Marking this as solved since I didn't get any new reports
For fun ? Energy ? The free will one ?
Has anyone found a permanent solution to this? I did what was recommended and the issue came back after 5 minutes.
Are the developers aware and/or are working on this? It's really frustrating and I don't feel like playing this game anymore, especially if ridiculous bugs like this are presented to players.
Did you try moving around the furniture ?
Could you maybe also upload your save game and PM the link ?
Does it happen in all your houses ?
Is the bug back for energy only or also free will and fun ? Did you use claim beds or was it just there ?
No furniture was moved.
No beds were claimed.
It happens in all my houses.
The bug only affects fun. Sims will not autonomously fill their fun need.
According to the lastexception.txt file there is an issue with "\Server\autonomy\autonomy_modes.py", line 1678, in _score_object_interactions_gen "
Replacing the lot temporarily fixes it, but the bug soon returns.
Hi @Darnellcotez I've play tested this for hours and I haven't been able to find out why it affects some Sims and not others. Obviously the devs have tweaked the autonomy/fun gain levels, hopefully they'll have figured out a fix SOON!
Resetting the lot as per @PeopleMatterMore solution works, but I found that I had to replace the beds because they are automatically claimed, and in my game that borks the energy buttons. But after resetting the lot the fun button did work for one of the three adults in my household, the other two I think have stressful characteristics, for example one is ambitious, and the other is a game designer and suffers a lot of stress during work.
It might have been wise at the beginning of this thread to list the traits and aspirations, age, employment etc of the affected Sims, maybe we could have found a common cause as it's simple enough to change their personalities in CAS.
edit: don't waste your time on the above! I've got a stack of paper in front of me with lists of traits and aspirations etc, and I can't find common ground in any of it.
Still I have one adult male that autonomously fills his needs and all the auto solve buttons work.
One young adult female who cannot do anything autonomously any more and stands outside at the front of the house for hours! The auto solve buttons for hunger directs her to the ice cream maker, energy to the coffee machine, and social to trolling the forums - all of which raise her fun levels.
And one adult female who can fix her needs autonomously, though it rarely happens quickly and she seems to spend a lot of time idle. All her auto solve buttons apart from fun work normally.
The other two family members are a teenage and a child sons, they seem to be able to find their own fun. But the teen boy's auto solve fun button doesn't work.
It's not completely the game breaker I was moaning about in the first place, it's most definitely improved since following @PeopleMatterMore suggestion, but the fact remains it's broken, and most likely that's because the devs have tweaked the settings in preparation for some future content and that's just wrong! Why not hold off with the fiddling until they're ready to release what ever it is they've got planned?
@DashTheBomber0 I merged your post. It's the same issue.
I appreciate moving my topic to the similar post, but as I mentioned I did research and tried all the solutions that have been given thus far, I even tried repairing the files by right clicking on the sims 4 in my library through origin and no files seem to be missing. I also noticed the same as the other fella mentioned these sims have no real common threads other than being relatives and the worst part is that it isn't simply energy and fun.
My sims can't handle any of their needs NOT A SINGLE ONE unless they are red . They do not do anything for extended periods of times if their needs are green and worst yet the fun and bladder are iffy at best. I've had one sim pee his pants 5 times in 2 sessions in a house with 5 toilets!!! I tried moving my family to the gallery and they lose all their money so I can't place them in a house that's obvs worth 350k I'm pretty much stuck.
So yours might be different after all then
Are you using mods ?
Hi @DashTheBomber0 resetting the lot as suggested previously does seem to make a big difference, I felt much the same as you and I stubbornly refused to move my household out because my hardworking Simself had over a million simoloeons that they would have lost had I moved them to the gallery.
But that's not how to do it...
edit: I forgot about the mods! If you are using any drag that folder onto the desktop and dump the cache If there is anything in there, mine is empty) then
The auto-solve issue will probably still affect them in some way, but hopefully it will be better.
Good luck
As I stated in my original post, I have used absolutely zero mods and only one expansion. I do have the deluxe version of the game though.
I will try this, but look this is merely a band-aid and we shouldn't have to jump through these types of insane hurdles to be able to enjoy a game which we paid good money for.
The AI shouldn't be this bugged period and I'm seriously upset. Also I don't have any mods.
Have you also try turning off free will and turning it back on.
I do still believe yours might be connected to the same bug. Might not, it's hard to tell.
Yes I have actually, it was the first thing I thought of due to years of customer service.
Sorry if you stated but I can't keep everything in mind: Do you have the same issue on a new save game too ?
Happy to look at your save if you want me too. Just upload it somewhere.
I too have this problem, and can't come up with a solution.
I've played about eight or nine households in the past couple days and have visited at least as many. I don't use the 'fun' button, but do use the energy button.
When changing households I notice that a small percentage of the sims will go to sleep, or nap automatically without me telling them too. But after the first time, the majority of those will no longer choose to do it automatically, nor will the energy button work. I've had a household that appeared to have the majority of the sims behaving like they should but I moved the beds to a new location, then no sims would rest automatically or with the energy button. They would have a bed selected. For the most part I have to manually click on a bed for the sim to sleep.
When I visit other households, there may be a very small percentage of sims who will go to bed automatically. The rest of them just stand in one place until they pass out or until they have to use the toilet. I think they would starve to death if I let them. Once they wake up from passing out they stand there until they pass out again. Painful to watch. ☹️
I use mods to automate things, and have not removed them. I probably will since the game is no longer playable in this fashion. I too do not micromanage every sim every minute of the sim day, and of course have no control over sims whom I visit.
This problem came about at the same time 'select bed' was an option. I have never done that manually, but it happens once a sim uses a bed.
Something that came about just before the update (which I figured changes were being made on the server) is that my Sims get stuck in doorways. (not all sims and not all the time) and it's just the main entrance ways to buildings. They eventually snap out and will be doing or have done the commands that were issued prior to them going through the door way.
