    @crinrict Please unmerge.  This is a completely different issue.  The first issue, the action would complete but sometimes I would not get the animation.  This issue the action will not complete at all.

    @canelacaliente Could you upload the video to youtube. It's way too small when you upload it here.

    Does the other also still occur or no longer cause now this ?

    @canelacaliente You have Eco now, right ? Could you confirm for me that you're back on the old bug now and this one only occurs without Eco ?
  • I have an Erratic sim whose un-coded quirk used to be that if it was raining, she was outside, showering. I typically play with full autonomy; this was of her own accord. It particularly amused me because the household was renting a cramped apartment in San Myshuno at the time, so her shower was everyone else's public sidewalk and would she please think of the children.

    The same sim has stopped doing this, either autonomously or when instructed, in recent months. I describe the failure similarly to what others are saying. Sims will not shower in the rain autonomously in my game. If I order a sim to shower in the rain, they will go to the spot I indicated and stop. The action will then disappear from the queue.

    Lot type and lot traits don't seem to matter. This failure occurs for other sims and in every world I have tried, including San Myshuno.

    I sometimes play with mods that influence autonomy, but whether they have been used in a save doesn't seem to matter.

    I don't have Eco Lifestyle or Outdoor Retreat.

    [Edited: There was another comment here but I am not sure about it anymore.]

    Sims can now Shower in the Rain… Jury is still out on Singing and Dancing.


    Fixed in Patch 1.69.57/ 1.35

    There are two threads on shower in the rain and I'm not sure if they fixed both or just one.

    Taking feedback if this is really fixed.

    Looks like they partly fixed the other bug and not this.

Get Together, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Parenthood, Jungle Adventure, Strangerville, Realm of Magic, Perfect Patio, Spooky, Romantic Garden, Backyard, Laundry Day, Tiny Living. As well as the free Holiday Celebration pack and Grim's Ghoulish Guitar.
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play with a Sim until it rains. Click outside while it is raining, and select "Shower in the Rain."
    What happens when the bug occurs? You Sim will walk to the location on the ground where you clicked on "Shower in the rain," and do nothing.
    What do you expect to see? I expect to see them Shower in the Rain. This was supposed to be fixed in the latest patch, but I guess not. This was my first opportunity to test it out, and turns out it still doesn't work.

    Please describe the patch or change you made. The latest December update: patch 1.69.57.1020

    I tried saving and exiting the game, clearing the localthumbcache.package and still no change. Is there anything else I need to delete or clear? This bug occurred on one of my newest saves. Does the patch only work on brand new saves, post patch? I've not yet tested a brand new save, but shouldn't the patch work on save from before the patch?

    Edit: I've tested a new save and shower in the rain still does not work. And again retested after the 1.69.59.1020 patch.

    @crinrict I have eco and I am unable to shower in the rain. Also, when my Sim is eating and I click the Shower in the Rain option, the Sim tries to multitask both options but fails.

    @canelacaliente for light or heavy rain ? There's another thread for light rain. For me it's working fine for heavy rain.

    @crinrict

    Heavy rain while eating: Not able to shower. Sim goes outside. Comes back inside. Then puts down the plate.
    Heaving rain while not eating: Able to shower.
    Light rain: Not able to shower. It doesn't matter I my Sim is eating or not.

    @canelacaliente Thought the person on page 3 made a new thread for the light rain but seems they didn't

    So guess make two new ones ? One for the eating issue and one for the light rain (afaik you should only be getting the option in heavy rain)

  • I am on vacation in the jungle. There is heavy rain but my sims won't complete the action to shower in the rain. This is pretty important because they are in the jungle and no actual shower is nearby. I thought the rainstorm was a blessing but not if they can't shower in it.
