Hi,

The neon signs don't work when it rains and when the sun is back the neon sign is still broken.

I will add "Instant Repair" is missing when the sim gets the "Handy" reward trait.

    • Neon signs no longer break due to rain.

    Fixed in Patch 1.112.481/2.05

    I tried with the "Open" sign.

    In fact, I've got the same problem with the coffee machine (Café lot) which was broken by the rain.

    Each time, I repair it, it's directly broken again.

    I hear the Broken sound 2 or 3 times while the sim is repairing the object.

    Did you try to repair them while it was raining ? That didn't work for me either cause they constantly re-broke.

    For now, I would suggest putting them under a roof. That works well for me.

    Hm, That worked fine for me multiple times.

    Can you test on a fresh save for testing purposes ?

    I just saw you posted in the thread where you can't repair unbreakable objects. Is this the case for your neon signs/ coffee machine ? They are unbreakable ?

    The neon signs breaking outdoors is more than a bit ridiculous since their primary use is outdoors. I had to mod this myself to stop them breaking, because it was driving me nuts. Maxis definitely needs to make it so neon signs are weather proofed.
