Re: My Sim Won't Use Toilet, Bed, Or Shower
I’m having this same problem. I purchased and downloaded city living, kids room, and dream home decoration, as well as updating my game. Now none of the sims in my game can use a shower/tub or prefor...

Try the following
- Close the game
- Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
- Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry
- Start a new save game
- Check if you still have the error
- Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.
Hey, I tried doing this because I have the same issue and have done since the patch update. It didn't happen before the patch update.
It works fine with no mods and CC, but as soon as I added my Mods folder back to the new Sims 4 folder, I get this message from BetterExceptions:
Possible Cause
(Confidence 10%) outfit_trackerReason: Exception in Sim Timeline: Exception running Element (AttributeError: 'Species' object has no attribute 'asm_key')
I don't have a ton of mods (only the basics like WW, MCCC, BetterExceptions, UI Extension and Basemental) with some small tweaks from Zero too. I do have CC, but also not an OTT amount.
Any idea what mod could be causing this?
TIA!
- @LizG3392 I'm getting the same error from BetterExceptions. I haven't figured out what mod is causing it yet, either.
U find how to fix it?
did u find how to fix it?
did you find the mod breaking it?
@little_birb_edGiven the error, I'd suggest testing mods that have anything to do with changing outfits. You can do that by leaving just those mods in your Mods folder, deleting localthumbcache, and seeing if you still have the issue. Either don't save when you do or test on a new save. If you still have the issue, try with half those mods etc. until you find the culprit. Check for updates to those mods, too!
I have followed the steps and now my sims is started from the begging, how do I get my saved stuff back?
@lgillott Your saves are in the folder you moved, still intact. The point is to test in a clean user folder, then move your saves back and test them too, still without mods or custom content.
This no longer works. I have no mods installed at this time.
And regardless of whatever actions I attempt, my sims refuse to use showers and tubs, beds or much of anything else, because it seems that the last few patch releases screwed up pathing, so that it attempts to path the sim through a wall to access anything.
I have tried moving the stuff I want them to use, and it does not help, because it just extends the pathing to the new area, but continually tries to path them through a wall.
This is a brand new save, brand new sim, no kids, no pets, only person in the house. So there should be nothing to prevent them from using the objects.
I have been having the same issue since the Horse update with and without mods. I've started a completely new vanilla save after repairing the game as well and still no sleeping, showering, bathing, mud baths, massages, etc.
- @mariblaze If this is happening on a completely vanilla save after game repair and after deleting localthumbcache, please head to https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs. It's definitely NOT a universal bug, so something else may be going on for you.
