Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Place Bubbletron5000 in your home lot. 2. Delete Bubbletron5000 from your home lot by clicking on it and pressing the delete key.
What happens when the bug occurs? After removing the Bubbletron5000, the sound FX remain (namely, the loud bubbling). Even bulldozing the lot/room does not fix this.
What do you expect to see? I expect not to hear an item after it's been deleted.
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? Neutral/Not Sure
I first had this issue happen earlier this Summer (June/July) when I was messing around with one of my builds and placed a Bubbletron5000 in a room. I decided not to use it and deleted the item (click item, delete key). I realized while playtesting the house, that the bubble sound effects remained, and would not go away regardless of what I did. I tried deleting the room, placing the bubbletron again (trying to trigger something?), bulldozing the lot, replacing the lot with the same house (saved without the bubbletron), building over it, creating a basement (in case it was locked under the terrain), etc.
I just had it happen again yesterday, after placing the bubbletron5000 in an apartment. I don't often use the bubblemakers in my residential builds, so I'd forgotten about the issue. Once I deleted the item (to replace it with a foosball table) I realized the sound effect was still present.
