Better Exceptions detects 'Exception in Sim Timeline'

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.103.315.1020-1.300.000.175.Release
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Cool Kitchen Stuff, Luxury Party Stuff, Moschino Stuff, Spooky Stuff, and Star Wars. (a few kits I don't have)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I play for a few seconds and the exception occurs. Does not matter which household I play, it will occur within a few moments of playing.
What happens when the bug occurs? Better Exceptions gives me a report that says: Possible cause 10%: holiday_service Exception in Sim Timeline: Exception running Element (AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'time_off_work')
What do you expect to see? I've seen other people have this issue, but they play with custom holidays and holiday mods, which I do not do at all. All the holidays in my game are what packs gave me, so I'm not sure why I have this exception.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

  • @CosmicRemi You need to upload the exception somewhere. No one has access to your computer

    Also please remove all your mods (including BE) and upload the file the game creates and not a BE report.

    To upload you need to create a rar file.

    @CosmicRemi Did you create a holiday by normal game means ? Do you just get the exception or does anything actually happen in the game ?
  • Hey sorry for the late response. No I never created any holiday in the game and nothing really happens in the game that I can see to be honest? Maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing, it's just that both MCCC and BE detect this issue in my game and I'm worried that it will have a negative effect on my gameplay. 

  • It happens regardless if there's a holiday or not. Nothing really seems to trigger it, it will happen a few seconds after playing live mode.

    @CosmicRemi Bit unsure what to make of this or if there's a workaround to get rid of the message. Have you tried asking in the MC Command Center discord if they have any ideas how to get rid of the LE on an unmodded game ?
  • This is recently happens to me. After the latest update few days ago, I think this 'holiday_service' error or 'Exception in Sim Timeline: Exception running Element (AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'time_off_work')' is the reason why my substitute teacher (teaching career) sim continually not going to work on the workday.
