Re: [FIXED] [LS] No Gallery Sim in Cupids Corner (existing lovestruck saves)

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? 1.108.349.1020 DX9
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions except Star Wards
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Cupid's Corner, it won't show any gallery sims.
What happens when the bug occurs? Every time
What do you expect to see? I expect to see Gallery sims in Cupid's Corner, as well as the Sims I go on dates with to reach out with unique messages.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. This was the first patch since Lovestruck was realized that the issues happened.

When Lovestruck first came out, it worked perfectly for a DAY.

Then a patch came after and it stopped working. For example. The first day, Sims from the gallery would show, there would be unique message from the Sims my Sims went on dates with when I got home or just randomly, it was cool, it wasn't just a regular date it had some realism to it. Then something happened where a bug was fixed, and this caused me an even bigger bug. I don't complain I've never made one of these but honestly just fed up. I've played this game for sooooo long. Right.

So Cupid's Corner stopped pulling ANY gallery sims, still doesn't after the 1.108.349.1020 patch, why are we releasing patches without testing further? Cupids Corner now doesn't take any time to load (awesome yes??) , but its because i realized its just recycling a bunch of Sims I've already seen, NOTHING is new. What is the fun in that? Also, any unique messages from Sims i've been on "dates" with stopped, its just like I'm playing the game with no expansion pack and how it was before. There is nothing unique and new and that's what was exciting the first day I got Lovestruck, now all of that is gone. Can I get a genuine fix please?

Yes, I've clicked and unclicked the Cupid's Corner game pack option tabs a million times, tried it a million different ways. Its just not working anymore, even after this recent patch and I know it CAN work because I had it the first day it came out.

    @isevenserIt seems to work if you start a new game. Even though it's working it isn't pulling my favorite cas sims I made onto Cupids Corner. My own sims won't show up which is discouraging.

    I would love that if I didn't have hundreds of hours on this save :/

    I just find it weird they're saying its fixed when its really not. I should be able to open my existing save and play without issues. Makes me very worried if I do all the work to recreate worlds, sims and relationships on a new save, and a new expansion comes out and something along the same lines happens It would of all been for nothing. 

  • So, I commented here a few days ago about how playing on a pre-Lovestruck save didn't show the matchmaking error, I've been playing on it ever since without any problems. Today, the same error happened on this save and now again I don't see any sims from the gallery in Cupid's corner on this "new" save. I think it's a bug that may not show up at first, but eventually it will and I don't know what happens for it to happen.

    tl;dr: the last exception will happen, sooner or later.

  • I am commenting to say that I was talking to someone in a Sims 4 group on Facebook who asked the same question. They weren't getting any gallery Sims, and I have noticed that I am not either. It would be nice if my Sims could not date old branches of my family that I am intentionally leaving without a partner.

    Hey all!

    Thanks to the Simmers who provided their saves on this, we've discovered the root cause and are in the process of testing a fix now. 

    I'll provide any updates I get on this one going forward in the thread, so stay tuned here.

    @EA_Cade Thank you so much for the great update, that’s exciting, so happy we are getting a fix for our existing saves!! 🙂
  • Any updates on this?

    My whole game is still is not working properly after the release of Lovestruck. Still no gallery sims. I've practically memorized what sims will come up on the app because nothing is being pulled from the gallery, it's just recycling a line-up. Still no unique date notifications after going on dates with sims/getting a romantic connection. 

    "Unique" romance notifications example: A friend sim of mine sending a notification like "I found a ring in so & so's bag, I think they're going to propose!"

    Also, my sims are being mean on dates with no prompt to do so.

    But that's just the beginning as this thing has opened up a new can of worms.

    It's almost like I don't even have the expansion pack installed. Unless I physically play in Ciudad Enamorada, the only difference in the game is the change of scenery, everything else feels empty and unchanged. Either something in the coding is not speaking to or signaling things in the game entirely, I don't know. But it seems like it was not ready to release in the first place.

    After the first patch when Lovestruck was released, my game now crashes when pulling any lots from the gallery, randomly crashes when travelling to another lot, and does the infamous infinite loading screen I see everyone talking about on the Sims 4 page comment section on Instagram, now I got it ☹️

    I just want to play my game, and all the expansion packs I've paid for, properly.

    PLEASE

    Hey all!

    This issue should be resolved in the next base game update as mentioned in the Laundry List here.

    @EA_Cade Thank you!! 🤩 I noticed that the laundry list section for Lovestruck actually only contains all the old posts from the past patches already and no new items, are you sure they have made a new change regarding this issue? It sounds like it is just the first Cupid fix that was already in the last patch and didn’t fix the issue retroactively? I’m wondering if the team forgot to add all the new fixes for Lovestruck to the list?

    • Players who had saved after using Cupid’s Corner while Gallery Sims were not available were still not getting Gallery Sims there after the previous update. NOW everyone who is online and has the feature enabled should see them.

    Fixed in Patch 1.109.185/1.98
