sims will not use toilet/routing issues?
i am so confused as to why my sims aren't able to use the toilet. they act like they're going to then do the animation implying they can't reach it. this is also only with adult sims; my child sim ha...
Forum Discussion
Can the Child use the same toilet? If it's a specific one that's being blocked, there's likely an object in the way. Otherwise, do you have puppies, kittens, or foals? You may have encountered this bug: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Single-sim-can-t-sunbathe-naked-around-a-puppy/m-p/8182264 There's a bugfix mod for it in https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-Common-Game-Fixing-Mods-Hero-Approved/m-p/9836185#M224478
hi! there are definitely no objects blocking the toilet. i've literally placed only a toilet in a 3x3 room and the sims still won't use it. i'm having a difficult time explaining whatever this bug might be because none of the factors make sense.
sometimes i'm able to rotate a toilet and the sims will use it. then they wont. sometimes if i delete a rug in the bathroom, they'll use it, but then later they wont. sometimes child sims can use the toilet and only adults can't. sometimes no life stages can! also, i am now unable to get my sims to cook. if i'm lucky, they'll get whatever they need to prepare out of the fridge and set it on a counter, but then the action cancels and they refuse to resume. it's the same animation i get as the toilet. i have multiple usable counters, but i can't get anything to work. i am having a similar situation with showers and cribs.
i have narrowed it down and this problem is only happening within a singular household. i have another household within the same world, and they are able to complete all actions fine.
i have cats in both households, but that's all. no kittens, puppies, or foals. thank you for your help. i apologize if i'm not making any sense! this is just so strange and i'm very confused.
How very odd. Maybe see if uploading the lot to the Gallery, clearing your game cache, and then redownloading the lot to replace the version in your game helps?
Test without mods just in case, but it doesn't seem like the issue here.
Did you ever find a fix? I'm currently having this issue. My sims also can't use their beds, the mailbox, electronics (except the tv), or appliances.
@lhulbert1 That's a lot of different things not to be able to use. There were some interaction issues after the Feb. 27 patch. Did you reupdated to the Feb. 28 patch?
