[FIXED] [S] [CL] Rain/Gnomes break Unbreakable objects and can't be repaired

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? 1.44.88
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them as of 16/07/18 All are installed.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? As you can't force the gnomes to break something - you need to wait until they break an unbreakable object.
What happens when the bug occurs? After angering the gnomes they tend to break most, if not all, objects in your house. If they break an unbreakable object - it cannot be repaired by either a sim or the repair service; you have to replace the toilet via build/buy or the replace option. The repair action doesn't have a progress bar like you would expect either. This breaks the repair sim too - they get stuck repairing the object and will not stop unless you move it in build/buy. After a while you cannot dismiss them as it states the sim is already leaving though they are stuck repairing the toilet forever So far I've only seen this occur with the "Sweet Escapes Country Toilet".
What do you expect to see? Toilets should be repairable if broken by gnomes - or just not breakable by gnomes as they have the unbreakable trait in the build/buy description.
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? No

    • 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.

    Sorry  yes I do own a pc and the following  titles of Sims 4. Sims 4 , Sims 4 get to work,  Sims 4 get famous, Sims 4 outdoor  living, Sims 4 spa day, Sims 4 get together, Sims 4 pets. It is definitely  the gnomes  on Harvestfest. If your sim angers  them when appeasing the gnome. It randomly  breaks  items . Including items with unbreakable  upgrade or is unbreakable  when  bought. I also had an issue where  gnome makes  a basin dirty with self cleaning  upgrade . And my sim could not clean said  basin. Thank you for help. Hope  the guru's  fix this.

    SimguruNick i have uploaded my save files to google drive link as follows https://drive.google.com/open?id=1sN_qM1tFcFrqFbkdrENWrlRNDrQB0IvF and  https://drive.google.com/open?id=12ZeFkEu3G0vN1vsSc8W8PaXmVMgDluQe .The save file in the game is called gulp10242test1  and gulp10242test2 which shows that gnomes breaking upgraded objects.One of the bug's is the sink becoming uncleanable with self cleaning upgrade. Workaround is to have another gnome get angry(indicated by red flame above head of gnome) next to sink and sink reverts back to clean. I also tested in gulp10242test2 with unbreakable toilet where gnome breaks the toilet. Thank you ANTONJPTER..
