Family Play is Broken

Is anybody else having any these or other problems like it:

Can’t decorate the tree with any family members
Can’t light the tree with family members
Can’t open presents with family members
Can’t play cards/don’t wake the llama family member’s
Can’t sing together on Holidays with family members

I can do all of the above with strangers/friends not living in my household so why isn’t my sim able to select her family members?

  • I've noticed people missing on my lists for travelling and clubs as well. Sims I know my sim knows well (because it's a parent or a cousin they've lived with for awhile) and I can't select them sometimes for whatever reason for actions. In my social tab they are nearly 100% but without club restrictions I can't invite them? However all the NPC's my sim barely knows shows up...

    Yeah, now that you've mentioned it, it is always family members missing. It's not all of them missing, but for sure some are.
  • I’ve noticed this too.. I had a Sim plan a wedding event, and it didn’t list his parents or sister as guests that could be invited. It was especially strange because he was still living with them all. :|
  • I've had the 'noone showing up for an event, be it a dinner/party/wedding invitations. Like always. The club events also doesn't show up with full members, that is new though. From last patch I think. But as long as at least 4-5 show up, I'm a happy camper, at least when it's not the family meeting clubs (where I sweep up all the family + those not living in household and have a reunion style club meeting).

    Haven't tried the xmas tree thing because it's not Winterfest yet and...wait. Christmas trees catching on FIRE?!?! Yeah, no. Never had the fire thing.

    But I have noticed that my Sims no long stick to teaching toddlers on the potty or on the play brick things. Even though the toddler asks for lessons. They stick around for a few Sim secs then go wandering off while the toddler is still on the potty/playing.
  • I also noticed the potty training oddity, but thought perhaps it was by design. Seriously, those kids sit on that potty forever!
  • I've come across most of these issues too. The most annoying one (apart from teaching toddlers) is, in my opinion, that sims you sim know don't show up when creating a club and adding members. I have a sims that is working on the Friend of the World aspirations, he has 20 friends (full green bar) but for most of them he has to go around finding them asking them to join the club, I can't just select them because they don't show up. And no, I don't have any club rules active.

    Same for family members, I can't add them myself so I have to have one sim in the household go around inviting the others into the club or have them check in the club panel and apply to then get in.

    Interesting. I tried creating a club with just family members and no matter what time of day it was, I was not able to add family members to the club. I had to invite them over and in person, ask them to join.
  • I did many of these things yesterday, so I don’t think they’re universally broken.
