Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
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? upto date
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? go outside in the rain, try to do anything. interrupts conversations. also sims will have an umbrella even if you have put umbrellas away in umbrella stand. also sims use umbrellas with waterproof trait which is stupid.
What happens when the bug occurs? endless opening and closing of umbrella, overrides all other actions.
What do you expect to see? umbrellas should stay put away if a sim has put it away. autonomous umbrella use should be a toggle on off option.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
let us decide when we want to use umbrellas. keep umbrellas put away if a sim has put them away.
@claireluttmer I merged this with the thread on opening/closing and interrupting conversations. There's other dedicated threads for umbrellas too (check the compiled list and use search to find)
As for the Sims having umbrellas, is that or NPCs or active Sims (aka playing rotationally and then they have one when you switch away from them) ? I can't duplicate this on my active Sim.
For the toggle it's best if you create a thread in the feedback forum: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Feedback-Ideas/bd-p/the-sims-4-game-suggestions-en
I have this in my game too. When it's raining, it is hard to do things. I recorded it, but can't attach it here.
