it's worth it, but Scerebe I do respect the fact that you don't :)

Well I got Pets for more then 6 months after release and only instaled it about 3 weeks ago.
As Seasons I got it as soon as I read that hacks worked with it.
I already got Bv but will not install it untill all hacks I like work with it.
As it seems it is as buggy as Pets probably mot only after hacks are compatible but also as the 1st patch is out.

I have everything you can buy for sims installed and my game is working just fine. One thing you really need to think about is everything you are downloading if you really need it and are going to use it I have 7.58gb with stuff in my download folder, that is 14918 files in 284 folders.Before I cleaned up my download I have more then twice of everything and the game acted a bit funny sometime.
I never have had big problems with sims that have made the game unplayable and I have always bought all stuff for sims the first day it has been available.If the EP that you are buying have a bug you know that EA will release a fix for it as soon as they can.
Sins I love the game so much and it's the only game I am playing I just buyswhat ever that is being released because I know I will love it and I know EA will take care of the problems if there are some.
I have been doing this with sims since the first sims 1 was released.I don't know how much money I have spend on the sims one serie and now the sims two serie,I don't regret one single swedish krona that have spend on this game through the years.
And that is also the reasong for why I donate to the insimenator site,I love the game and I love all the ppl making stuff for it that I uses in my game everyday

I was just listening to the song "Under Pressure" and thinking that's probably what the programmers were going though. Pressure from management to meet a deadline and have something ready for it's scheduled release, and as long as it did what it says on the box: "Now, your sims can go on vacations!" it didn't matter if it has a few glitches.
We're a gaming family. I'm a Sims-addict, my husband and sons are into shooters, and my oldest boy will play any video game he can get his hands on with the exception of "Barbie's Dream World" and "Dora the Explorer." haha Right now, we have in our kitchen, "Game Fuel by Mountain Dew" that is an advertisement for Halo 3. Not to be outdone, I am drinking Diet Pepsi that has a promotion for Madden 08 going. My long-winded point is that this is video game release season, and I'm sure that all the programers are under more pressure than we realize to churn our a product in time for the holidays.
It is not an excuse for them by any means. . . I too am as angry as Deviency right now over the many recalls in the past few months. I had to sneak into my children's room while they were gone and toss out some of their toys because they were on the recall list. I had to throw out Peanut Butter because it had been recalled, and regret using it to make cookies with my kids before I knew it was recalled! This is the materialistic culture we live in, for better or worse. I don't have a solution.

There's a solution but it requires an ulcer ;). Actually it's just about boycotting companies that create products that are half assed. THousands of parents should be outside of Mattel's company protesting as well as boycotting their toys. Mattel released a statement claiming they're going to be good now, but the toys have had lead in them for nearly 20 years. And you know whats sad? I mean what got lead in the toys and mercury in the fish and drugs in the cows. Then we wonder why there's been a hike in children born with autism. If we had a government that worked, Mattel would have been shut down.
But boycotting works, love em or hate em.. Peta has got companies to comply on a lot of things because of boycotting as well as protesting. If Peta cared about kids, they'd have had Mattel shut down by now. But Mattel isn't the only one to blame on the issue with your kids toys. Walmart continues to deal with China and you have to understand that China is a hell hole. They're hybrid of capitalism and communism, so you got one half of the country in total poverty and another half livin' the 90210 lifestyle. So I doubt they really care about barbie being laced with lead.
As for Maxis.. I get the impression EA pushes them to meet specific dates regardless if the software is totally tested. I just don't understand how they made so many coding mistakes though and why they tried to use alternative coding for woohoos on different things when the same code would have worked. So yeah, these mistakes won't always show up on the users end right away. But seriously, those of you without problems.. be cautious of the memory leak.
The lag I'm going through is at times is gone now because of the steps I posted on another thread. However, I'm still getting random crashes and random black screens of death. Not fun.. especially if I haven't saved in awhile. But sometimes there's a warning, when the sim goes to do something the game will go to a blue screen and the hourglass will roll around.. then the game will come back. That means "save and quit".. because a crash is on the way. That's due to the memory leak, pretty sure at least. I hope they release a patch.. sniff..
