Giving up on simming after update V?

I can’t say I can’t agree with a lot of what you’ve written, but I wouldn’t personally attribute what you’re raising to any form of “destroying on purpose” either. There are however specific things that were changed and predating the release which are documented as being destroyed on purpose.

These are discussed in the following topic, here is a post illustrating pre-release vs different updates:

I’ve tried to gather all other noticeable issues of this topic in one post here:
