Re: [FIXED] Items Removed pop-up appears when no items removed (1.77.131)
Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? this is the fourth time
What is your current game version number? 1.96.365.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Cats and Dogs, Island Living, Discover University, Snowy Escape. Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Vampires, Jungle Adventure, Realm of Magic. Perfect Patio, Cool Kitchen, Vintage Glamor, Bowling Night, Paranormal. Holiday Celebration Pack, Grim's Ghoulish Guitar.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start a new game, place your first sim, go to the manage households tabs and start looking at existing families in the worlds from the menu and loading them in CAS to save them. (I messed up my game by accidentally turning on neighborhood stories, so I was getting replacement families from a new game save).
What happens when the bug occurs? a notification that unowned items have been removed.
What do you expect to see? No pop-up. I wasn't even in a lot, the only lot I had visited was Bargain Bend, and I was only there to place a sim. I left Bargain Bend empty.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes. The issue happened for the first time after I purchased Escape, Jungle Adventure, Bowling Night in a bundle.
You should be able to find the issue in the game save I'm going to submit right away. It's a brand new save, I literally have changed nothing from the new game state. I placed my first sim in bargain bend, and went straight to the world screen and from there to manage households. I was in CAS for most of the whole ten minutes this save has existed.
I'll edit this link soon to add a link to the save game files.
Edit: link to save files and the picture below. The files are in a sub-folder, 'items removed bug second post' https://1drv.ms/f/s!AjkyUGcx0_64iIYcitdP6XvhkkalyA?e=m822Rh
Edit 2: I forgot to add that before I started playing about 3 hours ago, I repaired the game.
Edit 3: I investigated the new game save and figured out the likely problem. I loaded the save, got the same message when I went to go look at Vlad, and looked at his clothing. Then I exited without saving, reloaded the save again, and looked again. I got the message all three times, and Vlad's seasonal clothing was different.
I believe the game attempted to get Vlad's 'Hot Weather' and 'Cold Weather' outfits from 'Seasons', which I don't own, and that since the issue started happening when I bought Snowy Escape, the bug is probably part of that add-on.
Tbh, I'll probably never own Seasons, because I'm Canadian, and the Sim's 4 balmy, heavenly, eternal summertime is very appealing to me. Also, when I see cold weather in the Sims 4, I imagine Canadian winters, and Sims4 winter clothing options, especially for kids and toddlers, give me the heebie jeebies. TLDR: I'd love if the game would not look for Seasons apparel and choose from what already exists.
