Nonstop "Show Off Tattoos"
I recently purchased the Businesses and Hobbies EP, which comes with the new "show off tattoos" and "check out tattoos" interaction. Immediately after installing it my sims are constantly doing these. I mean, every single autonomous conversation is just "show off tattoos" over and over again. And when sims are alone, they go to the nearest mirror "check out tattoos" repeatedly. Even if a sim has 0 tattoos, they still will show it off/check it out exactly the same. It has become quite frustrating. A sim in my game will experience a death in the family and still have a confident mood from those interactions. again, even with 0 tattoos!
Lights not working
While in build mode, I was creating a house and all of a sudden some of the lights in the house stopped working. I've replaced the lights, changed them to different lights, and even got rid of the windows, but the lights just wont work, neither do they work in live mode. I closed and reopened the app, restarted my computer, but neither worked. Has anyone else had this problem?Plant Sims Scenario - Unable to Absorb Energy
My PlantSim has reached the top of the gardening skill and has about every type of plant (plus lots of spliced ones) but I can NOT get the "absorb solar energy" to appear no matter the time of day or level of energy she has left. Its all I need to finish the scenario and it just won't appear! I do not have any mods or expansions.
Axolotl faces
Hi! I see all over that when you zoom in or move an axolotl tank from Lovestruck that they should display a variety of different faces. I have been trying for ages to see them in my game but cannot. I have all the packs, game is up to date, and no mods. Am I missing something or doing it wrong?
Nature's calling event won't trigger
Hello, I am on an asus gaming PC, playing with the most recent update. I have started multiple different saves, I've repaired the game, I've tried it without my mods folder, I turned off mods in-game and reloaded, and I've turned on and off the online social events/the gallery. Nothing I do will trigger the event, and all I have is the woodworking table. Has anyone else experienced this?Skintones are nonexistent
Hi, I am going a little bit crazy here. I repaired my game twice, removed cache, removed Origin's cache, yet I still do not have the skintones section in my game. It completely vanished. I have no idea what to do. I checked for main mods and updated those. Please help! Thanks so much in advance. I just want to play my game lol :(.
Snowy Escape Festival of Snow vending machine outfits won't appear
My sims went to the festival of snow via the notification menu successfully, and the options for both only purchasing the snow outfit and purchasing/wearing the outfit appear for the vending machine on initial interaction. After purchase of both options and with multiple attempts with successful inventory notifications and simoleon deductions, the options still remain the same upon interacting with the machine afterwards with no option appearing for only wearing the outfit or the outfit appearing by clicking the sim and opening outfit selection. I've also tried opening CAS with the pack filter for full body clothing and everything with absolutely nothing. I tried the debug object option through shift click on both the vending machine and the sim with no change as well. I don't have any cc and my game is fully updated on the ea app. I'm just wondering whether this is a bug other people are experiencing too or if there's a way I can fix this for my game, thank you.
Anyone else having issues with their restaurants?
I have been having tons of issues with my restaurants. I have some sims that are able to order and receive their meals no problem, then others will never have their order taken, even when using the MC control cheat to manually have their order taken. I’ve tried rearranging the tables in multiple positions, far apart from each other, and any configuration imaginable. I’ve made my restaurant larger, moved doorways to make pathways to tables more accessible, still having issues with some (not all) tables being able to receive their orders. Any tips? I do have CC but I’ve repaired the game, updated necessary CC. Running out of ideas and this community is always so helpful. Thanks in advance!
Sims 4 Duplicate world and Lots infinite loading
Just bought Enchanted by Nature and loaded it up after making sure most of my mods were up to date. Loaded in just fine, left my current family and looked at the new map, everything still fine. Went to Chestnut Ridge and tried entering the Canter lot 30x30. Infinite loading screen. Reloaded, tried again, infinite load. Tried the larger lot, heard the music queue that loads into a lot, continued to infinite load. Tried a repair, still didn't work, did a 50/50, still didn't work. tried with empty Mod folder, still won't work. Repaired again, none of the lower lots are working. I could load into the upper worlds lots just fine. I then noticed I had 2 of the new world on my world menu screen. Currently unsure if I want to save at this point due to a potential corruption to my save files. Loaded an older save, tried to load into the Chestnut Ridge lower lots, still hear the music that loads into the lot but continue to stay on loading screen.
Sims circling at lot boundary and not leaving.
I'm having an issue where my child sims just walk in a tight circle at the lot boundary for ages when they leave for school at 8am. I have four child sims and they all do it. They do eventually leave but not for at least an in game hour or more. Their icons clearly show them to already be at school but they're not. Is this a bug? Or an intentional queuing to leave the lot thing? Edited to add: I put this query in the console technical issues forum and it got moved to gameplay questions and issues?? Don't know why....Commanding dog to lie down freezes game

How do vampire children work in the game?
I have a couple (a female vampire and a male non-occult sim) and they have three children and all three are vampires but so far they don't seem to be troubled by the things their mom is troubled by like sunlight and needing to drink blood. When do these things start affecting them? Do I need to buy coffins for them to sleep in and what kind of dinners do they enjoy? Or do the vampire things only become an issue when they age into young adults? It would be pretty difficult going to high school and being a vampire.High School Years
I'm having trouble with the high school years pack. It doesn't prompt/ask me to follow the teens to school. The message is enabled on to prompt to follow. Other glitchy things that are going on that I'm not sure that are related to the pack or not, but it doesn't give me the option to have my teen sim do homework. Anytime I click the blue homework book it only gives me the option to add to favorites, every day. My sim also joined the cheerleading team and anytime there's is practice my teen wont go no matter what I click. I do not have any CC. I do have additional packs. I have already "repaired" the game and these issues still persist. I use the EA app.
We Wear Bags Glitch
My game was freshly installed about three years ago. No mods, no CC, and I have always had all the available packs, stuff packs, and kits. I pre-order them. Staight off, when I tried to use the vet clinic, every time anyone travels to it, all the NPCs wear bags on their heads. It's been like this for three years. It's not the neighborhood plan. It's not the clinic uniform. It doesn't happen anywhere else in Brindleton Bay. Other than that, the vet's office and its equipment work fine. But I'm getting tired of it. Do I have to delete the lot and build a new clinic?[LD] Traveling while receiving a tarot card aborts receiving card
If you travel in the midst of receiving a tarot card, it never enters your inventory, and you can't get it again, at least the ones from Using Intuition. If you try to Use Intuition on the same object (e.g. Well) you can get the animation of it completing, but you don't get the card.
