By Design - No Grace period
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? Unknown, just updated the game 12/8/23
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, all game packs, most stuff packs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start a game renting at either Rental Property that comes with For Rent with a 7 Day Lease period. No Grace period notification. Instead of showing the Grace Period after the lease period, it automatically renews the lease for another 7 days.
What happens when the bug occurs? There is no Grace period option, and the tenant will incur a $500 fine to break the lease if they try to move the day before the lease ends or the day the lease automatically renews (showing 7 days left).
What do you expect to see? I expect after the 7 day lease period to see a Grace period option like what is displayed in the Help Center images where my Sim can choose to move without violating the tenant agreement.
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
CM Edit: Title
Hey all,
We've completed our investigation into this issue and found that Grace Period is working how it was designed to.
By default you'll have 7 days as the Lease Length, after 7 Sim days complete Lease Length will renew automatically and the remaining lease will show 7 days.
After 1 Sim day passes in the Renewed Lease Length after 9 AM you will get the grace period. The notification might be delayed but you can see this via Show Tenant Agreement as well.
