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? 1.90.375.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Vampires, Get to Work
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start from a saved game. If you've disabled Wants & Needs previously, they will still appear over your Sim's portrait despite being disabled. This happens when you start a new game, edit a household in CAS, go to Manage Worlds, or pick up from where you last left off on a given save file.
What happens when the bug occurs? Wants & Needs still appear despite being disabled in Gameplay options. One must re-enable Wants & Needs, hit Apply, then disable and hit Apply again for them to disappear. They stay gone until you go to CAS/Manage Worlds/start from your last save.
What do you expect to see? I expect that Wants & Needs stay gone when I've disabled them. I don't expect to have them re-appear each time I go to CAS/Manage Worlds/start from my last save file. This happens whether or not I've got Custom Content/mods added.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I got the latest patch (August 2nd hotfix for rapid aging/inappropriate family relationships).
I pretty much explained what the problem is. Wants & Needs re-appear above my Sims' portraits even though I've got them disabled. It shows in Game Options > Gameplay that they are disabled, yet they're still there. I have to check "Show Wants & Fears," hit Apply, then disable Wants & Fears and hit Apply again. It's only a temporary fix; if I go to CAS, Manage Worlds, or restart my game/go to the main menu, they show up again as if they're enabled. It's the same thing each time.
Mine toggles on everytime I reload as well. But another part of the glitch I'm struggling with the most is when it is off my sims still gets scared of the dark (even when the wants and fears are toggled off), but now my sim gets "scared of the dark" during the day, outside all the time. So he's essentially scared all the time and can't do anything cause he's to scared.
- t00sa3 years agoNew Adventurer@elizabeth2929 This bug is the worst. Because of the broken toggle, even sims in inactive households can develop fears. I like playing with multiple different households in a single save and switching between them when I play. It gets really tiring to keep track of who has a fear and who doesn't...
The best you can do in the sims rn, is just building or creating sims- HawnaKitty3 years agoNew Ace@t00sa The worse bug is the plant and flower bug in Seasons. This one is irritating though
- t00sa3 years agoNew Adventurer@HawnaKitty Well, what is worst would depend on the player. I don't play with plants/gardens much, and also I don't know about this bug too much (I'll google later) and also also haven't played the sims in quite a while bc of this bug and the curved platform bug...
