Send a Sim to a lecture and she will get stuck in class, even though I can see her return to the dorm after a while.What happens when the bug occurs? My sim will go to her lecture but will officially never leave, the game thinks she's still in class even when I can see her in the dorm. I cannot pick her or control her since she is "in class". Nor can I get her to leave class early.What do you expect to see? That my sim will leave her class once its over and that I can control her again.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No, vanilla.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? I have had other Sims in other saves attend University but this is the first time one of my sims got stuck in class. I have not done any changes to my system and no recent patches that I'm aware of.Additional info: For me this issue appeared on wednesday ingame (the save file is on thursday). The save file is two sisters that has just begun University together, they live in the same dorm. One of the sisters, Jenny, was out of class for the day while her sister Judy was in her last class for the day (between 15.00-16.25). I decided to send Jenny to the library lot in the University world and before she even had walked into the actual building I got a notice telling me that Judy had left class early and done poorly in class (she hadn't been in class long at all). Her icon showed that she was still in class and so did the popup text when I hovered my mouse over her picture. That's when Judy got stuck. I cannot tell Judy to leave class or control her otherwise.I have tried reloading the save and the game, use the resetsim cheat, go into build mode, let Jenny travel to other lots but I couldn't choose Judy to tag along since she is unavailable. I have also tried the "repair game" option in the Origin launcher.I saw SimGuruNick requesting a save file in this issue so I uploaded mine to onedrive: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlQeAT7mC14hhGIRazo0vagl2L2V?e=aiPgGD

Occasionally (10% - 49%)What is your current game version number? 1.63.134What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of themSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I really don't know how this error occurs, because I've never been able to replicate the actual circumstances that get it to happen. But, once it DOES happen, the error itself is pretty replicable.What happens when the bug occurs? So, visually, the Sim's portrait is greyed out, indicating that they are at work or attending school/uni. They are, however, not actually doing so and are instead still "instanced" on the lot (as in, still physically there, can direct them around, etc). Whenever you select one of the "career tones" as they are called (the options from the Sim's icon indicating what you want them to do -- work hard, easy, slack off, etc.), an a LastException (sans MCCC) or an Error Logged (with MCCC) will occur.What do you expect to see? I expect Sims to properly be able to go to work/school.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? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. I don't know if this has occured before, but we've seen it a LOT since the University Expansion came out.Hey Crin, another bug report, yay. So, I am still not entirely sure the circumstances under which this arises, but I am very certain of the errors that result from it.Attached are the MCCC Log, when MCCC is installed, which results from selecting one of the career tones, as well as the Last Exception that results when MCCC is not installed. I have also attached a Save in which the error occurs. The save did have mods in it (it is from someone who had the error -- they sent it over and I did testing), but the error occurs even without mods.To replicate the error in the save, simply load the household. One of the Sims, Alicia Bynes, is said by the game to be "at school", but they are clearly not. Selecting any of the options, such as "Actively Listen" will make the LE/MCCC log occur.As a note, the MCCC log happens because MCCC "looks" at the same place in code as the error occurs, and since so many people use MCCC, we rarely on the Deaderpool server see if in its LE form.The intention of this thread is primarily as a source of documentation for this bug, so we can send people who get it here.

This happened to me earlier today. I had two sims at the library by the schools, then I took one sim to Britechester for class, then she went to class and I switched to my other sim at the library. From then on the sim that went to class is grayed out and all the same bugs even when she isn't at class.

Hello, Anyone know whether this has been resolved yet? I downloaded the packs on Sunday and now one of my sims is stuck in class, cant view the inventory or return home at all.Happy new year all!!Steph x

@stephdavies It's supposed to be fixed but as this is just a symptom of a bug, it can still be happening. Does your Sim have a job ? Are you playing one or more Sims and did you switch active Sims while at class ?

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? So how this bug happens is that when one of my sim attend her class, I then sent 2 other of my sim members to the gym.
What happens when the bug occurs? After arriving at the gym, the sim who still had her class suddenly left early around 9 although it says that she should finish at 9:30am. From that point, the class icon was stuck forever in her portrait. This makes me unable to see her whereabouts when I click the portrait nor I could make her go home to her dorm as there were no house icon at the bottom right of the portrait. Lastly, on the next day she is also unable to attend her class anymore although the notification says she has attended but then I still see her wandering around outside the lecture building plus no notification of the her progress appears after the time where the class is supposed to end
What do you expect to see? the class icon disappears after sim had left class and also dont make sim leave the class early when I sent other sims traveling to other lots!
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Before the February 4th patch has been released. My previous sims who had graduated never experience this issue where one of them would leave their class suddenly when I make other sims travel to other lots during his/her class hours.

I’ve seen a similar case to mine where it says that this issue has already been fixed for PC platform. However Idk why this issue suddenly occurs after I downloaded the recent patch. I downloaded several lots from the gallery that has been made by other simmers so Im not sure if this also causes the bug as it could be regarded as CC. But I strongly felt that this is not the factor of what caused the issue.

I’ve seen a post made by a player who had suggest to buy another homework & textbook, as the inventory of the stuck sim couldnt be accessed thus wait until the end of the term as the class icon would disappear, but Im not willing to do that as my sim didnt even attend her class and also no notification showed up stating her progress.

I’ve also tried every possible ways such as reset sim and move household together but that stupid icon is still there no matter what. I dont want to make my sims withdrew from the term.

@celiboy77 From your picture it looks like you only have one Sim in your household. From your description, it sounds like there was more than one ?
This is actually just a symptom of a bug which is why it will re-occur even after they fixed one cause.

On PC, this is currently still open:

@crinrict Sorry I just want to add up. With That photo I’ve already made that sim split from my other household members and move her to other household lots to check if the icon is still there.

@celiboy77 Then I'm guessing you have the first issue that's also still an issue on PC.

The only way I found for stuck at class Sims is to wait till the term is over. That should unstuck them.

@crinrict Thats odd cause I’ve checked the post that had the same issue as me. If I’m not mistaken it was originally written by Shanz0313 and the status says it has been fixed already. Also one simguru stated on the post reply by saying that this bug should not be occurring anymore.
And with the suggested method that you have given me, Im still quite uncertain to try that as my sim did not attend her class anymore after the icon remains on her portrait. Im just afraid it will make her fail and shes gonna be on probation.

@celiboy77 The getting stuck icon has several causes. It's a symptom, not a bug in itself.

Something goes wrong and the icons stays as at work cause the game doesn't fully get executed.

The fixed one issue that caused this but there's still more.

So this issue that you're referring to: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-DU-Sim-stuck-in-class/td-p/8430127 is different from the one with multiple household Sims but it show the same symtoms (getting stuck in class).

@k23johansonIm just wondering, with this bug does your sim always leave their uni classes once you try to sent and switch other sims to different lots??? Because Im also currently experiencing this issue due to my sims always leaving their class early even though their time hasnt finished yet when I make other sims travel to other lots. This is why the class icon is stuck in my sims portrait as she left her class suddenly before the time ends.
Has anyone experience the same problem???
