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 put a bug report for that here https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/PS4-Unable-to-Replace-Patchy/m-p/7872600#M89851 even if it happens rarely you can put a me too and a comment that you have seen it or had it happen to you. I also place patchy under an awning or in a greenhouse now since that happened.
@Player_goq0p7lw Hopefully I tagged the right person. I also hired a gardner when my patchy stopped coming alive but the gardner didn't appear. Possibly related? I'll have to test. Maybe not, I may have had the door locked.
Edit: I have moved my family to other houses, sold patchy, stored him in storage, befriended him with everyone in the household, reinstalled my game (for other reasons) also done all the general troubleshooting for PS4. He still just hangs out on his stump almost always. Please add to the bug report if you see this in your game as well.
