Re: Randomize from gallery always gives same Sim

Hello,

Every time I go into CAS and click on the ‘randomize from the gallery’ feature, I keep on getting the same sim. 

Every. Damn. Time. It’s the same sim.

I’ve literally tried everything to fix this and contacted EA multiple times, but nothing works.

    Just click the randomize button under the Sim in CAS.

    I don't know why Randomize from gallery don't work for you. I just tested and it worked fine. Have you checked that you can open the Gallery?

  • @jpkarlsen

    The randomize sim button works fine, it’s the one from the gallery that’s bugging out.

    My actual gallery is working fine too, I can see other people’s content and I am able to post my own, etc.

    I really don’t know what the issue is.

    @FaShanable To be sure, you get the same Sim again if you press randomize again in CAS or do you just always get the same Sim when go into cas and randomize once ?
  • @crinrict

    It happens when I press it again.

    For example: I randomize from gallery and get this sim called Wilbur. I exit the game and then open it again, randomize sim from gallery, and I’ll get Wilbur again.

    @FaShanable But if you randomize again from the game without exiting, you get a different Sim ?

    Like: Randomize from the gallery, get Wilbur, then press the button again and get Frida ?

    The randomizer does tend to reset to a certain sim if you leave CAS and come back.

    @FaShanable Did you patch ? I just tried the button now and it seems not working at all for me now. It doesn't seem to actually pull Sims from the gallery. They are randomized but without name and traits which wasn't the case before.

    They also look so awful that I can't believe a Simmer made them.

  • @crinrict 

    Download the new patch? I did, yes. But this bug has been in my game for months, I think my game is just broken. LOL.

    Oh no, I’m sorry it’s happening to you. At least you get random sims, I’m just stuck with Wilbur. 💀

  • @crinrict 

    That’s mega weird. I really hope EA fixes this, I miss being able to see other people’s creations within one click. ☹️

    @FaShanable Interesting enough it's working for me now again.

    Have you tried renaming the user folder yet ?
  • @crinrict 

    I have, yes. Unfortunately that didn’t work either, and I now fear I will be stuck with Wilbur Wellwhisp forever.

    @FaShanable Maybe it'll start working again. It might be best if you create a new bug report in the bug forum for this. I'll then merge the rest of this thread into this.

    There's a template you need to fill out which is why I can't just move.
