Neutral/Not Sure My sim just graduated from university with honors and was able to join the tech guru career at level 7 (internet personality branch) from the get-go. i was excited for the ability to start live streaming at attempted right away. but every time I try, she resets to standing by the chair with no actions in her queue. doesn't matter what game, every form of livestream resets her. i tried saving an exiting. i tried sitting her down in the chair first. i tried resetting her through testingcheats. nothing is working. any help at all is appreciated. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title

Live Streaming as a Tech Guru should no longer reset your Sim Fixed in Patch 1.96.365/1.71 If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

@Only1OfMe333 Do you get any lastexception files with this ? It's a file in your user folder.

Hi! I need some help figuring out why my sim in gameplay isn't able to perform the action "Stream lets play..." in the "Play Game" options on the computer. My sim is able to play any other action on the computer, but that one, otherwise it erases a different action and glitches out my sim. I tried restarting and repairing after updating the game. I'm not entirely sure what to do next. Thanks!

Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.
If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

@Only1OfMe333 To be sure, you're using the computer to live stream and not the Video station from GF (not even sure if that's an option there atm)

@crinrict Yes, I'm having my sim use the computer.

@Only1OfMe333 I can't duplicate this but since I have early access to HSY that doesn't mean too much

Does it matter which computer you use ? Did you try a different house ?

@crinrict She has the most expensive laptop. However, her household was affected by the long-lifespan age-up glitch and I've had to abandon the save until a patch arrives. I'm currently creating a new save. It may be a couple of irl days until I get her through university, though. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

I was able to reproduce this with a new sim by using cheats to promote in the Tech Guru career, same thing with different computers in-game. Created a short screencap of what happens in the link under. (Google Drive link like EA suggests)
