Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.134.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them, besides Jungle Adventure, toddler stuff and fitness stuff pack.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place Fabricator down, use it multiple times, it should be heard in live mode coming from the fabricator.
What happens when the bug occurs? Once the sim has used the fabricator a few times, the noise of the fabricator continues where the fabricator is, even once the object is removed, or placed elsewhere the machine, buzzing noise continues in the place it was and where it has been moved to. If I move the fabricator somewhere else and my sim uses it the same noise appears afterwards in the new place of the fabricator. It won't stop making the horrible noise.
What do you expect to see? Once my sim has finished using the fabricator there should be no constant noise afterwards.
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. New expansion pack Eco Lifestyle. It's only happened with the fabricator so far.
Basically, I've installed the new expansion pack Eco Lifestyle and used the fabricator to make new objects and after using it maybe 10-20 times, a noise had appeared right where the fabricator is, the noise is a constant buzzing sound, like the fabricator is being used even when it isn't. The noise only happens when in live mode.
I moved the fabricator to the other side of my sim's house and the noise is stuck where the fabricator used to be. I then used the fabricator again in the new place on my lot and it started making the noise again. Now I've got two horrid noises in my game in two different places. I've restarted the game twice and it's still there, in both places. It's not an easy noise to ignore either.

This sound is harrying me as well and my fabricator did NOT break. Ugh.

I just looked this up because I couldnt figure out where the sound was coming from. I had already replaced the broken fabricator so then I just deleted it and the sound is STILL there. My game is also not recognizing when my sim has fabricated an item to count towards her aspiration...

We once had the same issue with singing. Did you fast forward while using the fabricator?

Thinking about it, I believe I did hit fast forward while my sim was using it, but I can't know if I did for the first time she used it, or when she was completing the object, or both.

I have had the same problem, except the noise started the first time my sim used it, and even when it didn't break the noise continued. I have tried til replace the fabricator, but so far the only way I have found to remove the noise is to move lots.

So, how persistent is this bug? Is the noise still there even after leaving game completely and starting a new save? I hope not because otherwise installation files were corrupted.

Yes and even when I turn the lot into a market space the noise still continues.
