I just got this game. No CC or mods. I moved SIM into largest penthouse and moved elevator and mailbox and trash to 2nd floor all was well then bulletin board stopped giving festival info and I wasnt reciving notifications about festivals. Started new game same penthouse and I got humor festival but now bulletin board wont change posters and when you click on festival info nothing happens. Stayed at humor festival until it disappeared btw. Tried debug and getting new board still no luck. Tried resetting object and SIM. Restarted and repaired game on origin still no help. Searched online but nothing suggested works. Help I need spices lol

    @epdaly11 The boards don’t have festival info all the time, they only show info on the same day a festival happens. Each festival happens on a cycle every two weeks and on a certain day (e.g. romance festival is always on Saturday), so if you had a spice festival recently, the next one will be in two weeks.

    Bulletin boards don’t control festivals. Festivals just happen. I get notifications about them even when I play houses outside the city.

    @simvasion Thank you for the quick reply and info. I am not getting notified about festivals at all. Its not coming up in the notifications bar. I just started the new game so maybe I'll give it a couple SIM weeks and see if festivals pop up and report back. Thanks again!

    Well it kinda of works. I habe to keep my notification bar dropped down to find out about festivals bc the bulletin board doesn't give me ant info and neither do the signs. The signs work when your at the festival, which defeats the point lol. The bulletin board flashes but doesn't give any info.

    @epdaly11 maybe the editing of the lot screwed something up. Did you test on an unedited lot or a different lot ?

    @crinrict when i was in my game I switched over to a different household that I didn't mess with and the board worked fine so I figured it was from moving the elevator. I will say I moved my sims to sulani and put the event sign on my lot and it seems to be working fine. I really appreciate the followup though. On an unrelated note I haven't been on here for years but when your name popped up I remembered it from answering all the Sims 3 questions. You have always gone over and above and are beyond helpful so a big Thanks to you.

    @epdaly11 Thanks. Means a lot.

    Do you still have the broken save ? If so, might be interesting for QA to look at. Cause you should be able to place the elevator whereever you want in a penthouse
