Re: [FIXED] [S] Sims can't shower in the rain (No Eco Pack)

@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.

@crinrict The other bug doesn't occur now because shower in the rain is not working.

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.]

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.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)

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.

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.

@amoeller87 I did some testing and I think they partly fixed the other bug and not this one.

I merged your thread.

@nixnamed @Sinyora87 

Do you have the Eco pack ? 

@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.
