[FIXED] Sims Showing as off-lot while at home
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? 1.47.49.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Famous, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get to Work, Dine Out, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Backyard Stuff, Romantic Garden Stuff, Movie Hangout Stuff, Cool Kitchen Stuff, Perfect Patio Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? N/A/unsure. My only hunch is that it may be relevant to a sim in the acting career not being around to fulfill a job when time passes playing with a separate family and their audition/work day is passed.
What happens when the bug occurs? When I load up my family living in the Del Sol Valley starter home (unsure if relevant but worth mentioning) it treats it as if nobody is home at all when they are all technically "home". Nobody is visible in the house and when I try to click on their grayed-out portraits, it allows me to ask them to do tasks such as care for selves, work on skills, etc as if I was using one active sim away from home and the rest were at their home lot.I tried resetting sims, no luck. I tried the sims.summon_sim_to_zone cheat as well to no avail.I took a sim from a different family that is not experiencing this glitch (so far it appears to only be this family but I can't be certain) and had him visit the lot. When he knocked on the door, it showed everyone inside and he was able to perfectly interact with them. I then right-clicked one of the families with cheats enabled to edit in create-a-sim, something I learned in the past would then transport me into using the family of the sim clicked on if they were not my active family, and once I hit "accept" after entering create-a-sim, I was transported to using this family and once again, the same glitch was occurring. Everyone was simultaneously "home" and not home.
What do you expect to see? My family should be in their home when the game is booted up and the game regards them as being home.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Updated to recent patch that came out with Get Famous.
In the attached screenshot, you can see the sim that I brought into their home in an attempt to get them "un-stuck" is bottom left from the purple couch. If I let the game play, he still interacts with their home and is present but they're nowhere to be seen.
We have fixed that bizarre issue where you’d have your Sims travel home, and then you load into your home lot, and your Sim’s skewer thumbnails are all greyed out like they’re not there, but when you hover over the skewer it tells you your Sims are at home. But like, they’re not at home. You’re staring at this empty lot, unable to play your Sims and you’re like.. “Is this even my home?”. And you start to question whether you selected the right lot on the map, but then you’re like “Wait, yeah - this is totally my home. But where are my Sims? It’s telling me they’re at home, but they’re not here.” Anyway, this should be fixed now.Fixed in Patch 1.52.100
Hopefully for all cases
