New Laundry List

I continue to be flabbergasted that nobody on the EA TS4 team is acknowledging the bug where editing Sims in CAS with extra traits can lead to a game breaking bug

Hi @AalyahReed
This bug is open on AHQ, EA's official bug tracking site
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Wrong-names-and-CAS-Corruption-after-gaining-a-4th-trait/td-p/12395752

EA reads everything on AHQ and uses it as input for bug testing/fixing. The reports with hundreds of me-toos get more attention. This one has over 200 right now.

Moonlightsimmer posted a workaround on that thread: deleting the file "notify.glob" in the Sims 4 folder. Seems to force a cache clearing of some kind. You do have to keep deleting that file every time you edit a sim with extra traits in CAS.

@Jyotai posted a workaround, which results in the extra trait getting lost, but, it prevents the household and save from getting broken:

A work around to this bug:

If you go into CAS and notice the of the 4th trait, you can hit the 'reroll traits' button to get the sim set to 3 traits, then manually put in the 'proper three' that you want there. You will lose the 4th trait, but now the sim can be safely edited and saved.

Check every member of the household and reroll them before making any other edits.

If you edit ANYTHING else before rerolling, you will corrupt your file as per this bug, so exit out right away without saving.

PS for anyone who misses the photography relationship bug and has High School Years, being friends on social bunny (even if you don't interact on there much) will boost your green bar ridiculously far over several sim-days.

Nooo not the photography bug! I thought it was a feature this whole time!

Hi, just wondering is there anywhere we can post requests for the laundry list?

Now that we have vampire eyes available for both vampires and Spellcasters from infant age and also possible for vampires' human forms, I wondered if they could make the same happen with mermaid eyes?

It used to be possible to link mermaid eyes to human forms but ever since the linking was updated into a list of parts, the eyes seem to have been forgotten. As such I can no longer create any merfolk with mer-eyes in their human forms (?). This has been a huge disappointment.

I have reported it as a bug on Answers HQ but it doesn't seem to have got anywhere (although there are other simmers who have had the same issue). But now that I think about it it doesn't seem to be a bug so much as something that got forgotten about when the linking of occult forms was changed/updated. So I just wanted to let the team know.

I appreciate that there is a long list and am happy to wait but it would just be really nice to be able to create occult Sims with cool mermaid eyes on land again. Would also be nice to have them available for children too. To be honest, I'd rather have this (and would use it more) than most of the other updates we've had so far.

If anyone knows anywhere I can make a request, that would be great. ?

@mightysprite Yes, thank you for the link. I actually do have it bookmarked on my browser, so that I can check it periodically. I have clicked "Me Too" and the number is now at 234 players. I did see the notify.glob suggestion - while it appears to be a potential fix, I am concerned it might just be merely a band-aid, and that the save is corrupted anyway. I don't want to just trust that the issue might be fixed, unless I *know* it is fixed. I have also seen the re-roll traits first suggestion as well. Not going to comment more on it here, as I know they like to keep the technical stuff over on Answers HQ.

I hope someone from EA will comment on a thread with this many "Me Toos" and maybe ask for saves.

I will keep checking the thread for any updates. Thanks!

Really happy about milestones. Been delaying playing infants while waiting for that fix. Fortunately I'm still working on the wedding so no babies yet.

The only issue I've had (as far as I aware) is the family tree. I'm so glad that's being fixed.

I am always confused with these laundry lists. I don't think I have experienced any of these bugs except for the milestones one.

You are in a good situation. I always search for FIX, and I get to know how many bugs I haven't realized, thus stuck in choices to think whether these details have influenced me, or maybe I got used to them subconsciously. In a way, I'm pessimistic about fixing bugs. I've clicked on countless Metoos in answer HQ, some of them are reproduced after another patch, and some of them have more than 300 likes qualified as big bugs but no official has paid attention to them.

Oh hey! If they fix the milestones bug then I will actually get Growing Together :)

That'll be cool.

Alas, even without GT I still have the bug where born-in-game sims trigger infant moodlets in themselves and others regardless of how old they currently are... that must be the same issue as infant quirks remaining through other life stages. Glad to see that one on the list too.

I don't have Laundry Day, but I am happy for those who suffered with that bug for a long time, who maybe will see it fixed soon.
