[OPEN] [DHD] Client getting stuck during home renovation

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? 1.175.125.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All but the Star wars one.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? During the dream home decor where i have completed the renovation the sim Bess sterling became stuck in the 4 story home in the Eco living world and i could not complete the last part of the renovation and after trying reset sim i could not get her out of there because build mode was locked off and i was given a fail and loss of reputation once the sim time hit 9pm.
What happens when the bug occurs? The sim walked through or glitched through a walled off area of the home and could not get out nor could I open build mode and remove the wall for the sim to get out.
What do you expect to see? I expected the sim to not get stuck or at very least for reset sim to relocate the sim to at least outside the wall.
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. Installed the new Dream home Decorator game today as well as the most recent update released a week or more ago.

After installing the new Dream home decorator pack, I played maybe two other renovations and I came to doing a renovation for Bess Sterling in the Eco living world. During the final reveal after they walked upstairs Bess became stuck in a walled off area near the stairs on the 3rd floor of the house. I could not get to her to get the final approval nor could I use build mode to remove the wall so she could get out. I tried to use resetsim as well as I enabled cheats and tried shift clicking to get her to reset. After several sim hours at about 9pm sim time the game sent my sim back home and told me I got a bad reputation as well as I didn't make any money for the renovation stating that the sims did not like the renovation even though 1 out of 2 of the sims said they liked it but I could not get the other sim to look at the renovation nor get her opinion or approval. Build mode should stay enabled during the reveal or at very least reset sim should relocate the sim back to the front of the lot. unless there is another way to relocate a stuck sim.

I do not have mods or custom content.

  • I used the cheat bb.enablefreebuild and made room for the stuck client to come out and then fixed the space back after. Hope this helps

  • @xRaptorX8same for me. My sim and one of the clients was stuck outside a window of the Jang Apartment. They were completely invisible but I knew my sim was there bc I double clicked on their icon and the camera moved outside the window. I couldn't teleport my sim back inside. Resetsim cheat did nothing. I just had to get out losing all progress too.

    Thank you! Thankfully I looked it up before my day ended. I see that many people have had this problem hopefully EA fixes it soon. I put in a door and left it there. Not sure if i will get to go back to her house but if so it won't happen again. Even though I know how to fix it now. Thank you again!

    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    What is your current game version number? 1.77.131.1230
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except Realm of Magic, Star Wars, and Paranormal Stuff Pack.
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When you play Dream Home Decorator and go to reveal the renovation with the clients.
    What happens when the bug occurs? When you play Dream Home Decorator and go to reveal the renovation, a Sim will get stuck outside of the house walls. Every time I have done a renovation (three times now), a Sim has gotten trapped there and could not come back in to view the renovation or give their "final verdict".
    What do you expect to see? Sims should stay in the room, not exit the walls strangely, and be able to view the renovation and give their final verdict.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes

    What is your current game version number? Not sure where to find it - it's the most up to date version as I keep up with the updates through Origin.
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Pets, Decorator
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Complete a decorator gig.
    What happens when the bug occurs? When one or more household members are ready to discuss their final verdict of the completed decorator gig. I've tried exiting the game and going back which worked once but now it's not working so I can't complete the gig.
    What do you expect to see? The household member/client is stuck in an area my sim can't access - for example on the roof.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.

    Similar thing just happened july 20th 2022, apparently what happened is that the mother and father of the Harris family from eco lifestyle decided to get jiggy with it upstairs as I was getting final verdicts from their children and the grandmother. They both got their final verdicts as they were "in bed" and now they are stuck being lumps under the sheets that I can't interact with. Can't go into build mode because I am hosting a reveal event and the game won't let me. This is my achievement save so I guess I'll just have to take the L and see what happens when the timer runs out.

    This just happend to me. Came searching for answers too, only to find everyone being told to teleport. I just added him to family then removed him after teleporting him back to his apartment via cheats. It did give me what I'm assuming was his household funds, but as I'm playing a legacy (not really doing official rules), I took it as payment for the hassle.

    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Home decorator, cats and dogs, wedding, university, high school, cottage, get to work, holiday celebration, and tiny living.
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When I am finished decorating a client's home and invite them inside to reveal the renovated space, the client gets stuck outside and won't come in. I am also unable to end the "Guide Client" task. It's happened 2/3 times I've decorated clients' houses.
    What happens when the bug occurs? I am unable to end my "Guide Client" task and am stuck as well. My only option, if it allows me to, is to cancel the gig.
    What do you expect to see? I expect that the client will follow me inside and allow me to show them the new objects in their house and complete my assignment.

    I just downloaded several packs at once during the spring sale, including the home decorator pack. Just recently updated from origins to the EA app as well.
