I did some testing on the Two-Up Two-Down lot as well. I found I could recreate the reset almost every time if I put a couch in the middle unit on the left (white exterior), 1st floor, against the back wall and had a sim nap on it. If I deleted the walls of the nearby bathroom to the left or even the bathroom in the far left unit (same level), it would reset the sleeping sim on the couch. If I moved the bathroom to another location and then deleted remaining walls, the problem did not occur. Sometimes the problem simply didn't occur after going back into live mode and putting her back to napping on the couch. I might need to swap back and forth between live and build, trying it, once or twice before it would happen. Still, it shouldn't be hard to recreate. Here are my examples: Above - the arrows indicate the rooms where knocking out walls caused my sim napping on the couch to reset. Below - the arrow shows how I moved the bathroom away from the main structure. I could then knockout remaining walls in the main structure (or the moved bathroom) without causing the reset. Given that this problem can be recreated on demand in this manner, I'm going to go ahead and add it to our list.

This most definitely has been happening to me. I set tasks for sims to do, then enter build/buy, and when I exit it, I notice all tasks I’ve set up for multiple sims have disappeared. Sometimes merely switching between household members seems to cause resetting/clearing set interactions as well.

Going into build mode and doing nothing will also reset the household.Also, going into CAS will do this too.Not just when they are sleeping, even when they are eating or doing another activity.

Sims teleport to the side of the bed for no reasonWhat do you expect to see? My sim was sleeping on the top bed and got teleported out, and next to it when entering build and buy. sometimes sims on other places do too.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. this appeared after the bunkbed patch updateI played without mods or cc first and the issue appeared, of course the same issue appears when I add mods.

Hey there, Not sure if there is a thread like this, but as I described in the title, whenever I intend on buying/something via build mode Sims are switching to the T-pose for a second or so since the patch 1.67.45.1020. I think this is a bug because I've never been encountering with this before.So EA, please kindly look into it and solve this problem.

You say you deleted something unrelated, but is it in the same room or in a completely different part of the house ?

Sometimes in the same room, but sometimes in a different part of the house.

The last one I noticed, I deleted something on the ground floor and when I went in to live mode, everyone upstairs was out of bed.

I just tested this in my game and I have no issue with them resetting unless I move the items they are using

You say it only happens sometimes. Do you find any pattern ?

I can't see a pattern at all.
The last time it happened was just now - I moved some dining chairs from the kitchen to the household inventory, and when I selected Live Mode, a child who was on her way down the stairs in the next room reset and ended up stuck underneath them.

And again, minutes later, deleted a wall in the living room, and a sim in the next room along stopped cooking. I would guess that if there was a pattern it might be to do with rooms that are joined by a wall or ceiling?

Could you upload your house to the gallery so I can check if I can duplicate on your build ?

Okay, just uploaded. It's called Two-Up-Two-Down

I did some testing and I did see one reset when my Sim was walking down the stairs.

As there seem to be others that have the same issue, I'll add this to the list to see how many more see this (also forwarding to QA).

I get this at random as well. I wonder if it's because the game is connecting objects on the other side of the lot. I know sometimes when I go to delete something (or construct), the game will highlight something else on the lot far away. It doesn't look like the objects should be connected, but for some reason, they are. James aka TheSimSupply demonstrated this recently when he was building a house for his super sim. He would build a wall on one side of the lot and the stairs on the opposite side would disappear. (don't recall the name of the video at the moment, else I'd share).
