Visitors Leave Community Lots Immediately

Can someone help me understand if this is a bug or an issue on my end? I'm not using any mods, and I've repaired my game files several times.

Visitors who spawn on community lots leave almost immediately. Some just stand on the side of the road, scrolling through their phones, before leaving after a short time. Others enter the community lot, walk into a room, and then leave quickly.

Some of them have thought bubbles indicating they need to sleep, while others just have a hand symbol showing they're leaving. They even order drinks but leave before the bartender finishes preparing them.

I can't understand why they're either spawning with low needs or leaving so quickly. They leave so often that, after a while, the same Sims start cycling through the lot repeatedly.

I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but I feel like this only started happening after I purchased Get Famous and installed it. However, it happens in every world.

    Just tried deleting the whole TS4 folder, but the issue persists. All the Sims leave shortly after arriving, with a pillow in their thought bubble, indicating they're low on energy LOL...

    Yeah, this is quite a strange issue. If you removed the mods, repaired the game, and even started a new save file, I couldn't see the mod having any affect. I don't think this would help, but have you tried deleting the whole TS4 folder in documents so it creates a new one? I don't know what else to suggest lol.

    I tried and the issue remains. So there goes my Get Famous theory. 😄

    Now that I'm looking more into it: a while ago I've used this mod and the description makes it look a bit alarming, especially the part warning you to repair your game. Do you think this could've caused it and I'm only noticing it now?

    However, I'm not understanding how it could leave this affect on my game even after deleting the mod, cache files and repairing the game...

    Yes. I thought maybe something was wrong with my save but the same thing happened on a brand new save.

    I just tried again, this time without mods. I'm still not experiencing this issue. Perhaps maybe temporarily disable Get Famous to see if works with Get Famous disabled.

    Putting the following command in the advanced launch options for TS4 will disable the Get Famous expansion.

    -disablepacks:EP06

    Have you tested this in a new save game, and is the same thing happening?

    As I mentioned in the introduction of my post; I'm not using any mods, and I've repaired my game files several times. I did use Mods in the past but I cleaned my cache files after removing them. Do you think it's possible it caused an issue with the game files?

    Literally any type of community lot in any world. It's like Sims only visit the lot just to leave after a short while. I can't understand what could cause the Sims to behave like this. 😕

  • If you use mods, try removing all of them and test to see if the issue remains. Also try repairing the game and see if that helps.

    I just checked, and I don't seem to have this issue. Which specific lots were having this issue at?
