After an extraordinarily long wait, The Sims 4’s High School Years expansion is finally out. Many hoped this update would breathe new life into the aging life-management simulator. Instead, everyone is mocking some ludicrous bugs — one that causes rapid aging and another that’s making sims fall for their family members.
Yes, it’s true: Incest is now part of The Sims 4. Before you scramble to uninstall the game, remember that it’s a bug. Electronic Arts (EA) already knows about the issue too.
“I just wanted to acknowledge that the Want to date a family member is something we know about, we’ve reproduced ourselves, we’re working on it,” SimGuruNick, a quality designer on The Sims 4, said on Twitter. “We’re looking to get it fixed ASAP, thanks for all the bug reports, we appreciate it. We’re of course working on the aging bug too.”
Imagine explaining this situation to everyone at the office. It’s hard not to feel for developers, even if the end result is extremely mockable.
Of course, Sims fans are going ballistic on social media. Most reactions are simply clowning on the incest bug, while others are legitimately upset that the expansion came out in such a rough shape. Have a look for yourself below.
