All the sudden my sim won't play the guitar.... don't know why.

Did he put it down somewhere he can't actually reach the front of it? The same thing happened to one of my sims with her violin - she put it down with the front facing a wall & wouldn't play it again until I moved it.

Nope. It's in his bedroom where it has always been. But I will try moving it around and see if that makes a difference.

Just seemed really odd... nothing above his head indicating anything like not being able to reach it, or anything. The action just stays in the que for like 2 seconds and drops out.

It could be the mood he is in that is preventing it.

Use resetsim cheat

testingcheats true
cas.fulleditmode

The shift+click on sim and choose reset (sim)

Sometimes when they put it down they will do so in a way that blocks its pathing . try puting it in their inventory .

Alright.. I just went in and moved it around and he was able to play it again.

Thanks for the suggestions!!

I still have that issue on a larger scale. I tried everything. Restarted the game, repaired the game, changed the instruments changed position, debug my sims. None of them would play. It won't even Que. Every time I try to practice and instrument it just resets the sim. The only instrument my sim can play is the piano where she has maximum level at. Other than that nothing would work. This is beyond strange. Pls can anyone help me :(((

Are your Sims in the last trimester of pregnancy? That's the only thing I can think of. Unless they are tense or something, but you should be able to use the instrument after the mood changes again. Or, do you also have something else queued up that is messing with multitasking, that would cause one thing to cancel so the other can be done?

@rosemow do you know of any bugs currently affecting this?

Hello
I am sorry that you are having these issues.
If you have cc/mods in your game, move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and see if the issues are still there.

Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or " options " file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder
