Stop us if you've heard this before, but a new Sims 4 update bringing long-awaited features has broken the game once more: "Bravo EA"

It's that time again, folks – The Sims 4 has once more been left a broken mess for many fans following an exciting content-filled patch, and I'm currently terrified to update my game.

Yesterday's update, described by EA on its official website, brings "a handful of new features intended to improve performance and player experience" – although it's safe to say it's done the opposite for many fans. While it does add skin details (including age spots, dark circles, freckles, rosacea, stretch marks, and more) as well as the long-awaited ability to select what packs you play with, much like in The Sims 3, it's also breaking Sims 4 mods and save files.
