(BUG) Root cause interaction not completing - new career issue

Hi everyone, 

i am having an issue with the new pack and a new career gameplay. Whenever i try to tell the client their root cause, the interaction takes a very long time to complete. The client keeps doing everything else but talking with my sim. The interaction often gets cancelled automatically, and i have to do it again and again. Meanwihile the workday time is still running, which makes it hard to finish all the tasks on time. 

 

This happed with all five clients i have had so far in this career. Its really frustrating and makes the career not enjoyable. 

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any tips or fixes?

Thank you!!

    This does happen all through the client interactions, you have to chase them all over the place. The thing with the interactions cancelling is an old bug since life and death base update. If you watch carefully you will see sometimes like a reset happened. All queued interactions disappear you could try pausing the game as soon as the last interaction has completed then move on to the next thing you have to ask. It at least stops them walking away. The client throwing up in the loo is a bit of a nuisance too, it distracts your sim and the client .

    Sorry, I missed your answer. Please always tag me when answering. This forum is hard to track for answers.

    What I meant is, that if it's only that particular interaction (root cause) that causes your client to run off, none of the others you use during the career.

    Like when you try to diagnose them, does this happen without the client running off ?

    During the career, the client often runs off elsewhere, and the interaction (root cause) is automatically cancelled. You asked if this is the only issue I’m experiencing — maybe I misunderstood your question, sorry about that.

    During the career ? I meant during the career the clients run of. The queue dropping during normal gameplay is a different issue.

    Thank you! I have only cc stuff but I did not pud the folder back since the update when new pack was released. I tried to delete the local thing, but the issues are still there.

    Hicrinrict​ . Yeah, I noticed today that it’s happening with other interactions too — like when a Sim is cooking, they used to automatically eat afterwards, and now they don’t. Also, when I queue an action, I often have to click it multiple times because they just don’t follow through the first time.

  • HI adaska17​ 

    def seeing similar things. They always run off to do other stuff and you have to go places to be able to ask them. Do you only have the issue with the root cause ? I don't remember having issues with interactions actually dropping, just that I had to find them all over the lot all the time.

  • If you use mods/cc,try moving the whole mods folder to another place, delete the localthumbcache.package and then test to see if the issue remains without mods/cc there.
