Because it shouldn't REQUIRE updates and mods. They've become lazy and 100% convinced that sims players will eat up anything they throw at them, so why bother making it right the first time? If they were smart, they'd spend less time being paranoid about "pirates" (which only exist BECAUSE they're paranoid) and more time fixing all the fracking bugs that are left to modders. Honestly, I'd fire their current staff and hire the modders XD At least they get shit done.
