Re: [FIXED] Transfer button in Manage Household grey out (transferring not allowed)

Current bug: Transferring or moving one or more sims out to another lot not allowed. When using the phone or computer the area to click on the sim is grey and it says transferring not allowed. This bug occurred after the update on October 22, 2024. It has been weeks and so far I'm still having this issue. Does anyone know if EA is really aware of this and if it's being worked on? frustrating not to be able to play my game. I do not use mods. only cc. TIA

    @jennicapayce Yep, me too! You can move them into an already existing household though. A workaround, would be, to move them in with a random npc, and then use testingcheats and choose the remove from family on the npc, when you've moved them onto a lot. That's how I move my sims out currently.

    So, I still can't transfer a sim to an empty household? Are you serious? This is ridiculous! Do you people know what you're doing?

    Of course mods are all screwed again.. Thanks a whole bunch.

  • @jennicapayce It wouldn't have the "[Open]" tag if they were unaware of it. Also it has been ONE WEEK, not "weeks". Bugs take time to fix, just gotta be patient while they work on it.

    Idk about you but I'd rather a fix take a little bit of time but it sticks and causes no issues over a fix that's rushed out, doesn't fix it for everyone, and causes other issues.

    There is a patch today, so maybe, but doubtful it will be fixed with this one. Hoping this isn't one of those bugs that says [OPEN] on Answers HQ but never actually gets addressed. If I had a wish, I wish EA had someone to look at these reports and actually say "we are aware of this and it is being worked on".

    @luthienrising  @d8b252179831d57b  @jennicapayce   fyi:  Yesterdays update was a surprise to me too. However, the update was purely to load the new expansion pack in your game, the Life and Death one.  It also loaded a screen to allow you to purchase the Life and Death expansion.  It literally takes up the entire screen so you cannot miss it!   It was not an actually update that corrects problems.  You must purchase to be able to play it.

    @rujuta4me The updated yesterday was for a couple of Reaper Reward fixes related to mail delivery. This info was posted by SimsDirect, a Maxis account. The TDESC and XML file changes for the patch last week showed that it was the patch that prepared for the new pack. (I use the XML files in my modding.)

    If it is true that the update was to fix the reaper event, it didn't fix mine!   Still can't play the reaper event!!  Since the loading of the Life and Death expansion, I have a whole new set of problems and I did not buy the Life and Death pack!  I have absolutely no MOD's or CC, never have, never will!  I grew sick of the issues always being CC or Mod's - thus my fault!  I know this is not my doing - not at all.
