[FIXED] [PH] Vanishing Placemats

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? n/a
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Parenthood and Toddler Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Get a sim to set the table with any placemats, and then get them to grab food from the fridge or from a plate (before they've sat down at the dining table).
What happens when the bug occurs? A sim grabs some food, walks to the table, puts it on the placemat. The placemat then vanishes!
What do you expect to see? The placemat should not vanish until the plate/bowl has been picked up to be cleaned or moved.
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. After the November 2017 Patch (the bigger one), and I had to update my computer to run macOS High Sierra, Versions 10.13.1

If a sim is sitting at the table and grabs the food from the centre of the table without getting up, the placemat won't disappear. If you drag the plate/bowl to the placemat yourself, it will not vanish as well. This shouldn't matter though, as my sims should be able to sit with a placemat regardless!

    • Table settings will no longer disappear when Sims sit down to eat.

    Fixed in Patch 1.47.49

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? With Parenthood GamePack, make a sim put a placemat on the table. Then make food with any sim, and do the sim put the plate on the placemat. When the sim puts the plate on the placemat, the placemat will disappear next. IMPORTANT: This bug only happens when Sims put plates on the placemats. This bug does not happen when the player himself places a plate on the placemet using the hand function that the game offers.
    What happens when the bug occurs? When the Sims put plates on the placemat, the placemat disappears.
    What do you expect to see? I would like this problem to be fixed, even because it has been in the game for months, has been reported 3 times, and so far nothing has been done to get it fixed.
    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? Neutral/Not Sure 

    I just can not take it anymore. This bug has been in the game for over 6 months and so far it has not been fixed. And the worst is that it affects one of the most interesting features of the Parenthood Game Pack.

    We put the placemats on the table, but when the Sims put a plate on the placemats, they disappear.

    Adding a Me Too and hoping that Maxis fixes this soon as it's ruining a core part of the Parenthood pack.

  • Such an annoying issue. Can we please get this fixed! 

    My sims are massively obsessed with laying out placemats since the seasons patch so it would be nice if there was actually a point to their obsession 🤔
