Buffs won’t stay expanded

I want to read the buffs but they won’t stay expanded, keep snapping shut.  Is this by design?  Frustrating

    Hi @SimmySimian,

    Thanks for clarifying 🙂

    Usually, when you click to expand the list, it stays open for 30-40 seconds, unless you click somewhere else. For example, if you expand the list but then select an interaction for your Sim to do, pause the game, or click anywhere else, it will collapse again.

    Is it behaving differently for you? If so, how long does it stay open if you expand the list and you don't click somewhere else?

    Cheers,
    -Mai

    Hi @SimmySimian,

    Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly - is this what you mean? When you hover over an icon, the small panel with the description opens. Is the description panel not staying open when you try to read it, even if you don't move the mouse?:

    Thanks!

    Thanks for answering 🙂 No, not the description, but the actual buff. The first couple of buffs are open/visible by default. as buffs stack up (horizontally), the new ones are collapsed. I can expand the list of buffs, but they don’t stay open long enough for me to hover my mouse for info, and the list snaps back.

    It stays open for less than a second, not long enough for me to even move the mouse to another location

    For some reason, it seems to behaving correctly today. Weird. Thanks for your help, either way 🙂
