What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play a sim
What happens when the bug occurs? Sims hygiene and energy going down very fast, energy won't go up much sleeping
What do you expect to see? The motives work as normal

Since the latest patch my sims motives are all over the place. The hygiene drops rapidly, needing to shower every few hours and energy is also going down fast and doesn't seem to be replenished while sleeping.

    I figured it out I think. Looked through all the hidden buffs and there was an uncomfortable one that was preventing sims from doing anything normally prevented from being uncomfortable. I removed it and now everything has gone back to normal, including the motives. All a bit weird but at least it's resolved!

    Sorry, I clearly didn't do the version properly! I've updated my original message, hopefully that's accurate now.

    I haven't tried a game repair yet, I'll try that now.

    @pdent Thanks. Yeah, just making sure you really have yesterday's patch

    Haven't played since yesterday but since there aren't any other reports beside yours, it doesn't look like a global issue.

    That's a shame (good for others, not so great for me haha!). Repairing my game didn't do anything. I've tried playing a different household and it's the same. Do you have any other suggestions that I could try? Thanks so much for your help.

    @ButtonBean13 You will need to download a mod called SimsInfo (found at Modthesims). That will tell you all the hidden moodlets a Sim has.

    MC COmmand center should also have a similar option.
