[FIXED] 'Do at the Same Time' Party Goals Not Fulfilling/ LE generated

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 expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All EPs, GPs and Stuff Packs *except* Spooky Stuff and Luxury Party.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a Sim throw a House Party.
What happens when the bug occurs? The "Do at the Same Time" goals such as Have 3 sims "Listen to the stereo at the same time" don't fulfill even when the number of required (or more) sims are doing the action. This applies to: Listen to the stereo, Dance to the stereo, Play a Game together, and possibly others. With the Dance goal, it will register 1 sim dancing in my game, but no more. The following are still working: Have 3 sims Drink/Eat food/Tell Jokes/Kiss. Note that water no longer works as a drink, however. As these goals are not fulfilled for the party, it makes it difficult to get Silver, but near impossible to get Gold level for the event. When I have MCCC installed, lots of Last Exception messages are displayed. Looking at the exception text I see "Exception raised while trying to run a test event in test_events.py: (TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable)"
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the party goal fulfill when the required number of sims are performing the action.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Patch 1.40.61.1020 (Feb. 22, 2018).

    • When you throw a social event, attendees will now do their part to complete communal events.

    Fixed in Patch 1.41.42 ... Hopefully for good

    Which language are you playing the game in? French
    How often does the bug occur? Just once, the only time i planned a party since the patch
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Parenthood, Get together, City living, Spa day, Romantic Garden, 

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Quite easily, no collective action is taken under account for the party goals. Listen to music, play a game, eat cake, anything really.
    What happens when the bug occurs? If a goal is involved, the goal is never fulfilled. The sims do the activities, an LE pops up, but the goal 
    What do you expect to see? I expect the goal to be fulfilled if everything is done right, not to generate LEs. 
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, it's obviously happening with or without though, considering other people's experiences.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
    Please describe the patch or change you made. 22 February patch: 1.40.61.1020.

    Have done more testing since my initial post, LE generates on house parties, birthday parties and dinner parties and doesn’t always register sims do one thing together. Most recent example I had was sims dancing together, had 7 sims dancing at once and not registered as goal fulfilled but call to meal and eat together did fulfill. Thought that was odd. Still happening on every single social event I hold.

    I noticed the same thing.  The eat food goals worked OK but any other group activities generate a LE.  I had just started the process of testing my mods, and then came across this.  SInce it happens in vanilla games, too, I'm betting my mods are fine.

    I’m having a birthday party. My sim is part of a club where one of the club activities is listening to music. So she started a club gathering during the party. I select “listen to Alternative together” but even with the members listening the goal won’t fulfill. I also called sims over to the game table for a card game and that didn’t fulfill the have sims playing games goal. I disbanded the club meeting and tried the game table again but it still didn’t fulfill the goal

    The issues had vanished after some of the recent patches but now it is back, though I can't say if the latest patch or the jungle pack is responsible

    Interestingly, I first saw this happen with "Have 3 Sims listen to music". It registered 2 sims, and then when the 3rd came along it went back to 0 and I've been having issues with this since.

    SO annoyed. This had been sorted once but has broken again. Do I really have to wait another month to the next patch so I can continue playing again!? As mentioned before, it's really frustrating if you're trying for the Party Animal LTW or trying to score points with the legacy challenge.
