Re: [FIXED] Puddles after drinking water

@crinrict before patch. I know this was going on for a while. At first I thought it was just me. If there is a delay it is some delay and not even where they were drinking, if I can remember

    No ghosts that drowned. That come by my place,,., no ghosts.... unless I summon Felix with paranormal but he did not drown... 

    A mod, that fixes mods?? I looked through the list of compatible mods for that and I have non of the mods listed. 

    MCCC

    Donot turn my sims into spell casters

    one that hides the MAC make-up

    More columns

    UI Cheats

    Slice of life

    wonderful whims

    and life decider OH and full house.

    I try to keep mods at a minimum

  • I just noticed this happening a few minutes ago. 

    I was playing a residence in Komorebi.  Only the second time since building this house. A single sim autonomously ate breakfast, washed his plate then got a glass of water. He put it on the table (Toasty Kotatsu table), then sat down and drank it. A puddle appeared behind him on the floor. 

    My other lots are usually busy with kids and multiple adults, but this is the only sim here.

    In my current house my sims are constantly unwell because of dirty surroundings and I couldn't find anything dirty. And yes I noticed the puddles of water next to the sink and thought it was the dog - wait, the weather was nice and the dog didn't swim in the pool... anyway I am starting to have this isuse now after moving to a certain house a few days ago, but long after the recent update.

    @RavenLure You have to go to the third post, find the bug you have issues with if it's on there, there's a bug fix linked next to it.

    And no, this doesn't fix mods, it fixes the bug with the water puddles caused by the bonehilde problem. If the issue goes away if you add that mod, then you have the same issue. If not, then it's different.

    With mod user I meant that since you are already using mods, you are probably not against trying a mod fix.

    So, some days on since I posted in this thread and things have become worse!  My sims go to their acting gigs and want to immediately go to the sink to get water.  I also see NPCs getting water there too.  Now I have to go into build mode, remove all 3 sinks from PBP so that my sims will not keep queueing up actions to go to the sink whilst in the middle of a performance!  I have no puddles issue now, just the desperation of my sims to go to the sinks for a glass of water.  I thought I'd fixed all this with MCCC but no, they still desperately want sinks and drinks!  They're not thirsty, all bars are green.  I noticed an update came a few hours ago and still the problem persists.  I was really hopeful that it was a fix.  ☹️

    @crinrict This is not a bonehilda problem. This started way before paranormal I give up., I just destroy the puddles using the cheats.. thanks anyway

    @RavenLure Let's do it this way: Make a new thread once they fix this and you're still having issues. For now, one thread is better to avoid too much confusion.

    All I was suggesting was you could try the mod it fixes the issue for you as well but that's of course up to you.

    @RavenLure Please do try the mod as Crin suggests.  It's helped a lot even though they're still drinking a lot, we're not having to mop puddles at least!  Sounds to me like the issue is going to get fixed, reading between the lines, so I guess we'll have to live with no sinks for a while or any liquid producing machines!🤔

    I do not work For EA, but I do like to help people if I can

    Keep on simming and have fun!

    If anyone has (or wants to try) MCCC, that will solve that problem (and MANY others).

    Just use it's included MCTuner. It creates a file in the mod directory to allow it to work across ALL saves. You can add lines in it to stop random water drinking, tea drinking, coffee drinking, random ghosts breaking objects, random shoveling snow... basically ANY automated tasks.

    Here's some of the lines from MY mc_tuner.cfg file...

    26319,fridge_GrabDrinkAutonomously
    133052,sink_StartCrafting_Autonomously
    164355,fridge_GrabWaterAutonomously
    222271,autonomous_ObjectPicker_Sink_StartCrafting

    Use MCCC's MCTuner and have those lines in the file and your sims will NEVER autonomously get water again.

    @Psychotps Thanks I can add those to my cfg file! (which is pretty long!). I did notice at my acting gig today that he didn't keep getting the sink showing up in his bar, which I always had to cancel or remove all the sinks! Not today. Maybe this has been addressed? Fingers crossed! There was small update a couple of nights ago.

    @Gednaa Lol, I wouldn't know. Those lines I listed have been a part of my install for AGES. My sims haven't autonomously gotten water in years.

    @Psychotps Mine shouldn't grab water from the sinks as I ran an autonomy scan, but they still do (or did). I've put the globe bar in for them, and they're like heat seeking missiles, gravitating towards it! It's going again!!

    This isn't a bonehilda problem. Clearly you haven't read the entire thread, if you had, you would have seen myself and others commenting that we do not have the paranormal pack. Further we have provided videos and photographs of this bug. It exists. It is not an issue with paranormal pack. Its an issue caused by one of the recent patches: December 7th, 2020, December 14th, 2020 or January 21st, 2021

    Here is a screenshot of my most recent Sims 4 purchases

    CM Edit: Removed screenshot as it contained information that would aide in the theft of an account


    I have not purchased Paranormal Pack. Nor have several others in this thread


    Before you tell me "this thread is about the bonehilda problem" no it is not. If you look at the creation date of this thread, this bug existed well before BoNeHeLdA existed in Sims 4

    @Gednaa Put those lines I listed in. I came across the same problem and contacted Deaderpool on his discord. They gave me the 222271 line to put in. For some reason it doesn't show up on the Autonomy scan.

    @elektropunch But it COULD be caused by the Paranormal pack update. The paranormal pack update was pushed to ALL games, not just ones with the paranormal pack.

    Every time they release a pack, they release an update a week before. That's how games without paranormal got the "Scared" and "Terrified" moodlets for their sims.

    @elektropunch I said it was caused by the PATCH that came before paranormal. Of course it's happening for everyone but the core issue is still the water passing through bonehilda which isn't gated properly and hence happening to all Sims although it should only happen to bonehilda. I referred to it as the bonehilda issue cause bringing her into the pack caused an issue on the patch.

    If people were seeing it BEFORE the paranormal patch, there might be something else going on but that we'll know only after they patched this issue.

    @Psychotps I did just that and today there's been no sign of grabbing water when I replaced all the sinks in the house. Thanks so much! I did wonder why when I had it set not to grab water that they were grabbing water like their lives depended on it!

    @Gednaa

    Yeah, didn't make any sense to me either. The "Getting a glass of water" has been a problem for a long time, and instead of fixing it, (nerfing it) they went and added ANOTHER automated action of getting a glass of water, and suspiciously, MCTuner can't detect it. But it  CAN stop it, if you have the code... which is what I posted.
