Re: [Mod related] Needs Bar doesn't change color

I really hope this gets fixed soon, so many of my sims have starved to death because their hunger was critically low and I didn't know since the bar was green and the moodlet didn't appear.

    Same thing has been happening in my game. The needs bars are yellow when they're full. The color of the motive bars and plumbobs is irrelevant now. There's no way to tell what a sim needs. The needs panel is broken since the last patch. I'm curious as to whether or not anything in this game actually works anymore, to be completely honest. 

    To those of you who are experiencing the same issue I am - the needs bars appearing yellow when they are actually full - popping out to map view and reloading the lot will (temporarily) fix the incorrectly colored motive bars. 

    For those of you who are having issues with motive bars appearing green and full even though the sim is starving to death, reloading the lot may work for you, too. If not, the best suggestion I can offer is to disable needs decay and play without that aspect of game while we all sit around and hope EA fixes the product we've purchased from them.

    If you have testing cheats enabled, you can disable needs decay by shift clicking on the mailbox. It's not a great option, granted, but it's probably the best one we've got currently.
