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? 1.46.18.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except for "My First Pet Stuff", "Toddler Stuff", "Fitness Stuff", "Bowling Night Stuff", and "Kids Room Stuff" Disclaimer: This bug never occurred until I installed "Seasons".
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Upgrade any electronic (Seems to happen mostly to systems that use the Radio (electronics that would break if in the rain) with "Fixium Wiring" which is the upgrade that makes it unbreakable, and leave it on. After a few in-game days, it will break and be unable to be fixed by anyone. Note: MAKE SURE it has the unbreakable upgrade, as this glitch doesn't happen if it doesn't have it.
What happens when the bug occurs? Electronics that have been upgraded with the Unbreakable upgrade still break, and when they do they cannot be repaired (It's just an endless action with no resolution).
What do you expect to see? Electronics that have been upgraded to be unbreakable should not break (and if they do [ex: being in the rain] they should be able to be repaired, or they should repair themselves automatically).
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. I installed "Seasons".
Hello, I've seen this bug for a while. I started playing this game a few months after seasons was released, and have quite enjoyed it. However, I've noticed that any system that has a radio in it and has been upgraded to be unbreakable will still break. when these items do break, they cannot be repaired (If they don't have the unbreakable upgrade they repair just fine). I feel like this glitch has something to do with the rain, because I once had a stereo in-game that was outside and broke because of the rain. My butler would then try to fix it while it wasn't raining, and couldn't. He would just keep trying until he got electrocuted to death and another butler came and fell into the same trap.
However, the items don't need to be outside for this to happen. If an item is unbreakable and inside, it will still break if the radio is left on too long, and then it cannot be fixed no matter how long a sim tries to repair it. This seems similar to the one that broke in the rain, though I'm not sure if it is related or not. (Might be worth looking into though). I'm not sure if they only break when it is raining outside or if it's not at all related, but I do know that they cannot be fixed no matter the weather.

Hi @zinerith
thank you for your report.
This is an already known issue and I've merged your post with the existing thread on it.

- Gnomes will no longer break unbreakable objects.
Fixed in Patch 1.47.49
Going to mark this as needs input because I think the rain also did break stuff. Not sure if that's fixed.
- 7 years agoIt's not fixed.
It still happens.
I never saw outdoor objects broken.
However definitely unbreakable objects in indoor break.
Not only electorics that upgraded but also the most expensive bathtub that should be unbreakable breaks.
I think it's not related to gnome or holy day events.
It happens anytime.
