Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.74.59.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All barring the kit packs, my first pet stuff, journey to batuu and paranormal stuff pack.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? placing the small round ceiling lights or most lights.
What happens when the bug occurs? when the lights are there the wall have to be maximum height or the sim will just be stuck and will not move anywhere, for example if there is a light placed infront of where a refrigerator is they cant access the refridgerator or even beds and so forth.
What do you expect to see? ability to move around freely and use all items placed that are functional.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
It seems to be a glitch with the lighting that for some reason it has to be the highest wall height or the sims just get stuck because of the lights Its strange but sorry if this is a repost ive never done this before.
@Nierolim Hi! That is a weird glitch! I don't recall seeing that before. Now that you have removed your mods, please exit your game and bring up your PC's file explorer, then go to the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder. Delete the localthumbcache.package file located in that folder. It is safe to delete this file as a new one will be generated when you open the game again. This cache file may retain effects from mods. Launch the game and see if the problem is still there.
Yes I removed all mods and yes I removed the file still has an issue , it does happen every house I play its getting quite annoying lol sorry it took me a while to get back into my account.
The ink mods I use is the extreme violence and a few make up and clothing mods.
Any further support would be appreciated.
@Nierolim That is really weird. I tested this with several different lights (the flat round lights and some lower hanging lights) and with the walls at the lowest height setting. The only time my sim had routing issues were from very low hanging lights that actually blocked the fridge. Could you post some screen shots of your game with the low walls and lights in place? It might help to see your particular setup.
In the meantime, perhaps you could try a repair to see if that fixes the issue. Exit the game, then right click on the game in the Origin game library and select "Repair".
