Greyed out Icon
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? IDK
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Expansion: Cats & Dogs, City Living, University, Get to Work, Get Together, Seasons Game: Dine Out, Outdoor Retreat, Parenthood, Realm of Magic, StrangerVille, Vampires Stuff: Bowling, Cool Kitchen, Laundry, Movie, Tiny Living Kits: N/A
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Attending work, school, clubs, activities, etc.
What happens when the bug occurs? Any time my sims go to work/school/activities off the lot for their shift they never "come home". For example, if my sim works 9-5 they will leave for work at 9 and when there shift ends at 5 they will appear back on my lot, but their icon will remain greyed out like they never came back. I can have them do things around the house but I can't access their inventory. It occurs for every family on every lot.
What do you expect to see? I would like to be able to have my sims go to work/school/clubs without having to have them quit and reapply or go in cas every single time.
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? Neutral/Not Sure
I have tried everything to fix this issue, but I am at my whits end. The issue can be temporarily fixed, until the next work/school day when it occurs again, if I do one of two things.
1) Have them quit. If a sims quits it will fix the icon issue, and when I go back to apply for a job it will give them the same position they previously had.
2) Go into CAS and exit.
Leaving the lot and returning home does not fix the icon. Leaving work/school early does not work either. Updating the game and repairing files also does nothing.
It really kills the mood to want to play knowing that if they work 5 shifts that I will have to have them quit or go into CAS after every single shift. It also doesn't allow my sims to turn in homework or get new homework from school. I don't know what triggered the issue, but I am unable to fix it. I've had the same CC I always have had and never had any issues with it till now. If anyone could give me any ideas on how to fix it I would greatly appreciate it.
