This is what's wrong with TS2 IMO.
Chaavik:
You hit the issue right on the nail, Beosboxboy with a very well-written post about the problems most of us encountered upon buying these EPs and installing them.
I didn't start playing TS2 until about 2 or 3, maybe 4, months after the base game was released because at the time, I was having a blast with TS1.
Until Maxis or whatever they're called now can prove they have people with intelligence and two opposable thumbs can do a better job on the future EPs for TS2 and maybe TS3, I will reconsider. I don't know why Maxis allowed such a craptastic EP, Bon Voyage, to be released in a pathetic state with lots of bugs and incompatibility issues to the public. They obviously didn't have a good QA team for BV..
At least they didn't screw up Sims 2 Castaway for PS2..
Sam the T-man:
They couldn't afford to, as you can't patch a console game. Not PS2 or previous, anyway.
@Yakov: Have you ever directed these verbose complaints to the guys themselves (like the Maxoids, or even higher if you were a tester)? If so, what was the outcome? If not, give it a go, they should see them. Re. Pets: This is your personal opinion. Slap me if you want, but I'm quite happy with it (mind you, I love animals and wish I could keep a cat myself). Yes they could have added more, maybe I've just been lucky with my EPs, but I haven't had half the problems others have had with that EP. Apart from the notorious flashing blue of course, but that's so widespread Pescado's added a fix to his lot debugger. The other bugs mentioned are indeed unforgiveable - I wonder myself sometimes if they even have a QA team. They should be paying the modders for fixing their mistakes! I wonder if MSam's still looking for volunteer beta testers...?
BeosBoxBoy:
Sadie - I most assuredly did address my reports to the software engineers at EA, and to my knowledge the Maxoids are not in any way really connected to EA but all employed by the "web presence and tech support" 3rd party service provider contracted by EA, like Clientlogic and other call centre companies. I sent my complaints and reports directly to EA corporate, the BBS is a facade of lies.
Sam the T-man:
Oh wonderful, so not even the Maxoids have much to do with the game? :-\ So, this is probably a silly question, but what happened when you sent off your reports? I suppose hearing anything (promising) back would be expecting too much...? :dontknow:

Most likely hardly-at-all-payed-near-enslaved students like with any other major corporation. It's pretty useless to adress some helpline since these folks usually know less about the issues than the caller. It's the same with phone companies or ISPs.
