Please fix your game.
I play this on the PS4. The Sims absolutely will refuse to do anything you say, then they will die from some neglected need. It feels like it takes 5,000,000 hours to fill their needs up, only for their needs to decay in a millisecond. I never remembered it being this bad before.
The careers have become horrible. In my most recent game, I was doing the business career. Got all the way up to level 7 in the career, took the ceo path, and got the crushed dreams and passionless job traits that prevented me from making any more progress. Even with charisma and logic maxed out, and my Sim's workdays set to work hard, my career progress kept going into the red. And my sim would fluctuate from overwhelmed with stress to enraged to depressed from those traits.
Super approve of the pride flags, but everything else has made this more of a chore and annoying to play, rather than a fun, relaxing time.
