Needs won’t change colors

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Español
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.90.358.1030

Cool kitchen, Kids Room, Laundry Day, Toddlers, Movie Hangout, Nifty Knitting, Tiny Living. Little Campers, Bust The Dust.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? You can find the bug by playing for a while.

    Hi @spaceypilots 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    I've noticed something similar, too; a Sim's need stayed yellow even when full. It corrected when I quit and restarted the game.

    I am having the same issue as well. My sim died of starvation because the hunger bar stayed green the whole time and I didn't pay attention.

    @izzylee388 Would you mind sending me your save game (preferably when you see the issue happening)

    Instructions in my signature.

    It still happens in a modless save. I guess it’s a bug from the game but I hope it’s not just because it broke my saves and a general bug that can get corrected
