Drinking water disables Need-Decay cheat
My sims constantly drink water despite the Disable-Need-Decay cheat running. Their needs don't decay until they start drinking water, then suddenly it disables the cheat. It only happens in my curr...

@SheriGR In my save game also when doing the need-cheat on the individual member it breaks the cheat so to say. And indeed it is only the bladder-need that decays and the rest stays up...
I too had trouble with my sims drinking a lot of water, but I simply removed the fridge and that slowed it down to perhaps 1 or 2x drinking water per sim-day for the entire 3-sim household I have in that save game. I have also commented to the other thread.

@107531kop They don't need a fridge for water - just a sink. I did chat with someone who took out all the sinks to stop water drinking. In my test Kava and coffee also took it down with the cheat enabled. I assume bar-drinks would also, since I heard before that they bring the bladder bar down even with the 'bladder-of-steel' reward. So if the cheat is still getting disabled by drinking liquids for you even when applied to each sim individually, I guess you could expand your workaround to:
- Cheat the need full again
- Remove all sinks
- Remove all coffee/espresso machines/tea
- Remove all bars and globe bars
- Get the 'steel bladder' reward
- Check the content of your fridge to see if there are glasses of drinks there (though they should still be able to get milk or juice there - but in my experience they do far less of this autonomously than bar drinks, water & coffee)
Those things should discourage &/or reduce the frequency of drinking, since they only need food. If you remove the fridge, how are your sims eating?
- @SheriGR When I still had the fridge they constantly walked to the fridge for water and completely ignored the sinks, since I deleted the fridge they do go to the sink for water, but only every so often (once or twice per entire household per sim-day)… the Disable-Need-Decay cheat disables all needs: they never go to the toilet, need no food, go without sleep/fun/attention/shower... there aren't any bars, coffee/tea machines in the home... I've already played around with the steel bladder reward, but that doesn't work either... but since it is limited to only this particular save game I can live with it as long as I keep the fridge deleted (they never took anything but water from the damn thing, no matter which fridge)…
@107531kop It does sound like you have something acting buggy... Do you have Mods/CC (or have you ever had them)? Also, have you tried moving this family into your library and moving them into a new game save?
