Re: [ARCHIVED] Maid caught in a loop cleaning appliances (Neat Trait)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
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? 1.107.151.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything. All the things.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Hire a maid via the phone or Lin-Z for either 1 time only or Scheduled
What happens when the bug occurs? Maid might pick up some dirty dishes, then tries to spray-clean the mixer and scrutinizes it and repeats until he leaves. Even resetting him does not help. If you dismiss or fire, he will leave only after he's been reset. I should note that the mixer has been upgraded to 'self-cleaning' and in the case of THIS game, hasn't been used yet. Also, this is a SCENARIO couple - In His Shadow (not sure if that matters)
What do you expect to see? Maid should clean up the messes and leave.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I am not getting a lastexception file from this error. 

He will stay forever until his 'time' is up - meaning the max hours have passed AND you have him reset. If you don't reset him, he keeps staying. So either reset and dismiss/fire him or reset after he's exceeded his day of cleaning time. Only then does he leave with all my Simoleans! And often hasn't finished cleaning the place!

    @Siluial Could you take the maid to cas with cheats and check on their traits ? Do they have the neat trait ?

    Also, for testing purposes could you put your upgraded mixer in household inventory and buy a new one and see if the same loop thing happens with one that's not upgraded ?

    I assume you tested this with no mods/cc installed ?

    @crinrict I've tested it with a new mixer, yes. If I do not have the mixer, the maid works perfectly. I'll check on that neat trait...

    @crinrict Ok, he DID have the NEAT trait, so I removed it, replaced it with another -- also his cat in his family needed a breed name (how weird is that?!) ... Now he's working fine. THANKS!

    @Siluial Thanks for confirming. I'm merging this with the other thread we have on this although that was the grill and not the mixer.

    I've adjusted the title.
