Decided to play for a bit anyway seeing as I'd just spent god knows how long updating, fixing and figuring out how to get it to even run and it just gets worse from there. Loaded up a save file and straight away the world looks all jacked up, objects floating in thin air, textures not loading in properly, some objects just missing completely from the world and no other sims about whatsoever. Thought that would be the end of it and I could go on my merry way playing my 7th generation family. Realised something, somewhere along the way had somehow changed the game to run in compatibility mode as administrator? Turned that off once I realised and finally managed to open up the game. Repaired the game which took forever with Origin lagging, freezing and glitching out every flipping five minutes (I have an i7 processor why is this even a thing? Origin is a waste of space if you ask me). Origin would close as if it was going to load and then Origin would pop right back up again. It's a good flavor pack overall, even if it doesn't add much to the mechanics of the game. Rooms sometimes also bug out and prevent the placement of doors into some wall sections, even when there's no obstructions or level differences across adjoining rooms. Adding a wall to a room will sometimes change levels in adjoining rooms, deleting doors and windows. Levels feel really buggy to build with right now. Lifestyles are bugged in my current game where I have six all currently active, even though the interface summary can't fit more than two and the lifestyle section specifically says that I shouldn't have more than two active at a time Polite introductions don't count toward the 'Introduce yourself people in three neighborhoods' achievement for the city dweller path, and polite sims can only introduce themselves that way Enjoying the pack, but still seeing a fair amount of obvious bugs after having a chance to play it more:
