Thought Bubble HELP!
My sim is consistently gasping with a thought bubble depicted as a person blowing into a balloon....What does this mean and what can I do?
Forum Discussion
Yep, here's a pic of it!
@thelyingcandor I'll ask around. Are the toddlers still doing it?
Indeed they are, haha
@thelyingcandor Update: A good friend of mine tells me that they see that water symbol without the red circle-line through it in their game when their adult Sim showers with fresh water on an off-the-grid lot. Maybe the opposite symbol indicates that there is some reason your toddlers do not want to take a bath on your lot. Are you using a shower/tub combo or a regular bath tub? I've read somewhere that the shower/tub combos might be bugged where they can appear to be clean but Sims act like they are dirty. If you are using a shower/tub combo maybe you can do a quick test by replacing it with a regular tub, just to see if those thought bubbles go away.
Also, just out of curiosity, is your lot off-the-grid?
I actually am using those, they're pretty much all I use for the baths on any lot I bring them to. (And yeah, mine are always clean, so I guess it's just the bug) I'll try to use just a plain bath and see if that makes the thought bubbles go away. 🙂
(Also I don't think it's off the grid, the bubbles started when they were at a vacation cabin in Granite Falls and they continued when they went back to their house in Willow Creek)
Update: tried replacing all the shower/bath combos with regular showers and baths, and the toddlers are still giving that thought bubble.
@thelyingcandor Just as a test can you try relocating the family to a different house to see if that clears the issue? If it works you can move them back again and if it does not work you can just exit/ go back to the main menu without saving. If the toddlers are temporarily glitched then maybe this will fix it.
A slightly more extreme test would be to save the entire household to your Library, start a New Game, import the family from your Library, and play them a bit in this new game to see if that will clear the issue. You can just exit without saving either way. If everything looks good in a new save then maybe there is something going on in your old save.
Lastly, are you using any mods or CC? If so then you might want to temporarily remove them to a storage folder somewhere like on your Desktop or an external drive, delete the localthumbcache.package file from your Sims 4 folder, and then load your game to see if the problem goes away. Do not save your game while your mods and CC are removed, this is just for testing. If the problem goes away then maybe you have some outdated mods or CC that need to be updated and replaced.
Good luck, I hope we can figure this thing out :D
Yeah, I've tried putting the toddlers on other lots, visiting and such, and they still seem to be doing it. It's weird because I did notice that in another saved world I have, the toddlers never have that thought bubble. Their house is even in Willow Creek, same as the family with the toddlers in my other world who are giving the thought bubble. I don't know if it's just those kiddos that are glitched for some reason? I'm so confused haha. Thanks for all the help so far though! :D
Edit: I do have a lot of CC and some mods, but if that's the issue then it's weird that it would only be affecting certain toddlers right?
