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.

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.

@crinrict The strangest part is that I don't have any new lastexception file in my folder and the latest one was created a few months ago -and I wasn't encountering with T-pose glitch at those times.
What do we mean by "get reset" by the way? I don't think it could be associated with my system since I have a high-end PC and my RAM/GPU is way above the standarts.

@jasonbrok47 Basically what happens is that the interaction Sims are doing is abruptly interrupted which instead of the interaction taking place in full, makes the Sims T-Pose and 'reset' to a safe space as some error occurred. That happens a lot and can have several causes.

Unless you have a lastException or can pinpoint it with exact repro steps, it's usually difficult to find out what's going on.

@jasonbrok47 I merged your post with the build mode reset as this was your title

Someone else made a thread for random resets here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Sims-on-lot-Randomly-Reset/m-p/9757487

Could you post there as well ?

I've been seeing this too but I can't say I noticed it happening before one of this spring's updates. I believe one time I sold some promotion bonus stuff from the household inventory and bought and placed a coffee maker but that was already enough for the good ol' T-pose to occur even though the sims were not in the same room at the time.
