Re: [ARCHIVED] Tooltip indicates wrong object

I had one of these strange tool tips some days ago:

This golden hen definitely isn't a plasma fruit tree.

  • I've had this happen recently on Xbox Series X but it stopped when I restarted my game. I was hovering the pointer over flower arrangements and paintings in shops and I was seeing the info for my Sim's double bed instead. Sometimes it was overlapping with the info for the item too.

    I keep checking to see if it's going to do it again but nothing so far. As soon as I closed down my game and restarted my console it stopped.

  • I got it happening again yesterday where the wild rabbit tree stump home was labelled as the Sixam Mosquito Trap.  It doesn't close down either, it freezes there.

    Hey all,

    Just checking in to see if anyone is still seeing this on a modless game as we've been unable to reproduce it on our end.

    If so please share your save file with us (instructions: http://x.ea.com/74420) so we can take a look.

    Thanks!

    Just got this today with multiple objects being identified by the tooltip as perfect dragonfruit plants

    It happened only for a little while and then stopped, and I have 2 mods in my game currently (HomeRegions and the Simmatically shopping cart button remover), so my save is probably not useful, but neither of those mods should relate to tooltips

    or dragonfruit plants

  • My wife is currently playing a modless game on our Xbox One that is having the same issue intermittently. Here is a video of it occurring. I also want to add this isn't the first time it's happened. There were some apple trees being identified as Caprese Salad not too long ago. I'll grab more recordings if/when it happens again.
