[FIXED] Invites to social events from NPC's End Within Seconds

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? 1.51.77.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have all ep's and sp's except for the vampire sp.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have your sim send a text to a friend or romantic interest while in a happy or flirty mood and wait for that friend or romantic interest to send a request back, asking if your sim would like to hangout someplace. Accept the request at whatever location that your sims friend or romantic interest chooses and the timer will start at the top left, along with stating if you're hanging out with friend or possibly on a date.
What happens when the bug occurs? The timer starts it's countdown. Mine started at 4hrs I think and started to countdown and then it just disappeared around the 3 hours mark. Like the very early 3 hours mark. Last, I looked at it, it said 03hr47 and after that, the outing ended. The timer disappeared.
What do you expect to see? The timer is suppose to do a full countdown from 5hrs to 00 or from 4hrs, 3hrs whatever time frame it starts at, it's suppose to last the full 5,4, or 3 hours. Instead it seems to end within 30 seconds or less. I don't even want to say 30sec. It seems like it end sooner than that.
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

As I mentioned above, my sim sent a happy text to his girlfriend and she invited him out to a park. As soon as they got there, the timer for the hangout started and is always displayed at the top left corner in the game. I believe the timer started around the 4hr. mark and then I noticed it went to 03hr47. As soon as I took my eyes off of it, the timer was gone as if the hangout session had ended. I wanted to test my theory to see on whether or not this issue was caused by a mod, so I took all of my mods out of my game and I still had this issue regardless. I've been having this issue for a long time. For maybe over a year. I saw another post regarding a similar issue where sim would disappear off the lot as soon as they get there, which I had that issue at one point, too. However, it was slightly fixed but I do get invited from sims such as teens, children and other sims who will still leave the lot. Probably because I get these invites around the time that the sims are suppose to be at school or work. However, I also feel that if they send the invite, they shouldn't leave and I get this a lot with the kids and teen sims who want to play hooky. Either way, the event ends. As for my current issue that I mentioned above, the sim who invites my sim out after he or she sends a happy or flirty text, actually does stay on the lot that she invited him to but the timer for that event just disappears. The timer moves at a regular pace as it counts down. It doesn't speed up or anything. It just counts down for a few seconds and then it's gone as if the outing ended. I have no idea what is causing this issue or if it's just some sort of glitch within my game only that hasn't cleared. I say this because even though the sims team has claimed to fix the glitch where sims who ate the fruitcake and felt that every food after that was nasty, I still have that glitch in my game where 2 of my sims still make the face where they don't like the food. It just didn't resolve itself. I know I'm mentioning a lot. I'm sorry. I just don't know how to clear these issues.


  • Invites from NPCs to social events at venues will no longer end seconds after your Sim arrives at the venue.


    Fixed in Patch 1.54.120 .. or at least I hope so. Let me know if you're still having issues.
