Buggy stuff going on!

Trying out a pure vanilla game save to test a fix to the welcome wagon issue I reported earlier. What I've encountered so far:

Restaurants: the priorly reported swiping of a sim's meal by another patron
wait staff swiping and eating a meal they just delivered to a customer
wait staff placing dirty dishes on tables while sims are at said tables eating
wait staff and host not at their posts but lounging around at the tables and bar
wait staff and host not in assigned attire (I made the restaurant, so know what they should be in, and they weren't)
sims not sitting at their tables while waiting for meal to arrive, wandered all over the place and even went foraging for food

Forgotten Hollow: neither plasma fruit tree spawns, let alone grows. The one by the fishing hole is usually harvestable when the first batch of
garlic is, but it wasn't even there. The one behind Vlad's house should be at least there, but it wasn't

Festivals, events, community lots: attire is worse than I've seen in a long time, goes for regular pre-mades as well as townies. The only sim that
is appropriately dressed is the one I'm controlling. All the rest are varying degrees of mess

Fire: I've been struggling with this 'game' since its release, and have never, ever had a cooking fire - regardless of sim's cooking skill or lack
thereof. Had one, and sime was at level 3. Fortunately, since there are no firemen, the 'extinguish' option was available.

Food poisoning: first time ever a sim got food poisoning from a restaurant meal. Both the notification and the moodlet said to call the restaurant
to report it. The option was not present, either on the sim's phone or with restaurant staff (sim was still on premesis).

Another round of testing, and more messes.
Festivals: added to the townie attire mess are folks without bottom parts to 2 piece attire
attire changes rapidly and suddenly, and not the cosplayers shifting to normal
several sims showed up dressed as repair types, this includes celebrities and normal premades
my sime went to geek con, objective to buy a t-shirt. The booth never opened.

Fires: what formerly never happened is now a regular occurance if sim attempts to cook anything. Any sim, any stove. Have shifted simian
diets to salads and cereal

That new patch is getting very old very quickly. The ones who made it do know how to program, right?

On the bright side, the report I read on the forums somewhere about 'cas.fulleditmode' being broken seems either mistaken or it has been fixed. Have used it on two separate game starts with no problem.

Sims that visit won't leave.
Sims put grilled meals in inventory instead of on a table or counter.
Sims eat spoiled food autonomously.
Routing to put out fires is still an issue.

Forgot about the eating spoiled food. Same with my sims. Anyone hear whether EA will be responsible and deal with the mess as they did with the April patch, or are they just going to let us wallow in brokeness?

I've been having lots of Sims eating spoiled food as well.

@WillKDavid - this sounds a bit like the 'unwanted houseguests' bug that came with the IL-patch; ime it's not limited to Sulani. Is that what you're experiencing?

@Sucom @AprilDawn @Oldeseadogge @Rouenpucelle - the 'sims eat spoiled food' bug report is here; do please hit 'me too!'

Here's the 'sims put grilled food in inventory' bug-report, @AprilDawn .

I have no mods or cc in any of my saves. I don’t even use the move objects cheat, and haven’t purchased IL yet. Here’s all the bugs I’ve been experiencing at least since the patch and some before that:

- toddlers with sticky hands. Anything they pick up gets stuck in their hands and/or disappears and makes the furniture unusable. I’m constantly resetting them and having to move furniture around to make it work again because a toy/plate/disappeared into it
- Patents uncontrollably putting toddlers in the high chair and them taking them out again forever back and forth
- Waiters and NPCs stealing my sims food as soon as it’s placed down when they dine out
- it takes hours for their food to even arrive after they’ve ordered. Eating out becomes a 24+ hour ordeal
- invited guests getting stuck after the event ends with no option to ask them to leave
- Lights getting stuck on even after I’ve clicked to turn them off, OR lights turning super dim in build mode when I add a table or something so I can no longer see the colors in the room correctly
- My sims are CONSTANTLY sick...like 2 - 3 times a day! So I keep having to buy them medicine, they take it then like 4 hours later they come down with something else. This is really messing with my “rags to riches” type families
- apartment issues: noisy neighbors all day every day and annoying neighbors that are at my door every 5 minutes. Also, when you agree to hang out with a neighbor and they just never leave but the game thinks they left so you can’t kick them out
- Seasons issue: sims are suddenly reacting to “first snow” every time I enter the house hold during winter and every time it starts snowing even though there can only be one first snow per season, they react to it every day and it messes up the queued actions

I’m positive that there’s more, but this is all I can think of right now. Hope my vanilla game issues help you determine what might be a mod issue and what’s not :)

@amp107 - Look here (main page for TS4 bugs) and here under 'Popular Now'; a lot of these bugs have already been reported and it'd help if you hit the 'me-too' button!

I'm not fond of the set-up of that forum, but Cupid and some other simmers here encouraged me to give it another chance, and it's not bad once you accustom yourself to it. There is a satisfaction in hitting 'me-too,' and in posting what the bug is doing in your game. The more people there are who officially (by 'me-too-ing') report they're affected by a bug, the more likely that bug will get prioritized for a fix.

Have done my 'me too's. The EA folks need to wake up and realize the June patch wrecked a lot of game code, get off their cans, and undo the havoc they made. There is more for them to do than push out more DLC.
