Build/Buy Mode

I'm playing on a save that I've been using for months now. using a lot downloaded from the Gallery, when i edit a room or delete stairs, but most specifically edit a room, my gameplay controls freeze with the game still running. i cannot do anything with any of the tools, changing them doesn't fix it, alt tab does not function, saving, exiting and any other menu option does not respond, the game does not play when exiting to live mode and there is no crash log because the game is still running. the only solution out of this is to use control alt delete and force close the game by ending the task in task manager. I seriously need help here. I have reinstalled the game so far 3 times. no custom content at all. the lot is called Jade Mansion, for context.

  • so the issue is only present with infant and toddler sims. i don't have any playmats. it would appear that the mere existence of a toddler or infant causes these problems. when aged up to child, teen, young adult, adult and elder, the problems are gone. I actually don't have a proper nursery, just a standard bedroom with two toddler beds and a toy chest.

    Did you have any custom playmats ? There's an issue with Sims that gained milestones on items you remove from the game. Maybe that's the cause for the issue.

  • it would appear the two infants were the cause of this entire disaster, which makes sense a i added them close the the mansion's final form about 3 days ago. removing them from the family has caused all of the issues to disappears so far. I'm going to add back my custom content and resume construction. i will update further. please keep this post open for further comments.

    Does it work unfurnished with the family ? You can also try if the family works in another house to figure out if the issue is with the family or the lot.

  • in a separate world with none of my saves present, the lot, fully furnished and unfurnished appears to function without the strange bug i have reported with and without a random sim present. however, loading up my save with the lot in the exact same condition as before, causes the bug to appear. for context, my family does have to infants, could that be related? I know that infants cause a lot of problems

  • placing the lot unfurnished has solved the issue. i would have never reached that conclusion. how would you suggest i go about figuring out which object it might be? the lot is absolutely filled to the brim with items and clutter worth over 600,000 simoleons so it'd be a real pain in the patootie to undo all of that work. just so we are clear, this issue has occurred with Maxis brand default objects.

  • It's just happening with that particular lot ? There are some lots that are corrupt or have issues. Maybe there's some broken object somewhere.

    Do you see the same behavior if you place the house unfurnished ?

  • I have loaded loaded the lot in a new save with a different family, the same behavior every time, so i can reproduce this problem with a 100% success rate
