Re: Needs bar doesn't change color (Unmodded Games/Console)

I have this issue, too. it's extremely inconvenient, because the sims also don't autonomously try to fill their needs with this bug. It's made the game extremely difficult to play.

    I have the same issue after the latest game update for the growing together expansion pack. Never came across this bug until after I downloaded the new pack and the update that came with it. I though it was mod related too so took all that out. Even changed my main sims 4 folder name and stated a new sims 4 game to see if it will give me the same bug and it resolved the issue for a while and then an error occurred and same bug happened again. The needs bar not changing color to depict the actual portrayal of the sims needs. As mentioned in other treads here, moving to a different lot fixes the issue but after spending time at a different lot the same thing happens again until sim goes to another lot/ goes home. This makes playing the game very annoying and not fun.

  • I have the same problem but only with the one household I'm playing, it seemed to start once my sim had discovered the active trait. The problem is fixed momently if I go to CAS or travel. I don't have any mods.

    @crinrict ,

    I have the same problem with the needs too.

    But the problem occurs since update from 06/13/2023.

    I hadn't had the problem before.

    I play the Sims 4 on the console (Xbox One X) without mods/CC.

    The game The Sims 4 has become unplayable again due to the update from 06/13/2023.

    My sims have the same needs issue that didn't exist before the update. How to play the sims with this bug?

    My Sims character is a Young Adult (female character) and has an infant and this bug is making it very difficult to play.

    As soon as my Sims gets back from work, my Sim feels uncomfortable. Because the energy, hunger and hygiene are low.

    And as soon as the baby is back from day care, hunger, energy and hygiene are also in the red. And since the infant's mother has low energy, it is hardly possible to bathe and feed the infant and put it to bed.

    Because the mother becomes unconscious due to energy failure and drinking coffee is also not a solution because my Sims cannot sleep then.

    I'm playing the Sims 4 on the console (Xbox One S) and the console is up to date on updates.

    I play without mods/CC.

    @DarkShadow19787 Is yours showing green or orange when it should be red ? This thread is about the need bar being the wrong color.
