[FIXED] Invisible items when first entering CAS

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? 1.58.63.1010
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Enter CAS to create a new family. Click on the Sim's top or bottom to show the catalog and then scroll up.
What happens when the bug occurs? Items on the top of list are all invisible
What do you expect to see? Items should all show up correctly
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. 1.58.63.1010

This bug only occurs the very first time when you open the catalog after entering CAS. It will fix itself as you switch the outfit category or the clothing category, change the filters, or anything that refreshes the catalog.

After comparing the UI files between 1.56 and 1.58, I've determined that the new lines added to olympus.data.ArrayDataFeed.RemoveAllItems() that skips destroying the current data feed when there are no items in the data feed is the cause of this issue.

public function RemoveAllItems() : void
{
  if(length == 0)
  {
    return;
  }
  Destroy();
  var _loc1_:DataFeedEvent = new DataFeedEvent(DataFeedEvent.REMOVE_ALL);
  dispatchEvent(_loc1_);
}

Removing these new lines fixes this issue.

  • I can confirm that this has been fixed in game version 1.59.73.

  • @elelunicy Hm, can't get this to happen on a new save. Does this only happen for you if you get a male Sim right after start ?

    With or without story mode ?

    Interesting that you found a line for it in the code.

    @crinrict I always skip the CAS story mode. It happens to both male and female Sims. The save file doesn't matter as both starting a new game via the main menu or editing a household in an existing save file have the problem.

    @elelunicy Hm, funny. Couldn't see it on either (also skipping story)

    But .. I'll forward (always trust you)

    I assume the age group doesn't matter either ?

    @crinrict The only variable I can think of is that I play TS4 at a very high resolution and I have my UI scale set to 50 (the default is 100). Upon further testing this is indeed the cause. Revert the UI scale from 50 to 100 indeed fixes this issue. I've been playing at 50 UI scale for years now though. The game never had this issue before until this patch.
