Re: Holidays and events not occurring/disappearing from calendar on the day

@latenightplumbob Could you test if it works on a fresh save to find out if it's save game related or a general issue for you ?

  • A fresh save as in a new game rather than load a game?

    I've also never had snow or rain when it's forecast but I don't know if that's normal.

    Yes a completely new save.

    You should get what the forecast says.

    If a new save also has the issue, try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

  • Thanks for your advice! The new save weather and events work as expected! Should I do as you instructed as above anyway for my other save it doesn't work on?

    @latenightplumbob No, sounds like something corrupted that save or there's something some factor in it makes the error.

    Would you mind sending me the faulty save so I can pass it on to QA ? Just upload to google drive or one drive and PM me the link.
