[GT] Ghost cant form or join clubs

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
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? 2.3.2.2310
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything up to date (Nov 13)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have ghost (child?) create a club and add members to it, then play one of the members and check if they are still a member/if the club is still there. Or/and try to add a ghost to an existing club.
What happens when the bug occurs? I made a club with a ghost (was also a child but Im not sure if that matters) and added members, then I played one of the members and not only was she not in the club anymore, but the club also didnt show up in the list of existing clubs to join. I tried doing it the other way arround, living sim made a club, but the ghost never shows up when selecting members.
What do you expect to see? For ghost to be able to create and join clubs.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Ever since L&D

Nothing more to add

Edit By Crinrict: adjusted tags.

  • @AgnesValravn I removed the LD tag as you can play ghosts with base game only too, they just don't have the powers system afaik.

    I assume you didn't test this without the pack ?

    My system environment may be different from yours, but just for your reference.

    I have the "Get Together", and don't have the "Life and Death". 

    I cannot reproduce the bug.

    test1

    I created new Sims (a mother ghost and her child ghost). 
    I was able to make the mother the club leader and make her son John the club member.

    John can form the club, too.

    test2

    I have the Sim who is the kid's club leader.

    When he died, he quit the club.

    After he becomes the ghost, he can join the kid's club again.

    Note: he is the 'new' member and not the leader.

    @crinrict no, I didnt test it without LD but this only happend after I got LD, so I wasnt sure about the tag. I also am unable to invite ghosts to events (except funerals) btw, I dont know if this is related or should I open a new report for it?

    @TakeJa oh, thank you for testing! I have some questions tho: Where all the members in the sane household? Did you add the members via the selection screen or have the leader invide them in live mode?

    Did you switch households after the club was formed and if so, was the club still there with all members?

    If you are willing to test again, I can give a step by step to what I did, but of course you dont have to.

    @AgnesValravn There's a report for meet and greet not working with events so I checked and I was able to add them to other events I've tested.

    Do they not show up for you ?

    I also tested your scenarios for clubs now and they do work for me. I can add child ghosts and I can also create a club with him.

    I do have the pack.

    Maybe it's something about that particular ghost ?

    @crinrict regarding events, I havent tested it that much, just one of my sims was friends with only ghosts and none of them showed up as available guests, it only showed the two living sims she knows and nobody else, I dont remember what type of event it was though.

    As for the clubs, I will test it again/further, with other sims and ghosts. Just to be clear though, the ghost could form a club and add members, but when I switched to a different household (who had one of the members) the club was completely gone, like it deleted itself or something. But yeah, will do further testing.

    @AgnesValravn yeah, that's what I tried. Made a ghost child (in CAS) and had them make a club. Added 3 extra members then switched household to one of the other members and the club was still there and the child the leader

    @AgnesValravn

    I'm not very good at English. I apologize if my writing is unclear.

    Q Where all the members in the same household?
    → After your questions, the ghost boy joined Elsa's club, League of Adventurers. He can join the club.

    Q Did you add the members via the selection screen or have the leader invite them in live mode?
    → I added the members via the selection screen. I also had the leader invite the ghost boy. Both ways, he can join the club. He can be a leader or a member.

    Q Did you switch households after the club was formed and if so, was the club still there with all members?
    → I switched household to Elsa Bjergsen or other members, and the club was still there with all members.

    Oh, I cannot have any leaders invite Lord Bernard & Lady Mimsy to the clubs.
    Is this not a bug, but by design?

    @crinrict weird...the only other thing I can think of is, that Afterlife Anonymous was going on when the ghost made the club. 

    However, I made the club again with living sim of the other household and then had the ghost "apply for invite" and she was able to join with both the club remaining and her still being in it after household switching. So, even if it happens again at least I'll have a workarround now.

    Thank you for testing too!

    @TakeJa no worries, english isnt my first language either. Sounds like you did everything the same way as me, so idk what was going on there.

    As for Bernhard and Mimsy, they might be "special sims" and thats why they cant be invited, but Im not sure.
