Re: [FIXED] [CoL] Hatchable eggs disappearing/spoiling

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? 1.90.375.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All but Bust the Dust kit.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? ( 1 )Buy chicken coop & place it on lot ( 2 ) Buy chickens for chicken coop, one hen & one rooster ( 3 ) Wait until the hen produces a hatchable egg ( 4 ) Collect the hatchable egg ( 5 ) Drag the hatchable egg to the coop to incubate
What happens when the bug occurs? The egg just disappears. At some point between placing the egg in the coop to hatch & the time the egg is supposed to hatch, the egg disappears. The issue persists even with mods removed. ‌
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to hatch the egg. It's not there for me to hatch.
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌This issue has been ongoing since at least April. The original post is marked as resolved but it has not been resolved.

    Having the same issue. I have managed to lucky hatch 2 chics out of 13 hatching eggs. The rest were spoiled and sim cleaned them away. The eggs spoil no matter do you stay in the lot the whole hatching time or visit other lots in between. It does the same whether I have mods on or not.

    Going to try your suggestion next @checster155 and leave the spoiled eggs in incubators and see, if they'll eventually hatch.

  • I tested this again in my gameplay today and can confirm that canceling the action works. Just gotta watch those pesky sims cleaning. All my spoiled eggs hatched today!

    @Gwiniel Incubate until there’s no debate! All my spoiled eggs eventually hatch but I have to keep my sims from throwing them out first !
  • I just bought cottage living and I’ve been putting a lot of work into my game and taking care of my cow and chickens etc and it’s really annoying that I can’t hatch any eggs! I’ve gotten two golden hatch-able eggs now, one spoiled and my sim threw it out -_- and the other one just disappeared after I did everything for my sim not to throw it away!
