[FIXED] [LD] Second Rebirth doesn't work

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? 1.110.294.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All - every single one.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I can't "rebirth" more than once! For my already reborn sim, who is now a ghost, when ready and eligible to be "reborn," he just goes swimming in the big pink bog, instead of being reborn, when choosing "rebirth."
What happens when the bug occurs? Endless swimming without clothes in the pink bog, and sim disappears from the game when exiting (or going to manage worlds), but no rebirth.
What do you expect to see? I expect him to be reborn, as he was the first time.
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. Latest updates and game pack download, 10/31/2024.

When trying to "rebirth" a ghost sim that's already been "reborn" once, he gets stuck endlessly swimming in the pink bog (disappeared from all game files), without being reborn.

Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title. Please see this for more information on adding pack tags to your title.

  • Sims with certain Reward Traits can now go through rebirth without any Simulation errors and are taken to Create a Sim as expected.

    Fixed in Patch 1.114.46/2.12

    @alamna74 Could you test if you also have crashing issues if you use a human Sim that never was a werewolf ?

    I did also try it with another sim in my household. it removes my rebirthed one into it's own household. After it dose this if i put the infant back in the household it left the game crashes out. so no werewolf rebirthing got it.I also checked to see if it was a lot trait failure so i chose a lot with no traits, end result the same. werewolf infant left alone in inactive choices. so not only has difficulties re birthing he can not go back home. how sad. -.-. well til he ages up anyways. Funny thing is I only wanted rebirth so I could flesh out my sims life from start to finish cause some of them are like 10 years + old in rl. he would have never died the first time had he not drunk the spritzer anyways. after he drank that he became  a ghost as intend but it dropped an urn into his inventory. At that point I was like well he's technically already dead so, I used traits.equip_trait lightning to finish the job. Can't kill a full traited werewolf so it had to be done this way unless i used a moonpetal.so that was how he died in the first place. a failed drink then a cheat ghost trait add. And this all happened when he was a teen. so kind of a dramatic story full of monstrous bugs Villans and buggy messed up deaths along with a hard rebirth. Dr. Who anyone? :O

    Does anyone in this thread have the untroubled reward trait from HSY ?

    I cleared his traits by eating the moonflower petal. only way to do it I know of. my next thought was to cure him completely before rebirth. he had also died twice and did have his urn at his home when he went to rebirth. I read somewhere you might have to take it with you. even though it says they like to visit them after re birth. as far as traits goes he has a very high amount to figure out if it is a trait would take me weeks. almost all aspirations complete and traits bought so on and so fourth. Were wolf infants have always had difficulties especially so with the greater and he was one of those. greater infants can be saved by themselves but it tells you it's an invalid household and best to be deleted. how ever after you add it to another household it's fine. so the issue for me could simple be him being a were wolf. plus if they die more then once before they rebirth it causes another issue as well. I don't really know what it could be for my sim. but the ones this tag was for is probably because of multiple deaths. I really have no further guesses about what is wrong or what i can try. I'm fine with him sliding into in active and working with him from there but it's just not as advertised.

    No i was not asked. my sim was single and the only one in his household. I tried 3 times to rebirth him, then i got an idea to check the manage worlds because it was able to be used. I scrolled the list and found him there as an infant in my inactive sims. I picked a random household BFF's and moved him in to it. Load them up and he plopped down and was reborn just like the videos show. I had no age selection or body selection he's always an infant with no trait until I add him to another household and load it in and then the game picks his infant trait on it's own. Further, this same was a grater werewolf those are buggy infants any was so not sure how much that was in effect. I cleared his werewolf traits before i rebirthed him cause a full powered werewolf can't even die or age anyways. there was no screen of any sort just plop there he  was as an infant needing a home, after i choose rebirth. I tried adding another sim to his household first, that crashed the game. the two before that I simply restarted the save after waiting a period of time before I figured out world management was able to be used. and as for the person talking about the attractive trait. that's a mod and no it doesn't change anything for you. And you should only utilize mods after you know how everything works. I use no mods until I know what's going on.

  • I'm not sure if you're all reporting the same thing.

    @mdonnoe Does it work for you if you try with another Sim ?

    @alamna74 Were you not asked in which household you want to place the Sim ?

    I only tested this very shortly but for me, I could choose the household the reborn Sim should be in and then I was taken go CAS.

    @CharityCodes What do you mean by you didn't go to CAS ? Did you have the same symptoms as OP or did it fail somewhere else ?

    EDIT: I've adjusted the title to make this more general for the moment until it's clear what's going on.

    Might need to split this somewhere down the line but in my experience, if we start out with multiple threads, I'll just be doing a lot of merging and splitting.

    After he goes into the pond wait a few secs. hit go to world management. look through your inactive sim list. you will find your sim there with it's household name as an infant. from there you should move it into another household. if you choose to simply add a sim to the infants house hold it will load in and crash. so is best to move it into an npc household and turn it active. Don't know how well the rest will work for it but thats the only way I can do it right now.

    same for me except I find my sims as an infant in the households menu. He's by himself and since infats greaters don't act right if I put someone in his household to make him usable they pop in with no traits. so your sims is there it's removed from the active menu placed in unactive with it's household name just as an infant . so it's there but what to do with it after that who knows.
