Fabrication Machine Stops
I am trying to fabricate any item at all, my sim gets about 45% done and then stops. I have the option to "scrap" "purchase dyes" or "resume" and when I hit resume, my sim just stares at the machine...
@mkslv707 Did you try fabricating on a different lot? Did you try moving the fabricator to the middle of a room with MOO off so there are no interference chances from anywhere? How high is the Sim's skill? I had mine make a candle first as I thought I read somewhere that doing this helps them raise some skill that is helpful on the fabricator. Do they stop because the machine shocked them or anything - are they dazed? Also, do you have, or did you recently have, any Mods or CC?
Please re-queue 2-3 times if needed to get them to continue... maybe hit pause and play - to see if you can get them to snap out of it and continue. I seem to have more of them dropping the queued item now, and had to re-queue it up 2-3 times before it took. Please see if that works in your case.
Can you send a screenshot of the area if it freezes up again?
Sorry for all of the questions. I'm just hoping something in them will give us a lead to what's happening in your game, as I could not reproduce the issue in mine. Thanks!
@PyroBatNL Since I didn't hear back from @mkslv707 I'm not completely sure what was going on or if their issue resolved (their post is over a year old), but did you check my response above to see if any of the suggestions are possible for troubleshooting your situation?
I looked under 'Bug Reports' and didn't find a report that seemed to match the issue you're having, so you could create a 'Bug Report' at this link: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs Others can then confirm if they're having the issue, and is in the proper area to bring a bug to the attention of EA.
