Task Bar won’t allow me to remove tasks such as sleeping and preventing me from performing any other tasks or go to work ; also in a separate game it won’t allow me to age up my sims ; glitching occurs with both. 

Im playing on Xbox One S & I’ve been having issues with glitching since the November 2020 update. I only recently downloaded Tiny Living around the same time as the update as well. I’ve tried refreshing the game, quitting the game and reloading it, restarting the xbox altogether, AND uninstalling and reinstalling both the base game and tiny living package, SEVERAL TIMES. I’m getting very frustrated with this because nothing seems to be working. PLEASE, any advice or information would be very helpful. 

Version 1.34.138.2300 is what I have currently. All updated, no mods or cheats or any extra content other than the base game and the tiny living pack. Max Sims is set at 80, I have autonomy turned off and auto age for played and i played sims turned off but those have never given me a problem before. The game save in reference is fairly new as well, I just started this game about a week ago. Same as the game with the aging up issues, about two weeks ago i started that one.. 

  • @abbycarpe You can reset your sim in a few ways to clear their action bar.

    • You can reset your sim using cheats. This disables trophies and AchievementsControls Here for Console.
    • You can travel to another lot with your sim to instantly clear all queues for all sims on the previous lot. (Non-Cheat, ideal way if not cheating as it covers sims not under your control)
    • You can reset your sim by going into build mode and placing furniture on top of them until the sim does an A pose and teleports away. (Non-Cheat)  A small note about resetting your sim this way. If you have a toddler who has eaten produce, they will drop all their produce around them on the floor in a grand circle. You can pick it up quickly by mousing over it and pressing X (XB1) or Square (PS4) twice. Reference.

    Can't age up a sim with a birthday cake, use this thread  Sim Doesn't Age up by Blowing out Candles.

    • Placing a cake on a table with nothing else on it, or outside on a table should allow you to age your sim with cake.
