Yeah they throw things at the wall and see what happens. Then again, it's almost impossible for them to recreate specific situations where some more complex problems occur ( not you ailments) as players have huge saves sometimes, with mods,10+ generations etc. Sometimes unforeseen things can happen.

So I guess we could all flex and say we’re beta testers for EA/Maxis? 😅

Maybe they schould have some time where the pack is cheap in the start if we to test. Any Way thats why I mostly try to wait for sales or giveaways Well that and money But also why I don’t feel like buying other ea games
