[FIXED] [ECO] Future Cubes/Clay Spawning in Inventories

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
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? 1.63.134.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Get Together
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? My entire household was visiting another house ("household 2"). I switched to play household 2 for less than a minute while the original household was on the lot and then switched back to the original household while still on household 2's lot.
What happens when the bug occurs? Future Cubes spawn in the active household's inventory. The moment Sims are done with one task (usually "Practice Programming" unless all computers are removed from the lot), they immediately check their Future Cube. However, a new cube spawns each time a Sim does this.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see no Future Cubes being spawned, active Sims not checking Future Cubes after every action, and for adult Sims to want to do something other than "Practice Programming."
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

My entire household was visiting another house ("household 2"). I switched to play household 2 for less than a minute while the original household was on the lot and then switched back to the original household while still on household 2's lot. I came back to find everyone in both households playing with Future Cubes. Future Cubes spawn in the active household's inventory. The moment Sims are done with one task, they immediately check their Future Cube. However, a new cube spawns each time a Sim does this. Sometimes they'll check a Future Cube and when they are done, it won't be in their inventory.

When the original household returned to their lot, adults only wanted to "Practice Programming." They will stop their current action to go to a computer to "Practice Programming." I removed the computers on the lot and the Sims won't do anything else autonomously - other than check their Future Cubes.

  • Sims no longer have Clay Blobs, Future Cubes, and/or Sketch Pads spawn infinitely in their Inventory. This felt like grabbing something out of Felix the Cat’s bag… just a never-ending bag of Clay Blobs, Future Cubes, and Sketch Pads… what did it all mean!? We may never know.

    Fixed in Patch 1.68.154/ 1.33

    If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

    Few things to note

    1. Sims will still play with clay and future cubes and clay if you have the NAP active. They should no longer be permanent though

    2. Existing future cubes/clay will probably stay in your inventory so you need to delete them.
