This bug is back folks!!! Cats getting upset over a dirty litterbox that IS NOT dirty!

Ok, so, my sims cat's icon gets orange, obviously something is not ok with him, so when asked "What's wrong?", the kitty complains about his llitterbox being dirty, although all his litterbox(es) are clean! Even after using the litterbox and getting it clean, the cat still perceives it as dirty. The cat also looks sad, I assume that is due to this issue, but he's perfectly fine and has nothing to be sad for! I have tried replacing the litterboxes with new ones, but still doesn't work!

This is so infuriating! This is an old bug that has resurfaced!

Am I the only one?

    @natig159ml I merged your post. I'm unsure if everything in here is the same cause for cats not being able to use the litterbox or if we have multiple but yours sounds the same as post #64

    It happened to me too as I was playing yesterday. Cat's icon was orange and I figured it was the litterbox thing. I went to build mode and clicked both of the self-cleaning litterboxes then I went back to live mode and cat was able to use them. I wonder why sometimes it is that easy to fix and other times it's harder.
