Missing Interaction Options [PS4]
I'm playing the basic version of Sims 4 on PS4 (Version 1.70, updated 28/02/2023) and it seems like I don't have all interaction options available, wether with objects nor with Sims.
I have no DLCs or Mods or whatsoever installed.
I started a whole new game file, created new sims and placed them in an untouched neighborhood. But all of my problems even occur with pre-build sims, which are already in the neighborhood.
a few examples:
- The cellphone only has two options: Entertainment (browse web) and travel.
- I only have three conversation options with all sims (even if I'm best friends with them): Make a joke, introduce myself and discuss interests.
- I can't train charisma or any skill with objects. Same with programming or others. There are only limited options for all objects
- Even in the nightclub I only have the few convo options as mentioned above. Can't even buy a drink.
And the list of options missing goes on like that. It feels like playing a lite version of Sims 4.
I've already deinstalled and re-installed the game, searched for updates, restarted my console and everything.
Could it be, that I'm in some kind of tutorial mode? It would be pretty weird, because I played for about 50h on PC and never saw problems like that or that kind of "tutorial" in the beginning.
Quick Edit:
I found the Bug. I created the savegame, before update 1.70 was installed, so that has to be the problem. When I created a new savegame with the exact same Sims, everything seems to be normal. All the options, full smartphone, all conversation options.
So, lesson learned: update your games, kids.
