Re: [FIXED] [CL] [SE] Overlapping festivals/Food Stalls

I didn't have any problems with my game  (other than the occasional 'walking through walls) on my Sims 4 game. After the 9/18/2024 update, which happened when the Spice Market was in play, it didn't go away. THEN the Flea Market came the next day, and now it's all smashed together, along with all the other kiosks that rotate through the area. Then yesterday snow appeared in Skye Fitness  (some random Sim character made a 'snow angel' all the Sims now have to walk around.) I'm playing on a PC with Windows 10. I am NOT computer savvy at all, and please don't tell me to find a 'save'...they're only listed by numbers and I have no idea what is what!

Has anyone else had this problem? It would be helpful if we could actually contact someone who works for EA with such glitches. 

I've spent over 600+ hours on this particular Sim, and I've spent a bit of money on the game as well. Would like to be able to enjoy it once again. But right now it seems like every day something else 'glitches'. 

HELP!

    Is anyone experiencing the city living neighborhood/festival items overlapping since the 9/18/24 patch? 

    I was having the issue they fixed in this patch where the food stalls would disappear from the neighborhood if your sim traveled but now they are all on top of each other and not refreshing each day!! 

    A bug to replace another bug, sigh.. At least the next day the stalls would refresh and now it’s stuck.

    This is happening to me as well. I play on macOS Sonoma 14.6.1. 

    It started after the last update. So frustrating. I checked and it's in all of my saves. I hope this gets resolved soon.

    I didn't know this was an ongoing issue, I thought my game just misbehaved for a while , I came to the forum looking into another situation but since there is a report ongoing I'll add my "ME TOO", my sim lives in the neighborhood where the Humor and Hijinks Festival takes place, when I loaded her household the place was overcrowded with all the furniture from the festival, oddly enough the stand vendors took place on the festival stands instead their normal food stands, I think they couldn't get to them so they use the others. Anyway the festival stuff won't go away by  waiting, reloading the game or the neighborhood or leaving the area.

    Same thing is happening in my game as well. Spice Market, Arts Quarter and Fashion District all are overcrowded with their respective festivals' objects. I waited for a festival to happen and finish, but that didn't remove its corresponding objects.

    God, I'm shocked. Objects from festivals and rented housing are flying in the sky. Now this

    I would really love if this bug had it's own thread because the workaround that might have worked for the old version of this bug does not work this time around. This bug is different even though it looks the same. Just like others have said, I'm pretty sure this bug is caused by them "fixing" the bug with the disappearing Food Stalls and now nothing despawns. I cannot play any of my long time saves that I actually care about now, because no way I'm going to get them infected by this bug. I have saves from 17th of September that I copied over to a safe location before the patch and I'm not touching them before this get's fixed.

    I played fast forward to the next festival at this location hoping that it despawns if i stay until the end. My sims live in a penthouse next to the festival location. It didn't work. The festival didn't despawn and everytime i load the savegame the firework starts again (no matter what time of day).

    I tested a bit with older saves from before the last update: a sim who is NOT living in SM went to the art galery and everything looked fine. no festival objects there. then he travelled to the fountainview lot in the same neighborhood and all festival objects were mashed together.
    i also played on older saves from my houshold who lives in the fountainview penthouse. in any old savegame the festival locations are crowded with objects. before they moved to fountain view, they lived at spice market. even in this old savegame the spice market was broken but it was ok when they lived in the art destrict and only travelled to spice market.
    is the household broken and causing the issue?
    in the actual savegame i moved them to newcrest and went back to the fountainview lot in build mode. the festival stuff was still there.

    Is there anything i can do? Or is my whole game corrupted?

    OMG, I met the exactly same problem today... ... Also my Humor & Hijinks festival disappeared from the calendar, not sure why. Now I just move my sims out of SM and hope for the best... ...

    This is also happening with Mt. Komorebi festivals. I haven't cheked but I would bet this also affects other in game events that work like festivals, such as the Henford Fair. But so far, San Myshuno, Mt. Komorebi and Sulani are all unplayable because of this for me. Also I don't want to corrupt my main saves with this so I'm only playing in saves that don't matter atm.

    Wow, so it's not just CL but literally ANY world that has festivals? This renders several worlds completely unplayable. I hope that this fix is at the top of the team's priority list and that they're working on a hotfix. This is a major issue.
