Re: [FIXED] Unbreakable objects break and can't be repaired

My sims are now able to repair all items (electronics included).  The latest patch fixed almost everything I was experiencing.  I have noticed that a lot of electronics are breaking all at once...and some break after a reload.  This lot does not have the gremlin attribute.  But I don't have to replace items anymore when they break.

    I dont have Season's either...I am finding upgrading is keeping things from breaking as much..still testing..but I am able to complete repairs.  As you can see, he has just completed one upgrade and is working on the 2nd stereo upgrade

    I was able to replace the items when I was unable to repair them..you can use the "motherlode" command if you need cash for the replacements

    you dont need to sell at all, you click on item and replace it if its broken..has to be placed in the house though..not in your inventory

    I will try that, hopefully it helps, but i am pretty sure it is a bug with seasons :P
  • I was able to get around that altogether by shift+left click and "Reset Object." Not a permanent fix but saves having to replace the item.

    I have similar issues. I ended up selling my speaker because no one could fix it, and now my hot tub is stuck in a similar situation. When my sim tries to fix it there's no progress bar around the action, and it never ends. I tried to find the "reset object" option but it just isn't there, not when following those instructions at least. I have tons of money and can afford to replace stuff, but this is still super annoying.

    To turn on TestingCheats, type the following code:

    To turn them off, type the following code:

    testingcheats off
