Re: [BY DESIGN] Meals at public venues/bbq's and spawn timers

Hello, 

I've gone through about 3 different families so far for the new Sims 4 Deluxe edition. I'm loving the game, it's great. I've run into a pretty serious issue though. After deleting the last sim family, I moved in a new sim family into the old house. After realizing that the previous family's stuff was still in the house, including the "elemental display rack", I sold it all so I could have a fresh start. Unfortunately, I've noticed that the rocks and gems my previous sim collected are not there (locations around the world map) for the new sim to collect. It seems that those gems/rocks/etc., are non-renewable as in they are not coming back. This is a huge issue because obviously that means that my new sim cannot complete certain collections like the elements collection.

Basically, I can't fill/complete my Elemental Display Rack because previous sims that I've played as have already collected the gems that I would get the elements from. How do I fix this? How can I complete my elemental display rack if the gems aren't going to re-spawn for my new family to collect?

  • I've noticed the same thing - although I'm still playing my original Sims. All the dig sites have disappeared and are not respawning. There are none to be found in any neighborhood, in the Forgotten Grotto, in the Sylvan Glade, all gone and the frog spots are gone too in the Sylvan Glade (except for the pond).

    How are we doing with this ?

    I know they still take forever and only work when you're on the lot but I think they've added some cleanup/reset function that food shouldn't be on there so much.

    Anyone have any feedback of those of you where the spawner stopped working altogether ?

  • I played my legacy a few days ago and food was still all over the park, dig sites respawn for me but it takes a while (which is normal I guess). xD

    Leaving it on the list then.

    Thanks for your feedback

  • For me, it's same old same old when it comes to the plants on community lots and at the hidden locations. The growth takes a really long time so that my sims have to spend a couple of days at the Grotto or wherever before they can harvest. The dig sites and frogs do respawn around every 24 hours, so I think that in my case it's just a matter of slow plant growth and not really the bug that the OP is experiencing, ie. mine is a feature and not a bug.
