Re: [FIXED] [DU] Cannot make offering at Secret Society (stuck item)

@gloomyearthling  & @Hface44 , do either of you happen to use Mods or CC? 🤔 If so, please do the following:

1) Move the Mods Folder to your desktop

2) Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder.

3) Fix you game in Origin by logging in and go to Library, then right-click on The Sims 4 and choose the "Repair Game" option from the list.  Wait until Origin finishes repairing all your packs and not just the base game.

4) Now, when you turn on your game again, it will create a new mods folder that will be empty.  Check to see if your game is now working without mods/CC.

5) Now you can try adding back items from your Mods folder one at a time checking your game each time to see which item is causing your game to not work properly.  If you have a lot of items, you can try the 50/50 Method. 

The CC creators will usually update the CC items and Mods after these updates, so when you find out which one is the culprit, you can get the updated version from whoever made that item of CC in the first place.  You should try these steps anytime you have problems in your game to rule out CC/Mods problems.  It is the responsibility of the Mods/CC creators to update their items anytime EA releases a patch/update, and it is the responsibility of the people who use Mods/CC to make sure they are using the most recent version. 

Now, if this doesn't work or if you don't use Mods/CC at all, then this might be a bug.  I didn't see your bug in any of the Bug Reports yet, so you would probably have to create one (at least one of you).  Here is the link:

Whoever doesn't fill out the Bug Report can stil contribute by clicking on the "Me Too" button at the bottom of the post and then add your expierience in a post below the initial report!🙂  But if you use Mods/CC please do the above steps to rule them out as the problem first! 😇

    @PugLove888 I did this and it still won't work ☹️
    I don't think it's a mod issue I think it's a bug issue. The only time this happened to me was after I arrived at the ritual 1 sim hour late on a Thursday or Friday night and the piece of refined gem wouldn't move. I even went back during a non-ritual time and it wouldn't budge. I am pretty sure this is a bug

    @smolxbeanx QA is looking for saves for this so if you could share yours as Nick asked above, that'd be great
  • This bug is still not fixed as of Aug 2020. I have removed all my mods and repaired all of my installed game packs and I am still unable to make new offerings because there is a crystal stuck on the altar that does not belong to my sim. I guess I'm just going to have to give up on advancing in the secret societies until yeah he gets around to fixing this. Here's hoping they get around to it soon.
