Non-deterministic behavior from the Left Of Center Hot Tub

@SimGuruM0dSquad, it's sort of unclear where we're supposed to post if we have found a bug with a game object so I'm posting about it here in the hopes that someone from the EA team will see my post.

The Left of Center Hot Tub is displaying non-deterministic behavior. In my own game it has, at some times, little metal parts on the top. Other times it does not have those metal parts. I've discussed this problem with other players and some people see these metal parts while others do not. I've seen pictures of this hot tub in other people's game and in some of those pictures the tub has metal parts and in other pictures it doesn't. I have every expansion and pack released for Sims 4 installed. This screenshot is taken in my fully patched game with an empty mods folder:

Earlier today, with my mods folder full that tub had its metal parts. Right now it happens to not have them. It would be really great if the Hot Tub always had the metal parts it is supposed to have. :)
  • Hey @_orangemittens_ ,

    I can reproduce this consistently by placing the hot tub, and when first placed and dragging the metal parts will not appear. Once placed they will appear. And sometimes it just will never appear. Weird, think it's probably a timing issue - we'll take a look.

    Thanks

  • The panel should be fixed in today's update (1.11.64), the panels only appear once the hot tub is upgraded.

    I've noticed this as well and @SimGuruModSquad has just seen my post about it. The metal parts are the stereo and aromatherapy upgrades and so SHOULDN'T be visible when the object is first placed, but only once the upgrade has been added.
    In my case of this bug, the upgrades don't display when the hand tool holds it before placing and they appear when I let go.
    If I get a Handy Sim to add one of the upgrades then the other vanishes but will reappear if the Handy Sim then adds the relevant upgrade.

    BOTH tubs do it in my game.
  • For me sometimes they're there and other times they aren't. I've never upgraded the tub but the metal parts show up anyway sometimes. When they do show up it's in the same fashion you've mentioned...they aren't there when I'm placing it but then they pop into view as I let go of it. Both tubs do this for me as well.
