[OPEN] Puddles spawning underneath bathtub and cannot be mopped up

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
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? 1.24
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Give a toddler a bath.
What happens when the bug occurs? After bathing the toddler, puddles spawn that are partially underneath the bathtub where the Sims cannot mop them. When you cue them to mop the puddle, they just stand there waving their hand with the thought bubble over their head indicating that they can’t go there. I have tried changing to a different kind of tub, but the issue persists.
What do you expect to see? I expect the puddle to spawn next to the tub where a Sim can mop it up, and not mostly underneath the tub where they can’t.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

Not being able to mop up the puddle is a problem because the Sims then get a constant uncomfortable moodlet from “unpleasant surroundings”. The only way to remove the puddle is to go in Build Mode, remove the tub, go back into Live Mode, have Sim mop the puddle that was underneath the tub, go back to Build Mode and put the tub back in place. Obviously, this is a problem as it happens every time you bath a toddler. And my game has a tendency to crash when exiting Build Mode. :-( 

EDIT by Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Added Base Game Version Number

  • Can this finally be added to the nearest laundry list??? Or is it completely forgotten?

  • @demon25970 I'm assuming the powers that be deem this a low priority issue, as there are 1000 other bugs in the game, and this has a workaround, albeit a really annoying one.

    I, too, lag from entering and exiting Build/Buy Mode, so I get the annoyance.

    EA has a whole host of tech peeps working on this stuff around the clock ... Couldn't they pull just ONE of them off a big ticket glitch to deal with this problem ... Just for a while ... See if something can be improved ...

    @slytheringoddes I agree. Honestly I don't think it's such a big problem to fix, so it's even more annoying that it's taking so long to fix this.

  • @demon25970 Right? Like, I know nothing about coding, but I feel like this SHOULD be a small fix.
    It seems so minor to me that I can't help but wonder how it wasn't knocked out in a single afternoon lol
