I am just wondering if anyone has noticed NPC just standing idle doing nothing for hours? I placed a couple into the 30x20 lot next to Sand Simolean Beach and spent quite some time on the lot pottering around getting used to new things and all that time a female NPC was stood in the same spot. I sent my sims to another lot and when i sent them back home this NPC was still there and at this point i am not certain this sim is ever going to move lol She might go away if i close the game down and boot it up again but i don't want to do that right now but was wondering if any other players have experienced anything similar? this is the spot she appears to be rooted tohttps://i.imgur.com/qVRQ27S.jpg

My sim lives on the same lot and it hasn't happened to me.

Hey ;) The food stall is usually open in the morning up to late evening. Then it closes. It's not like in CL where they are opened 24/7 at least from my experience.Have you tried using the "resetsim" cheat?

I bet she met a Butler and understood the depth of his Zen mentality and decided to give it a go.

I’ve got this issue. Also had a lot of simulation lag on beach lots. Not our PCs as both exceed the recommended specs.

@Wintermist_SWE hahaha <3 as long as she keeps her paws of my incredibly new sexy sim-)@MidnightAura I ended up resetting the stuck Sim as @Sigzy suggested but I waited for a long time to see if the situation resolved itself first or if it was a bigger issue related to food stalls which i am just about to check all over the island in a new sims day. If you have this issue as well do you think it's the food stalls or something else or just a bug in general? Oh and something positive (well in my opinion-) I am using a no cc new bar build that has 2 bars on 2 floors and what do you know I have 2 mixologists working one on each bar i had to do a double take because I am sure that did not happen before but as it's been awhile since I played for any length of time it could have happened earlier and i would not have noticed :)

Hi Sigzy05

thanks for letting me know that I wonder have you noticed if that food stall near this lot has been open at all i did not look (which I will go do in a minute) I am wondering if it's the food server from there and I have some sort of bug affecting that, also do you know what hours these food stalls are open? I know from city living usually as one server leaves another one comes over but I am not sure if it's the same in this new Island world?

I think it’s just plain old simulation lag @SPARKY1922

I’ve got the same issue on that particular lot. No others.

Yes this happened to me. I had over 5 vendoors just hanging around my house. I ended up moving because I couldnt stand it any longer

I also started getting this on my residential lot, very frustrating.
On the fancy beach lot it’s made my game unplayable.

Very disappointing.
