[FIXED] Sim Home from Work but icon still grey
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? n/a
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All content released to date
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have sim in CL Arts Critic career and 2 other sims in household in other careers. One is painter and one in business. Have CL career sim work from home. Send off lot to complete daily tasks and not return to home lot until after the other 2 have returned from work. Both times I've done this, the sim in the business career is home but icon is still grey with inventory inaccessible.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim in business career is not recognized as being home from work.
What do you expect to see? Sim recognized as being home from work
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
Did not take pics. Both times I have had sim in CL career work from home as shown in steps, the result has been the same. The sim in the business career is not recognized as being at home. The first time it happened I exited without saving and hoped it was a one time glitch. The second time it happened I saved after taking the whole household to the SM art museum, saved then exited game and did a reload. That cleared the issue.
Clicking leave work early for the sim in the business career does not work. A pop-up appears with the name blank but continuing by clicking that I want the sim to leave early doesn't work. I think this may be because the CL career day doesn't usually end until the next morning and the game doesn't know which sim should leave work early.
I also got a lastException file. Since the archived thread said to include a game save here is the link: Edited to Remove Link. Reuploaded through One Drive.
Most likely will have to roll back a version since problem cleared with reload. The .rar contains the .save and all versions, as well as the lastException file.
Edited to Add: Just occurred to me that my last save point was after changing households. The affected household is Phillips in Oasis Springs.
Fixed an issue where the UI would occasionally indicate that a Sim was at work, when they were actually at home, which would block access to the Sim’s inventory.- Note: If a save file created prior to this update contains a Sim that’s already in this bad state, simply traveling to another lot with that Sim will permanently fix this issue.
Fixed in Patch 1.51.75
I hope this is fixed for good now .. although it might not be.
I'm going to lock this thread cause it's best to have a fresh me too count if it still occurs.
Please open a new thread if you still have this issue.
Be aware that you need to fix already affected Sims manually by leaving work early or traveling.
