Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
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? 1.8.3.24.1230 (most recent)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All DLC except for battu and luxury party (the only kit I have installed is bust the dust)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? If you play in my save file, open the game play in the lot and try to perform any action
What happens when the bug occurs? All the Sims within the game gets stuck performing the action, or don’t at all They just remain in the same position swinging their arms/ smiling so there is some animations. Game time continues as normal and resetting the Sims and restarting the game does not work Can sims lots be cursed and ruin gameplay? I have a bit of a odd one for you! Earlier today while playing the game, the Sims themselves seemed to break, where I could queue up and do actions but they would get stuck doing it or just before doing it, and remain standing, swinging their arms even after many sims hours. So naturally I tried resetting the sims and the lot but on pressing play the issue persisted. I tried resetting the Sims using the shift click cheat, using mcc command centre and typing it into the text bar, but after all of these when prompted to perform another action the same issue occurred. So I saved and exited the game, then repaired it via origin and checked my last exceptions before removing any old cc, but this DIDNT WORK! My next step was to remove all CC from my game, which also didn’t work and the sims still refused to do anything. I thought the save had corrupted so I went over to another save file which I have been playing for over a year (also a large house & household with cc) and everything ran so smoothly! No issues in that save file, therefore just confined to that lot. Next I tried saving the sims and the house to the gallery and starting a new save, placing them into the new world, however once pressing play in the new save the same issue happened. Getting quite stressed at this point, I removed the Sims from the house and placed them in another lot where their animations worked perfectly like in my other non related save file. Confused I put the mayor from Henford and her son into the house, where they had the same problems, started to do actions before getting stuck and just sitting or standing there Therefore conclusively proving the issue lay not with the sims or the save file but with the house itself, as household worked while not in the house. Other save files are not affected. And an EA household when in the house had the same issues even when in a brand new save file. since I have deleted local thumb cache, checked I have drive storage space and done just about everything I can think of! Very confused I didn’t realise a haunted house residential lot would actually haunt my game! I have pretty much all the DLC apart from and few stuff packs and quite a lot of cc (7GB/ 4000 items) however I don’t think this is an issue as my other save files were fine and removing cc didn’t fix it. Only other thing I can think of is that at the time it occurred the lot was a haunted house residential with all the lot challenges ?! I have since removed all of these so it is a basic residential with no traits and the problem is still occurring!! i’m terrified it’s the toilet glitch come again as it started while my Sim was on the toilet!
What do you expect to see? Expect to see the Sims perform normal actions like they have done thousands of times within the game
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. It happened around the time I installed the latest patch that came with the Brazilian food and the carnival mask
The cursed house is now just a plain residential lot with no cc arghhh
Can sims lots be cursed and ruin gameplay?
