My Patchy isn't becoming Alive
I've been playing Sims 4 for over a week now, I have a friend who had been playing longer and he had been guiding me and giving me advice whenever we play together. He told me the abilities Patchy ha...

@PugLove888 You should consider yourself lucky that when lightning struck it destroyed Patchy, because in my game, a thunderstorm once happened and struck Patchy's stump while he was alive and running around the house! I could not replace the stump and the "lost" Patchy completely corrupted my save file. The only option left was to revert to an older save in order to fix it. There's a bug report on it somewhere, but since it's considered an "edge case" it's unlikely that this has ever been or will ever be fixed. Now, I always place Patchy's stump under cover in a shed or something.
@DMDragonCT, I wondered what would happen if Patchy was off his stump and it got struck. Guess I now know! 🤨 Thanks for the warning!
@DMDragonCT When you place Patchy's stump in a shed, how much space do you give him? Is it just enough to place the object or do you keep a clear area around it? I'm very curious to learn how much space he needs. I rarely use him other than for a Halloween decoration (my custom holiday version of it is actually called Tricksy Treat Day) or for testing. I prefer to have my Sim do all the gardening.
@PugLove888 The worst thing I've ever seen Patchy do was the time he was watching the Romance Channel on TV and appeared to be flirting with my Sim's girlfriend. I was like stay away from her, or I'll stuff a mattress with you! xDDD
@RandomBuzziness To be honest, it's pretty tight in there. I'm sure I even had to enable moveobjects when I placed it. But I've never had problems with Patchy not coming alive, getting stuck or throwing an LE due to routing issues.
@RandomBuzziness, LOL! 😃 No, I wouldn't' want Patchy to steal my Sim's significant other either! Bad Patchy! 😢 (And is that a Wizard of Oz reference you gave! 🤔❤️)
