Download the BlueBoi Family from the gallery: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/52E977E4267111EC84797DB6A3FFB678?category=households&searchtype=ea_origin_id&sortby=newest&time=all&searchquery=troshalom&max=50&maxis=false Have the adult female sim go to a commercial lot and Lead a Meditation for cost.
What happens when the bug occurs? After the icon wellness timer finishes counting down to the start of the class the class does not start, it cancels and everyone leaves. The sim does not get paid.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the sim lead the guided meditation with the sims in the class and get paid when it is concluded just like when they lead a yoga class. And I expect the sim to gain wellness skill.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Spa Day Refresh includes this feature so presume it came with the refresh.

When sim leads a guided meditation after the icon finishes blinking the meditation doesn't start, instead every one gets up and leaves and the sim is not paid. She lead four different guided meditations, the first one showed up, the second no one showed up and the third and fourth times three sims showed up. The activity did not complete and the sim was not paid.

Conversely, the sim lead two yoga sessions and was paid for them.

The sim has level three wellness. Also, when the sim meditates she is not earning wellness skill.

This is a brand new family I created this week and I use it in my build world. That save is a mod free save. I created the family to test my lots, and then decided I liked the family and will play the family and try out the new aspirations from the Spa Day Refresh.

    This is happening to me with the yoga class. Also, when everyone stops either at the beginning or halfway through the class, they start playing instruments in the middle of the yoga room.

    What is your current game version number? Latest or SDX 14.0
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? GTW, DO, CL, JA, Spa, VG, Pets, DU
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Visit a spa, set up a meditation room. Promote meditation, host meditation. It allows 30 sim minutes for others to join. Once the class starts it stops and the active sim stands up. I worked the first time. I restarted the game, but every time there after it just stops.
    What happens when the bug occurs? When the class starts the session exits itself and the active sim stands up. If you try again it does the same thing.
    What do you expect to see? I expect to see a sim host a meditation session successfully at a spa.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.

    I did have my Sim try teaching a yoga class and that worked fine. The bug seems to be just for meditation classes. Which sucks because this is my 100 baby matriarch and Sims can't do yoga while they're pregnant. Also I tried on both a spa lot and at home, multiple times, but it just didn't work.

    I noticed this bug report was started in October 2021. Is there no fix or workaround for it yet?

  • So, I've been playing with this content a bit more, and decided to do some troubleshooting to see if I could get it to work or any more information about why group meditation classes fail. I've tried different lot types, household sims versus NPCs, etc. It does look like the bug is related at least somewhat to lot type.

    • Group meditation classes fail about 90-95% of the time on residential lots. It fails with both household and NPCs sims as class members. The instructor and the class members both cancel out of the interaction on the transition from waiting for the class to start to the class actually starting.
    • On select public lots, including spa lots and libraries, the instructor does not cancel the interaction during the transition from waiting to in class, but does cancel occasionally. Some class members do cancel out, but generally not all of them. It seems like household members are more likely to cancel out than NPCs. This is more likely to succeed than holding a class on a residential lot, but this is still error-prone enough to be frustrating.
    • It seems like cancellation happens more frequently when there's another action lined up in the action queue, but this is also not 100%.
  • Whenever my sims attempts to host a paid meditation it can start but all participants cancel and leave throughout at different times. My sim does not receive any payment.
