@izzyalfkakiya&nbsp;This really looks like something an outdated mod would cause.&nbsp; I had something similar happen and it was an outdated mod that caused it.So to make sure, you need to test in a save without mods and cc.&nbsp; To do that, move your current The Sims 4 folder somewhere safe.&nbsp; On your desktop, or somewhere else outside the Electronics Arts folder and start a new game.&nbsp; That will create a new The Sims 4 folder.&nbsp; Create the new sim, put them on a lot and start any event where you have seen it happen.&nbsp; If the issue doesn't happen, then shut down and copy just the mods folder over to the new game and restart and try the event again.&nbsp; If it come back, then it is certainly a mod or cc item causing it and you will need to go through your mods folder to find the culprit.&nbsp; Depending on how many mods and cc you have, it can take a while.&nbsp; I would start with the mods first though and make sure you have the latest updated version of those you use.&nbsp; Once you find and replace or delete what it was, then move your original folder back and give it a try.&nbsp;&nbsp;Tbh, this looks like something an outdated UI Cheats would cause.&nbsp; That's what it was when it happened to me.&nbsp; So if you use that one, try that first.&nbsp; It was last updated early this month and the current version has been cleared to be ok with the last patch.&nbsp; So get the updated version and try that.&nbsp; If it doesn't fix it, then keep trying until you find what is causing it.&nbsp; You probably ought to do it testing one mod at the time.&nbsp; You could also try doing it via the 50/50 method to help narrow it down if you use a lot of mods and cc.If none of that works, come back and let us know and we can try some other things.&nbsp; If it does work, then come back and let us know too.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hope this helps.

I'm unsure, but I think it might be when the sim is busy. I had this glitch when I asked a busy sim, but it worked fine with another sim that wasn't.&nbsp;

Hi all,

I'm closing this thread since it's a few years old already.

Remember you can always create a new one in the relevant section 🙂.
