[FIXED] [IL] Child of the Islands - Communing With Elementals Problem

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? 1.50.67.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Perform an island culture activity, summon the elementals, and interact with them to request a judgement/a blessing.
What happens when the bug occurs? When my sims interact with the Elementals to ask for judgement, nothing happens. I asked for judgement 13 times during the most recent summoning, and only received a blessing right at the very end of the summoning session. I'd think it was by design, but on one previous occasion my sim did not receive a judgement at all, and on another occasion she received the blessing a bit over an hour before the summoning session ended.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the interaction working the first time, or only at the end of the session, if that's what is intended. 6-13 requests is entirely excessive.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Has been the case since Island Living was installed.

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a design feature I'm not fully understanding.

When my sims interact with the Elementals to ask for judgement, nothing happens. I asked for judgement 13 times during the most recent summoning, and only received a blessing right at the very end of the summoning session.

I'd think it was by design, but on one previous occasion my sim did not receive a judgement at all, and on another occasion she received the blessing a bit over an hour before the summoning session ended. It took her six requests on that particular occasion.

If blessings/curses are meant to take effect at the end of the summoning session, that's fine.

But if it's meant to be "on request", then having to make 6-13 requests (or potentially more) is really excessive and I hope it's fixed.

    Sims with Child of the Island Trait can now Summon Island Elements, Ask for Judgement, and receive Judgement properly.
    ○ I mean, maybe it was a good thing that you were not being judged, but hey, you do you.

    Fixed in Patch 1.61.15

    Similar to me. I tried often, but nothing happens, no moodlet or any else. Then, after well known, the Elementals had given an judgement - I think. I am not sure, if it wa a Moodlet by judgement. 

    You do not really notice, if there should happen something with the option judgement. It should give a negativ moodlet or a light grey option of jugdgement, that explain that an why jugdgement is not possible at this time. 

    The lava chunks behave similar. You do not really notice, if the option decoration has a function and here you do not really notice if the option jugdement has a function. May be it is not an error, but just not a good idea to implement.

    In my game the ask for blessing interaction tends to get aborted while running and afterwards is still available until you finally get a tns/buff telling how well you behaved. Could it be that the game is just lagging behind?

    I've had mixed results asking the elementals for judgement. I think I saw a connection in my sim being 'in the wild' or actually standing on his home lot when I clicked the interaction Even the border of his homelot didn't work, but if he stood near a platform it did. I am unsure whether it needs to be the actual home lot or just a lot in general. Could you all try if this makes any difference for you?

    @SimGuruNick, So basically if the elementals judge there is room for improvement you have no way of showing said improvement and have a go at earning the Sulani Mana trait? Because my sim did all I can think of to be deserving of it and still they say "good boy, now go do better". And now I'm reading your post and have to conclude that this is the end of my options (safe cheating). Please tell me that I got it wrong!

    I have got the same issue: My sim can summon the Island Elementals - but then there is no option to ask for judgment.
