[NEEDS SAVES] [GT] Club leader is too old or dead, they're still the leader

I think I've found part of what caused this issue. The leader (Abella) has the "natural leader" trait from the "leader of the pack" aspiration, which no other sim in town has. Although she should still be removed as leader when she no longer qualifies for the club, it would seem this trait check causes her to remain as leader.

But playing Abella, I also don't have the option to resign as leader because the game doesn't think she's even in the club, but I can still talk about the club with members of it, which will tell me that Abella is the leader.

In this case where the leader is still alive, I was able to cheat and give the other girl (Eliza) the Natural Leader trait and convince Abella to step down. But I have yet to find a workaround for my games where she is dead (I always use existing saves to start new families to preserve the old family lines, so all my families have their own saves which are branched off from the original family I played).

I had a similar problem when a child sim club-leader aged out of a child-only club; it's an OLD bug/problem.  If you're willing to use mods, google for "Scumbumbo's Club Mod" --it's over at MTS.  Save the game, d/l & use the mod to fix change your club leader, save after your change is made, and then remove the mod.  Leader will still be fixed.

I keep that mod in my Electronic Arts folder where it remains unactivated/unused, in case I ever need it again.  It wasn't technically 'up-to-date' when I used it--maybe a year ago?--but it worked just fine and didn't screw up my game at all.  Use and remove!

Of course, it'd be better if the problem gets fixed, but it hasn't yet?--and it sounds like the same problem I've had since GT came out.

Hope this is helpful.

Idk if anyone else has experienced this but for example if I have a club with certain requirements and the leader of the club no longer meets those requirements, he is removed from the club and the club no longer has a leader. But in actuality he is still the leader because I can have another Sim approach him after the fact and ask him can he step down. Then that person will be leader and will get the little crown symbol.

Problem is I have a lot of clubs and don't remember who the leaders were so I can't go up to that Sim and ask them to step down. It's very frustrating because now I can't make any changes to the clubs.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Create the club 2. Set requirements (in my case it was financial status) and invite members 3. Stop fulfilling requirements 4. Go to Clubs -> Join clubs 5. Click Info 💡 button on your former club 6. Remove the requirement
What happens when the bug occurs? When you try to leave, the game freezes and the only way to fix it is restarting the game.
What do you expect to see? I wish club owner would be informed and get the option to remove the requirement rather than be booted out of own club, or they should be able to do it afterwards but without freezing, or in worst case there should be no option and no game freeze.

My Sim got removed from her own club.

I've noticed I am still able to remove requirements from the club browser.

Doing so and confirming the changes freezes the club window, and in the result, the game. Pressing Escape allows to quit/save and quit but the game crashes when you attempt to do so.

Used mods previously but uninstalled them and cleaned the cache for testing.

@theselse Merging this with the club leader too old/dead issue. You're symptoms are a bit different cause you're trying to remove the requirement but the core issue is still a leader that can't really be leader for various reasons.

This is likely the inability for club to find new leader at the time the old leader becomes unqualified.  I remember watching this a while back, club leader die game looks to promote leader member of club to new leader, new leader unavailable, do to witness of Death, on a active work lot or working or at school.  I also notice clubs won't promote a leader during the process of aging, or if a sim is pregnant and or in labor.  Once one of the sims in the group meet the requirements of leader, they will be given the crown and the old leader will be removed.
