Solved
Love this game, but oh, the bugs!
I have been playing Sims 4 in all my spare time for some weeks now. I can't believe how much I love it and am into it. I have tried all sorts of different things. I can't imagine running out of thing...

I agree. I don't mind doing some of their work for them, but it seems to me as if these troubleshooting and fix methods are part of regular gameplay. They should not be.
As to my sim not sleeping. I did a repair and went back in, and it worked. There was no stereo or anything like that. It was a sudden glitch out of nowhere. So, I had to stop playing and repair, which again, should not be an acceptable part of normal play, IMHO.
Another new thing cropped up, and again, since there are so many of these issues, I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if it is yet another bug. I bought a water balloon bucket to try out the water balloon fights. I filled it, but now I cannot interact with the filled bucket in any way. It irks me that I am now left to wonder so often if I am doing something incorrectly or if it is yet another time for very regular repair because of very regular bugs and glitches.
@Kanelbullet, yes, there are more bugs than there should be. However, it is impossible to catch all of the bugs... some require a very specific set of circumstances that arent' easy to reproduce. Also, there are many playing styles in a game like The Sims that you don't have in other games. So, the game might be tested in a few of these styles, but some of the less popular playing styles will probably not be tested.
@Seleos13, I'm glad your sleeping glitch stopped! 🙌 I might be wrong , but I see bugs as something that happen to many players, and in more than one Save Game, or even household, and that usually don't go away on their own. The rest I see as glitches. Much rarer, usually only in one household or Sim, and might go away on its own. I think I've heard people say that those cases are more like a corrupted save. But that wouldn't be EA's fault.
A more obvious bug would be the one in Realm of Magic where your game crashed when trying to exit CAS when the Spellcaster animation was occuring! ☹️ I'm so happy they fixed that! 🙂
For me, I really wish the whims would fullfill like they should. And toddlers would finish theri meals, and like @Psychotps I really hope they fix actions from dropping out of Sims's queues! That one drives me nuts! 😢
I'm also glad your water balloons not working wasnt' a bug! 🥳 I've had similar times when I wasnt' fullfilling the requirements for a certain action and I thought it was a bug. The most recent time was with one of the spells... I simply misunderstood how to use it and I was sure it was a bug, but I saw a video from Carl's Sims 4 Guide where Carl was able to do the spell, so I knew it was my fault and not the game's fault! Sometimes we all have to stop jumping to conclusions and ask some questions, which is what this section of Answers HQ is so great for! That way, we can often find out it isn't a bug , or if it is we can then post in the Bug Reports section! 😇
- @PugLove888 Did find a bug a while ago. Never bothered to report it 'cause its minor.
One thing that irks me is beehive actions. You can't queue one up if you are already doing another. Like, if you see the action to "Apply Mite Treatment", I'll always click that and then queue up another action "Bond with Bees". Once the treatment gets done, the "Bond" action will ALWAYS drop out and I have to do it again.@Psychotps, yes I hate that too! 😞 And it is the same for all beebox actions! None will stay in the queue! ☹️
@PugLove888, thank you for your continued input. I do appreciate it. 🙂
Yet, here I am repairing again (instead of playing). I am trying out the freelancer digital artist career, and I have experienced something with that one that I did not experience in the other two. Namely, I chat with my client, and yet it doesn't satisfy for the job. It still shows 0/1. I have done it multiple times at different times of day, even left the house, came back, but nothing works. Frustrating.And repair worked. I'm glad it did, but it continues to frustrate me how often I have to stop and repair. Anyway, game on!
