Fudge The Sims 4, Right Now!

All I can warn is "Save Periodically"! Just spent about 2 hours working on my house, all three floors, roof, wall papers.. Furniture(with custom colors..) Interiors, the works..
Game crashed.. Lost 2 hours of building - Fk this game! This is the main/only reason I quit playing Sims 3. I'm a builder, I could care less about the characters in the game.. Needs an auto-save feature every 5-10 min!

I have to wait another 2 days yet until I can get my pre-order of Sims 4 premium edition from EB Games but hearing about it performing this badly does not sound too good although I suppose bugs are to be expected on release. Thanks for the warning in advance though Fluxxx_tasy

That language is a bit crude.....anyways.

I believe there is an autosave and always good to save often, no matter what you do. That is one thing people always tell anyone that does anything on the computer-writing, playing a game, drawing, etc...

And make sure the game and graphics is compatible (check different settings) and have no cc (any cc made with the demo won't work). Keep in mind that it is launch day and there may be a few bugs. Some were already fixed with patches and more will be fixed soon. Don't know what crashed your game, multiple things could of caused it.

Personally I rather test the game myself as some people had problems and others didn't. Same goes for the other games. Sims 2 works fine with me (no crashing or black boxes) but some friends had problems with graphics and others had no problems with Sims 3 and loved it, while for me it was a nightmare. I don't know how well Sims 4 will do for me. People saying bad things before the release, so I don't know who to believe.

I'm so disappointed in this game... I spent 2 hours playing without saving and it crashed. Also, the gameplay is just plain bad... I knew it would be more game like, than realistic (or at least compared to sims 3) but this game is just bad. I'm so disappointed. It's like they took sims 1 and sims 2 and combined them with a little more complicated emotions.

You need to wait for patches. For any game in existence there will be bugs at release.

That's not the only reason why I'm mad. I'm mad at the whole game. They don't even have todlers and the furniture you put the baby in is just like the one from sims 1 where u can't even do anything with your baby. And my baby came out like Edward scissor hands. Completely distorted.

Wasn't the auto-save one of the promoted new features of TS4? Did you checked to see if it was enabled in the Options or something? As much as I can sympathize a bit, because I too would be annoyed, don't you think you're being a tad over-dramatic? Its just a game, and it was just 1 set-back. For all you know that could be one of the few to happen in your entire TS4 gaming experience in the coming months... hopefully.

Sim games have always crashed on me. It really sucks, so I know your pain. Whenever it happens to me, I usually change things up a bit when I play again.

It's 70 dollars down the drain. That's what it is.

Let me know if you are disappointed like I am.

You made an account here and the first thing you started doing was ranting about how disappointed you are...
Crashes, bugs and glitch issues should be taken to the devs themselves in the official forums, not an unofficial community. All you're going to achieve with that attitude here is getting yourself labeled as a hater and someone who's just keen on spreading bad rumors and drama. Try to be more rational and constructive if you want help from others.

It sounds to me you already had a negative pre-disposition towards the game, even before you started playing it. How else would one explain your attitude after a single set-back in the first hours of gaming post-launch? I honestly think that a true fan would have had a different attitude from yours. And don't say its because you invested money on it... because we all did.

Besides, one of the selling features of TS4 was that it was going to automatically save the game every 10-15 minutes. And even if it doesn't work, you should be able to save your progress manually... like we always did in the previous games. Not to mention we don't even know the true source of your problem. Could be EAxis's faults, could be your computer.

The Sims 3 was glitchy when it came out so you seriously need to calm down and like how ivory said, making an account here just to rant has void meaning. Unless if you like writing in caps and cursing, otherwise, theres nothing we can do here to make you happy.

My game didn't crash or anything so I can't relate in the first place. Do you have other games on your computer?

Because of the fear of crashing, whenever I build a lot I save like every half hour
Seems autosave only applies to live mode. Or is on defauly off.

I did a small google search on the issue and people seem to be saying that the auto-save is by default on, with no way to turn it off. But I think you may be correct on your assumption - the auto-save doesn't work while building because, technically speaking, the game is paused. In any case, did you checked the INI files of the game? Its the manual (and more complete) alternative to the in-game options.

Sims 4 has an autosave feature. I saved my game with the intention of exiting and then when I went to upload it again there was my save and a 20 min later autosave that happened when I stepped away from the computer. I am sorry that you are having a bad experience but give it another chance.

I have played all night since the launch and I didnt crash not once....I love the game its alot of fun...but Im going to sleep now Im dead lol

Why are you even going to use cc on a game that just came out? you wanna blame the game when you have bad cc shakes my head

Peeps, I just learned that CC you have in the demo is not base game compatible. So be careful.
