[FIXED] Song/Book/Paint/Nectar progress bar fills up action never finishes

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? 1.97.62.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all except game kits
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try to write a song using guitar
What happens when the bug occurs? the circle fills up all the way but they just continue 'writing' the song and never finish.
What do you expect to see? that when the bar/circle fills up all the way the song is complete and the action finishes
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I haven't played with the music skills in a long time so i'm not sure if this is entirely a new issue or what is going on. 

my sim can't seem to finish writing songs using the guitar. I have to test the other instruments, but i've tried multiple types of music and its not finishing the action. 

When i have my sim do this action, they just continue writing after the bar/circle has filled up and never finish the action.

I have no mods or CC installed. 

I saw a previous thread saying the issue can be caused by having the guitar in the inventory but it doesn't work either way, starting the action while its on the floor or in the inventory

    Sims should now actually be able to finish writing songs. Perhaps those of us with closets full of unfinished projects should take notes.

    Fixed in Patch 1.103.250/1.84

    Yep, it's doing it for my sim too. I removed the Creatively gifted trait, I've gotten rid of the mods and the cache/resource, repaired, nothing has worked to fix this so far. Maybe it's just my save, I dunno, but because of it I wont be able to complete the musical genius aspiration. I've also used more than just the one piano as a test run, still nothin.

    Same problem here. No mods ever. Need I say more, this is obviously a bug.

  • Product: The Sims 4

    Which language are you playing the game in? English
    How often does the bug occur? 100% if they have the trait
    What is your current game version number? 1.102.190.1030
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have all expansion packs, all game packs (except MWS), all stuff packs (except PPSP, CKSP, MHSP, RGSP, BYSP, TLSP, HSHSP), and about half the kits (can specify if necessary)
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim who has completed the creative genius aspiration with the "idea person trait" attempt to write a song or to write books.
    What happens when the bug occurs? The loading bar in the queue fills up green, yet the sim never finishes, and keeps working on it forever. Redoing the action has the same result. This happens regardless of instrument type, however as far as I'm aware, all other creative actions mentioned in the trait work fine.
    What do you expect to see? The task completed, probably quicker than normal with the "bonus" from the idea person trait.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Not as far as I'm aware, I believe it has been broken since the Growing Together pack's release.

    I experienced this bug in my original game, and tested it in a new world to make sure mods were not the problem. The issue happened for a child sim too where she couldn't finish her song on the piano after getting the trait, and followed her into the teen life state, same thing occurred for the test sim. The bug makes completing some aspirations impossible, unless you remove the trait through cheats (I used uicheats).

    While I have experienced this a few times, I've mostly been able to finish writing new songs.  However, what I have noticed is that, if you are part way through writing something, get interrupted/need to cancel (because Sim need to go to work or use the bathroom) the action, when you come back to continue on the song, it starts it all the way over from the beginning.  If you don't finish start to end, you will never have saved progress with it.
