Meditative walk not working?

Hey all, just came here to check if anyone else has a problem performing "meditative walk" in Mt. Komorebi? 

My Sim moved there, and I tried to perform it now multiple times, but the action disappears right when she comes to any of the starts of the path. I tried it on multiple boards, but the result is the same. I don't remember having this problem before. Have not tried with other Sims yet. Just wondering if there is something I am doing wrong, or if it is a bug (that I will report if it is, after some feedback, and if it does not exist yet).

    You are not alone.  It hasn't always been that way but it certainly appears to be happening recently.  I think it started with one of the patches but I'm not exactly sure when it did start happening in my game.

    I mostly go to Mt K on daytrips.  I haven't done a multi-day vacation or played a household living there.   I used to be able to queue the same option after a sim got back to the sign but that is no longer the case.  What I am seeing is that all the hiking options do what you describe after you do an option the first time.  For me it's not just the Meditative Walk, it's all of them.  You can't repeat any of them on a single trip to Mt. K. The action shows in the queue initially but as soon as the sim reaches the sign, the action disappears.  

    But if you travel out to another world and come back later, you can do them again but only once each time you travel in. I'm not sure if that will work between zones in Mt. K as I haven't tried it, but it should.  

    Hope this helps.

    @CGrant56 Thanks for this! I will try what you suggest. Some time after this post I noticed that some other hiking options do the same thing, even though before the post I could do them (probably what happened is what you described).
    Do you know if it has been reported as a bug? If not I can make a bug report 😊

    You're welcome!  I haven't seen a bug report for this particular issue before nor did I find one when I searched for it just now, so if you want to make one, please do. There are other posts involving hiking but none that I looked at are about this specific issue.   I will me too your bug report as well once you make it.

    @CGrant56 just a quick question - is meditative walk suppose to differ from other hiking routes/choices? When I choose meditative walk and it works, the icon is the same shoe like for hiking and the action is also "hike". The route is basically around, the place. Also even if it is supposed to be a meditative walk, my Sim had an emotion of "terrible hike" 😅🤣

    I see no difference really for any of the hiking options.  Some do a full circuit of the place and end up back at the sign you started at and some are sort of one way and you end up a certain scenic spot and have to use the sign there to hike back to the starting point.  Otherwise, they just walk around.  If you run into trouble with the bugs and have no bug repellant, then I think that is usually what causes the terrible hike buff for some hikes for most sims.  Whether a sim has an injury may impact it too.  Sims with the lazy trait and maybe one other one or if they are already fatigued before starting the hike will get it sometimes without running into the bugs.  I have noticed that if a lot of the sim's skills like fitness, skiing, snowboarding and rock climbing are high, that you are less likely to get the negative buffs too.  

    Hope this helps.

    @CGrant56 Interesting. I experienced the tense emotion from meditative walk multiple times, even though their fitness level is quite high, and my others sim's wellness is also on the higher side, plus I always send them on nice weather and fulfilled needs. Most of the time there are no bug attacks when I get the tense emotion from the hike. Seems very random how it appears then 🧐 thanks for the answer 😊 will make a bug report during the next day until I test some more 😊
