[HR] Horse Competitions not completing (other actions afterwards)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.99.264.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? A lot - newest is horse ranch but i have majority of packs and expansions
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When you enter a horse competition, the horse and rider enter to complete but the rider comes out before its finished and the horse stays in the competition, and the competition doesn't finish, even if you wait until closing or change lots
What happens when the bug occurs? You don't get your winnings, but the money to enter has been paid
What do you expect to see? A pop up to show how you placed in the competition and if you've won then money award
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? 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. As it relates to new expansion for horses, and its new content, yes it happened after installing horse ranch

To start with the competitions worked as normal, but now When I enter a horse competition, the horse and rider enter to complete but the rider comes out before its finished and the horse stays in the competition, and the competition doesn't finish, even if you wait until closing or change lots, not sure if it's all the time now, but last 3 days, and 2 restarts, its continued to happen

  • @charliebecks Have you tested this with another Sim to see if the same happens ?

    Does the rider queue anything when they come out ?

    Happens with other sims, seems to be if i try and queue something else, or add another horse so it trains at same time as other is competing, thats when it happens, if i just enter one horse and don't queue anything up then it works, but not great if you have multiple horses as would prefer they don't just wait outside until i finish.

    Rider queued different things, just tends to go about normally while horse is stuck competing.

  • It happened to me when I entered multiple competitions. The first competition worked fine. The second one my horse left the lot but my sim came back from the first and wouldn't leave againa. The horse was stuck outside the lot and calling it back wasn't working. I entered a 3rd competition in hopes it would prompt an action for my sim, but the 3rd horse left but my sim continues to stay on the lot. Now both horses were stuck outside my lot.

    I went into "manage worlds" and loaded back into the lot. That worked for the 2nd stuck horse, it brought back the "join competition" action on my sim for the competition and my 2nd horse came back.
    It didn't fix  the glitch for the third competition, and the 3rd horse was still stuck outside the lot. No amount of reloading the game fixed it.
    I exited the game and removed all mods and reloaded.  

    I eventually used a teleporter mod and brought the horse back to the lot

    I'm also having this issue (have rebooted) and I am trying to have one horse go to training while the other competes.

    Also, when I bring three horses it will only show one as available until that one has competed, then it only shows the second, then finally the third. It's like I have to enter them in the right order. Always the same order

    Hello @RevAlisonM 

    We have noticed you have recently hit me too on this bug, 


    If you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)? 

    If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file.

    Instructions for sharing files with us are here: http://x.ea.com/74420

    Thanks!

    If anyone else on this thread still seeing this bug without mods and is willing to share their save file kindly follow the above instructions link (shared above) and DM us.

  • FIX FOR PROBLEM (ish): I have the same problem, however, I am able to resolve it by:

    - Clicking on my "rider" sim's relationships folder

    - selecting the horse that is stuck in the competition

    - selecting "travel" on that horse

    - (destination does not matter, select any lot)

    - upon loading in, my "rider" sim's task becomes the competition that needs completing.

    My sim is able to complete the competition after this along with the reward.

    I had two horses that both were stuck in competition, I had to repeat these steps for my other horse.

    ** Make sure to save your game right after **

    Obviously there is still a bug problem, but this was just a work around I found for the time being.
