    Hi  @Steel_Z3R0

    sounds like your options(.ini) file corrupted. You'll find the file in documents\electronicarts\thesims4

    Can you move the file to the desktop and then start the game again ? All your options will be reset to default settings and you'll need to re-set them one more time.

    They should then stick when you restart your game again.

    I wanted to test this for myself, to make sure the option is being turned off or not and it worked for me.

    You might need to turn the option off, select Apply Changes. Fully exit the game and then restart it.

    If that doesn't help, after turning off the option, fully exit the game and Origin. Then logging back into Origin, launch the game and then check the options.

    Go to Documents/ElectronicArts - inside will be The Sims4 folder
    Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
    Step 2. Fix the game in Origin
    Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
    You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
    Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
    Step 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder. Start a new game with a random sim and play for 10 minutes.
    If the problem disappeared
    Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
    "saves" and Tray.
    Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
    Step. 7, Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
    Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder and TrayDeleteItems file
    Step 9. If you don't use mods - skip this step.
    Check if there are newly updated version mods you are using.
    Then copy and paste your mods and CC from old mods folder to the new one. First copy the scripts mods every time checking if the game is working properly. If you have a lot of CC try 50/50 method ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)
    Step. 10. If all is OK - delete The Sims4 old folder. Now you will have only one game folder working properly.
