Computer glasses super-buggy: Filed this exact text as bug report. Any ideas here how to help?

This is what happened:

I put on my newly made glasses.



Then I took them off in that highly illogical menu that also lists the robotic arm for no logical reason whatsoever.



Poof, the glasses were now GONE. NOT in my inventory, NOT on my Sim.

I didn't feel like grinding another whole day Sim time just to make a new pair so I used the debug menu and put a pair on a table.



My sim equipped that pair.



Now I cannot take them off. I DO have the option to take them off, but that option lists THREE things: Two pair of glasses (apparently my Sim is also now wearing the pair that disappeared, at the same time! plus the arm, again for no logical reason. Someone fix that!). BUT nothing is clickable and the only option that works is to just close the list.



So I cannot take the glasses off. Ever.

  • Update:
    From reading other bug reports regarding the glasses there are a few issues that stands out:

    1. It seems that it was planned to make the glasses permanent, since the only "fix" the patch allowed for was that they could be removed if you were no longer in your Home-neighborhood. NO fix for actually remove them like the robot arm, at will?

    2. The glasses are very annoying; they look cool but the Sim uses the options CONSTANTLY, and the wrong one, at that (keeps browsing art instead of Simpedia so she gets Inspired instead of Focused constantly). So quite frankly it just another "gimmick item" that is worthless in actual gameplay. Sadly.

    3. There seem to be a mix between two UI choices: There is no other way to explain why the devs have decided to list ALL cybernetics under the "Remove glasses" option. My guess is that it was supposedly a "Cybernetics" option and then it got renamed to "remove glasses" without changing the actual code. This is also probably why so many people can't remove the glasses unless they have the arm equipped. Which, it looks like, still isn't fixed.
