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? Fully updated
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except the Modern Menswear Kit, which is disabled
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start a new save and just play the game normally. Your Sims will start to display inaccurate motive readings almost immediately.
What happens when the bug occurs? I have seen lots of people in my Sims fan group on Facebook complaining about this but hadn't seen it myself until last night. This doesn't happen on my saves created before the last game patch but when I started a new save, I couldn't even play more than a single day because my Sim's motives were inaccurate to the point where he was nearly dying every couple of minutes. He would take a shower and his hygiene bar would still be yellow even though it was full. He'd go to bed with a full Hunger bar and wake up on the brink of starvation even though the Hunger bar was still green in spite of being almost empty. I got no negative moodlets or notifications that he was hungry. The only reason he didn't die was because I happened to have his motive tab open. If I hadn't, I never would have known he was starving to death.
What do you expect to see? I expect my Sim's motives to be green when they're full, yellow when they're 1/4 full, and red when they're low. I also expect to get negative moodlets to inform me that my Sim needs something when they have low motives.
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. The latest game patch
Exactly as described above. I initially thought it was a mod messing my game up but several people have told me they play on console or they don't use mods and have the exact same problem. I tried taking out my mods and clearing my localthumbcache for good measure. It makes no difference. My Sim on my new save is a hot mess. The game is not playable in this state because if I don't constantly have his motive tab open, he'll die.
