My Teenage sim and one of my child aged sims are stuck in the Distant and Picky Eater Phase. They used to just last a few days, but now they won’t go away. The game doesn’t acknowledge that they have a phase because the “ Ask about Phase” option is not there under the parenting section, but when you go to the Simology page, the phases are there as well as the moodlets that come with them.

Very rarely do I rotate houses. I noticed it after I moved my sims into a new house.Ever since they’ve been there, they adopted the phases and now they won’t go away. That could have been the case, but I have no idea

Yeah one of my kids, has suffered terribly, the Bear Phase, you hover over the moodlet, and it doesn't even tell you how much time is left, i can't even get a parent to talk about the phrase because it's missing but I reported ths bug many years ago, and it's obviously ignored, so I just give up..

If you're totally out of options and are OK with using mods to fix it, I have one called Stuck Childhood Phases Fix on my site, which is linked on the Hero approved mods thread. But in that same thread there is also a mod by 83Bienchen that address it too? I don't know for sure how the other one works. My one simply refreshes the phase timer, so that you can continue the phase gameplay naturally until it goes away on its own.
- crinrict4 years agoHero+@xpinksims Did they move while the teen/child was in the phase ?

Yes, I believe that they did
