YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. after the patch 1.36.99.1020 Any computer put on the "THE front desk" show only "order" has options

@GazoD1233 There's an issue with one of the desks that can cause interactions to disappear. Don't think that got ever solved. It's the Front Desk but maybe there's others that cause similar issues cause that one removed everything but the order interaction.Could you try the same chair/desk combination ?

I feel like this issue just keeps flipping back and forth.It started when people put up a bug post saying that "The Front Desk" that appears on active career lots didn't show up as a desk option for buy mode at home.Then they added it to home lots and broke it completely for Get To Work career lots.If fixing this for home use breaks the desk again for active careers, I'd rather it just gets banned from home use because I'd prefer having the receptions working in Police Stations, Hospitals and Science Labs.Right now, as of the June patches, it's working as intended on Get To Work job lots.

Hi @MarFloCaro it's the desk you're using. It's a known issue (I had completely forgotten about). I've merged your post with the bug report on this.

Duplicated this bug. EA, please fix the Front Desk object so all standard computer options are available.

Tested the game with no mods and I still have the issue with a particular household. I have a Programmer and an Astronaut in it, and the computer pie menu has very limited options, such as order stuff, social networks and salvage parts. All other options are gone, and the problem is in that particular household, tested one with an artist and a scientist and computers work fine there. I have the impression it's career related. And it's sad because it's my Simself household 😢
Here´s the lastexception code, added it as an attachment too so whoever wants to download it, can do it easily.

Hi @MarFloCaro

Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, mediafire, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

Hi @Danana1997

they still work without issues for me

Try repairing the game through Origin

Try selling the computer and get a new one

Thanks, I've tried both of those steps already with no luck.
