The rain is pouring in my game, and has been for a majority of the past few Sims days. However, I can't spot any leaky roof in the place. So, why are my Sims walking around INSIDE the house with umbrellas?Are anyone else's Sims doing this? It's driving me bonkers!

@GalacticGal my sims have done that occasionally but a simple shift-click on the sim & choosing "reset object" fixes it. And yeah, it is annoying; as is the times when you cancel an action, it's cancelled & other actions take place but the icon with the "x" through it never goes away. Have to do the shift-click, reset then too.

Does the room have a ceiling? I've noticed sims act weird if ceilings are missing.

I have experience this with two lots.The first did not like that I was using that glass dance floor as a skylight.It stopped when I removed the skylights.The second is odd because I am using a glass roof in the greenhouse area, but sims are not using umbrellas in that area. They just keep them up when they are coming in from the rain. Like they aren't getting the signal to put the umbrellas away.

This has happened to me before. Easiest solution I found is to buy an umbrella stand and have them put the umbrella away.

No, but I wish they were---I would find that hilarious

I do believe they did used to use the default umbrella. I'm just tired of the rain in HoB. It's been almost constant. And the thunderstorms that go with it. Oi! I know I could switch things off, but what is the point of having seasons, if I'm just going to make it stop?

I know exactly what you mean. Apart from sims being scare all the time, I don't really mind it too much. I cheated and gave all my sims the Storm Chaser reward trait because I got tired of them constantly being scare.

I've had sims walk in with umbrellas but I think they're just slow putting them away.

I've seen it. It's a bug. Also, at times the umbrella will dissappear after entering a building, yet their arm will still be stuck in the 'holding an umbrella' position. I've seen sims do this with drinking glasses as well.

I keep getting a very weird image due to this glitch. They try to pick up the infant with the hand that holds the umbrella, there's no umbrella shown, but the poor baby is all but turned on its head! Very weird.

Yes, I have that, too. :open_mouth:
