Re: [FIXED] Sims not visible to player teleport /abort interactions

The Bug wasn't fixed completely for me with the latest patch. My Sims didn't teleport up or down the stairs anymore. That issue seems to be fixed. But once he teleported from the house (ground floor, no stairs)  into fence of the chicken coop.

Sims appear to no longer be teleporting from level to level. So they are indeed using the stairs again, thank goodness!

BUT, the flickering back and forth on the same level remains. They appear to be in one spot (usually where you've directed them to go to) one second and then a second later flicker back to a different spot, they do this back and forth. This has been a bug for many many years, and it doesn't seem like its ever going to be addressed or even acknowledged unfortunately.

I've noticed this one as well.  Not meaning to speak for you, only for myself, this hasn't been a big bother in my mind.  It's one of several bugs I "work around" or ignore -- but I have seen it.  They flicker back and forth, but ultimately (in my game) they end up in the right spot and they do the right thing.

@crinrict 

My very preliminary tests show that the issue has vanished.

Keeping information that is not pertinent to a minimum, my guys went over to the Vatore household.  In my game, they're in Willow Creek.  One of the guys wanted to cloudgaze with the sister, and I purposely waited for Lilith Vatore and him to appear on the porch of the house in question and then exit.  They appeared to come downstairs in the proper "interval" of time while they were invisible (to my eyes; in other words, descending several staircases), and then to exit the house properly and proceed to cloudgaze.

If this thread is left open for a bit, I could report more, even if it's to confirm that everything seems fine.

As a side note, and I am chuckling as I write this:  As soon as I return to normal gameplay, it's funny how long a period my guys can go WITHOUT ascending or descending a staircase, lol.  So if the thread remains open, I can play for a while tonight -- I did set the time aside -- and see what happens.  (Now I'm afraid I'll forget to come back here, LOL!)

Bottom line:  I see some others saying there are still issues; I have seen none in my game, which is running fantastically -- so far.

@Nyxett That sounds like this issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/TO-ADD-Jumpy-Animation-Bug-After-Newest-Patch/td-p/6876628

Could you post there as Robo has asked for feedback.

@Melisendre Was that while Sims were not in view ?

@crinrict I'm not sure but I think he was in view. It happened only once but I will have an eye on it.

I played for a few hours and the walking stairs & out of camera issue seems to be fixed.

I still noticed some Sims in a Club having trouble using the toilet (standing in the bathroom not doing anything which leads to others leaving the Lot because they have to pee) but maybe this is related to something else.

Anything else seems fine so far.

(Condensed from an unnecessarily long reply.)

I played for a long, long time and never saw a single problem regarding this glitch -- smooth sailing everywhere.

Some other glitches remain, as referenced here, but I can put up with those if I absolutely must. It's like the game is back, and I want to thank anyone and everyone who had the patience to look into this, report on it, be supportive about it, and eventually fix it.

P.S. The guys with feminine walks bothers me quite a bit, for some reason. I keep shrugging it off in the confidence that a fix is on the way.

Since there's all positive reports for the stairs/not visible issue, I'm going to lock this as fixed now.

If anyone still has this issue, please make a new thread, if it's jumpy animations still use this thread instead: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/TO-ADD-Jumpy-Animation-Bug-After-Newest-Patch/td-p/6876628
