stability

The game exhibits several bugs and glitches similar to those found in "People Playground," which detracts from its overall stability. While it shows potential for improvement, players currently recommend opting for the more established title due to its greater content and modding support.
- “I have enjoyed myself playing this game and it is fun - has a lot of potential - but currently I would really recommend you just get People Playground instead. This game isn't a rip-off, and while it and People Playground share a lot of the same bugs and glitches, it is new and there is a lot less content and the modding is not there. So for now, I think I have to say just get the other game; they're the same (or very similar) prices too, if I recall correctly.”
