Losing 25 simoleons
I know this is caused by the back to the old days neighbourhood action plan, but it’s not active in my sims’ neighbourhood. It got voted in in their old one but they moved house to where there were no active plans. Still kept losing 25 whenever they used technology so I turned off eco lifestyle gameplay - still happening. They don’t really have a lot of money so I’d really rather this not happen!hollyhobbit10111 minutes agoSeasoned Newcomer4Views0likes1CommentSims missing hair & clothing on home screen, but not in game.....
My household are bald and in their underwear, but only on the home screen. When I load into the save, everything is normal. This has only started today. I re-loaded the game 4 times, but still the same. I also did a repair. No difference. ????? No CC or mods.6Views0likes1CommentTrouble Assigning My Sims as NPCs
Hey everyone :) I hope all is well. I hoping some of you can help me. I am struggling to program my Sims in my save as NPCs. I use to do this no problem but now it's just not working and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. [1] Step 1, I create the Sim and move them into a lot. [2] Step 2, I use testingcheats true and then the appropriate code/trait for the NPC which I find here: EgonVM's Ultimate NPC Making Guide 2.0 | EA Forums - 4955205 Example: careers.add_career Adult_NPC_Nanny & traits.equip_trait trait_isNanny [3] Step 3, Evict the Household (as I was told NPC's cannot live in the world), and then I uncheck them as a "played" household. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?StuStuie21 minutes agoRising Ace2Views0likes0CommentsNature's calling can't claim claimable rewards.
I've been doing the quests of this event and claiming my rewards until the last quest... I can't claim my rewards after doing the last quest released so far. I tried the 'claim all' button, tried to claim it in game UI and on main menu, tried to restart my game and try all of this again but nothing seems to work. I hope maybe when more quests get unlocked I can claim my rewards again. Does someone has the same problem as me or know a solution? In the screenshots below you can see I was able to claim the dish but not the book and the potion. Also rewards that go further than my progress bare are indicated with a yellow dot which I think means it's "claimable"? Is my progress bar not loading any further anymore or is the game showing yellow dots where it shouldn't? I play on pc btw.747Views4likes19CommentsSims just stand still
My sims just stand still even when I tell them to interact with something. For example, I'll tell them to take a shower and they'll just stand there but the queue will show they're taking a shower. I've taken out every single one of my mods, repaired the game several times, and I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Nothing works. Any help would be very much appreciated.9Views0likes1Comment[NCQE] Create Dining Chairs/Table & Music Station missing

Hey there, I am playing on a PC with no mods or CC and I am currently having issues with my Sims' household funds fulling transferring when moving entire households. Their cash will transfer, but the value of their furniture/home will not. For example, I have a family with 15,000 simoleons on hand and a house worth about 50,000 simoleons. When I move them (no splitting) to a new vacant lot to build (about 5,000 simoleons) and choose to sell the furniture, their household funds reads as 10k (not the expected 60k)...essentially loosing the entire value of their previous home. I'm currently using cheats to replenish the missing funds, but I was curious if anyone else was experiencing this? Is there something I'm doing wrong? It's a brand new issue for me. :( Best wishes, <34Views0likes0CommentsRemove Fear from Townie/NPC?
I have the issue that a lot of NPCs in Sulani have Fear of Swimming or Fear of Darkness. There are Cheats to remove fears from your played sim. But how can i remove a fear from an NPC aka Townie? I tried to move this Townie to an empty lot to make him playable, removed the fear and moved him out afterwards which removed the fears at least for a short time until he gets it again (which happens in Sulani very soon). But this is not only a complicated way, it also has the downside, that the Townie loses his job. Is there an easier way to remove fears from unplayed sims?15Views0likes2CommentsPregnancy Bug Still Buggin’
Even after updating the game on 7/16 to fix the pregnancy issue and even with repairing the game when the Try for Baby and Pregnancy test were still missing, the pregnancy state is still not working. The “fix” didn’t seemingly fix the issue. Yes, I tried without mods. Yes, the game is up to date. The issue still persists.SalemHellKat4 hours agoRising Rookie46Views0likes3CommentsSim can't stop carrying cat
Never had this issue before, my Sim will pick up her cat and then just... refuse to put it down, as shown in the screenshot, she's not holding the cat the normal way either. She keeps gesturing that there's something blocking her path. She will still do the things I tell her, but after complaining for a good amount of time and nothing makes the cat leave her hand. When I restart my game she does release the cat from her eternal grip, but within minutes she has the cat back in her arms and can't seem to put the cat down. Is this a known bug, is there something I can do other than repeatedly restarting my game whenever she picks up the cat?12Views1like1CommentNatures Calling Quest- Playing nature sounds from any radio doesn't work.
I'm having this issue with the nature calling quest. I can't listen to, or even just turn on to play on ANY radios or stereos the nature sounds. It's preventing me completing the quest I'm on currently because I have to listen to that and sleep. I have run ALL updates, run a repair, tried several different types of stereos, at several different locations, on old and brand new game files. I even went so far as to uninstall and reinstall the entire game. That made it to where I could at least turn music on, but I cannot get the nature sounds to play at all. Please Help!36Views0likes5Comments(BUG) Root cause interaction not completing - new career issue
Hi everyone, i am having an issue with the new pack and a new career gameplay. Whenever i try to tell the client their root cause, the interaction takes a very long time to complete. The client keeps doing everything else but talking with my sim. The interaction often gets cancelled automatically, and i have to do it again and again. Meanwihile the workday time is still running, which makes it hard to finish all the tasks on time. This happed with all five clients i have had so far in this career. Its really frustrating and makes the career not enjoyable. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any tips or fixes? Thank you!!35Views0likes6CommentsCharacters and pets with custom paint have lost their texture.
Before the July 10 update (v1.116.223.1030) I didn't encounter this problem, but now it is relevant. characters and pets (including horses) lose textures and turn black if they have custom paint/custom tattoos. I tried removing mods and entering live mode and CAS without them, but nothing changes. the game has been updated to the latest and newest version, the problem still remains.6Views0likes1Comment- nancybody4 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer5Views0likes1Comment
