Everything except Journey to Batuu and Snowy Escape Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play with a sim that allready genrated fame before the november patch. This bug exists in my game since then. Hadn't updated to the november patch since last week and then i noticed the bug. What happens when the bug occurs? Not only can we not toggle fame options but my existing sim, allready famous and on the treshold of B-Star isn't gaining any fame. The progress bar is not moving forward anymore.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes Please describe the patch or change you made. November 10 patch but only noticed it last week because i patched the game last week. At first i thouht it was because of the not toggle fame bug. I did the following to try to repair it: I removed all my mods and deleted the localthumb package. Restarted the game. Played for 24 sim hours. Bug still there. I tried an older save. Did not help. Yesterday i repaired the game (unfortunately it updated to the latest patch when i did the game repair) and tested for 24 simhours trying everything that would add fame. No luck. The progress bar is not moving. At his point i don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to lose my save again for the umpteenth time and start a new game.

[FIXED] [CoL] Growth fertilizers are not consumed and have no effect on crops
Product: The Sims 4 Platform:PC Which language are you playing the game in? English How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) What is your current game version number? 1.78.58.1030 What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Obtain Hyper Growth Fertilizer or Minor Growth Fertilizer either through normal Cottage Living gameplay or direct from Debug Build/Buy. Attempt to use it to fertilize growing oversized crops. What happens when the bug occurs? The can of fertilizer will pop back into your inventory without being consumed and the plants will not be fertilized (they don't have the swirling glow indicating that they've been fertilized). What do you expect to see? The fertilizer should be consumed on use, just like all the other types of fertilizer are, and they should have some kind of effect as described on your plants, i.e. they boost growth chances for larger crops. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them. Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No As far as I can tell, it's been like this since the launch of Cottage Living. When I examined the tuning files for the fertilize action, there are effects outcomes described for every type of fertilizer except for the Minor Growth and Hyper Growth. There's nothing listed for them at all, which is why the game ignores them because it can't find what it's supposed to do and they don't have any function at all. It's almost like they were missed out as an oversight? If anyone on PC/Mac is ok with mods, I've put up a fix for this on my mod site, which you can find linked in the pinned suggested game fixing mods thread. Since there's no info about them in the tuning files, I tried to guess what they should do based on their catalogue description and made them incrementally boost the chance of growing large size/weight crops when used. This is because the other fertilizers are vitality (increase quality and health), grow fast (increase crop speed of growth) and hassle-free (reduce need for maintenance). So I figured the missing effect of these growth fertilizers should be to increase crop size and weight. Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title to fit8.6KViews24likes19Comments

[ARCHIVED] Eyes/Eyelids Issues (Patch 1.110.265/2.01)
Product: The Sims 4 Platform: PC Which language are you playing the game in? French (but I understand english so no need to speak french) How often does the bug occur? Everytime What is your current game version number? Patch 1.110.265.1030 (DX11) What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything. Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Open Maya or any animation program, then animate the lids bones lower or whatever, then check how it translates in the game. Or you can also just check that the sims when they watch things lower, their eyes go inside the eyelid and it looks creepy in the game (you can see on screenshots I shared below) What happens when the bug occurs? Eyelids doesn't translate correctly in the game. It seems that since the eyelashes were introduced, the eyelids doesn't animate as they should. What do you expect to see? Eyelids animating/posing correctly as it used to be. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, but even without any mods (no CCs, no scripts, nothing) the bug still happen, even after the cache deleted. Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? It happens since the patch that intoduced the base game eyelashes. This bug isn't fixed. I am a modder and an animator and it seems that the eyelids doesn't translate correctly in the game like it used to be since this bug was introduced, and it's still there with the new patch. When the sim looks downside, the bottom eyelids don't move at all, making sims looks creepy (the eyes go inside the eyelid). I did some animations with the eyelids moving down while the eyes are looking down, and the animation from the eyelids doesn't translate correctly in the game at all. fix those bones or whatever that doesn't work correctly in the game : b__R_LoLid__ b__R_UpLid__ b__L_UpLid__ b__L_LoLid__ This is an example using CAS, where the eyes aren't closing completely due to the eyelids animations not translating correctly in the game. Before the eyelashes patch, they were closing just fine. Gifs with the bug : This is a gif from 2022, so without the bug : Maxis animations : Custom animation : CM Edit: Split from [FIXED] Eyes/Eyelids don't close Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title Edit By Khlas : (more context) I did another test, just to show you how terrible this thing is. For this test, I did a simple sleeping pose I will use to demonstrate the bug, because unfortunately it's the only way to explain the issue more properly, by comparing in an animating program and then how it translates in the game. To achieve this result in the game with the eyes being closed like this : In a posing/animating program, I had to do this : There is clearly an error of how the eyelids translate in the game since the lovestruck patch. I'd like to know if maxis is aware of this issue and if they will fix this, as it affect every animations in the game. If I'm closing the eyes as usual in the program, this is the result I get in the game : And no, it's not the program fault. This happens since the lovestruck patch and again, it affects all the animations from the game, even the vanilla ones. I believe a data from the eyelids or something similar has been touched and it needs to be reverted back. I don't know what to show more at this point, I think this is the most straightforward I could do to demonstrate the bug.SolvedKhlas2 days agoSeasoned Hotshot12KViews68likes183Comments
[FIXED] [CoL] Duplicate Swatch of Garden Party Wainscotting Wallpaper

Go into Build/Buy, select the Garden Party Wallpaper from Cottage Living and go through all of the swatches; you'll find that two of the swatches are identical, they also have identical thumbnails. What happens when the bug occurs? There are two copies of the same wallpaper swatch. What do you expect to see?

Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them. Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No I noticed this during gameplay and checked out the wallpaper in detail in an external program afterwards and both swatches are identical. I've tried to show this below with some in-game pictures by selecting the two affected swatches' thumbnails separately and placing both swatches side by side for comparison; hopefully you can understand what I mean! The relevant swatches are Garden Party Wainscotting 0000000000041F09 EP11_Cottage Living and Garden Party Wainscotting 0000000000041F15 EP11_Cottage Living.
