Product: The Sims 4Platform:PlayStation 5Which language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 2.20What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All besides batuu and few kitsSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Going to active grim reaper career to collect sims and souls, a glitched sim will say dead but be just standing there.What happens when the bug occurs? I tried resetting multiple times sim still stands there unresponsive What do you expect to see? I expect all dead sims to be dead and able to collect them and their souls. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. The newest update preparing for Life and death pack My sim tried to go to the active Grim Reaper career and when she went to one of the jobs, one of the Sims that are supposed to be dead is standing unresponsive, and I repeatedly tried to reset that she still stayed in the same position. It makes it where you can’t complete the job because you have to have a certain number of souls collected. I had to close my game and leave the job. Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title, added version number.

I had my sim join the reaper career and when I went to a location multiple times the "dead" sims didn't appear dead therefore I wasn't able to complete the task of reaping the sim's soul.

I had the same problem today. I'm at level 3 of the career, it was doing an Emotional reap. The dead sim was just standing there, unclickable; and Reset Object didn't change anything.

Same issue. Doesn:t work without mods either.

a moment ago @crinrict Yes, I listened to the plea and then was unable to Reap the sim. More info: when I was unable to Reap I stayed on the lot through until the end of my shift and it ended normally (got paid and tp'ed home). I carried on with the career and had no problems reaping sims on subsequent assignments. BUT, when I received an assignment at the same lot (the Bun Ma household on Hothotok Shore in Tomarang), the same thing happened. This time I tried to Revive, instead of Reap, but the Dead sim was again unclickable. They were standing on the sidewalk in front of the house so I think it might be related to that lot. Attaching a pic so you can see where the Dead sim appears.

Hi there,This just happened to me as well, but on an empty lot in Newcrest. Had to do an Emotional Reaping. Not the first one, never had problems until now. Got to the empty lot, the witnesses, the one with the plea and the dead sim were all standing in a group in front of me. Noticed the dead Sim when I hovered with the mouse over her and it said Dead in red. Tried clicking on her, but nothing happened. Continued with the tasks and listened to the plea. Now I can't collect the soul. I'm playing on a Macbook. No mods or CC.

@spookysee Did you listen to the plea already and this happened when you tried to revive or reap him ?

@GER-jasperres I take it they stand around for you too instead of lying on the floor ?

Could everyone in this thread post the lot it's happening on and post a pic. Thanks.
