Edit By Bubonic_Square: Two fixes found, selling and replacing computer works, repairing/updating the game also seems to fix the problem. Thanks to everyone who helped solve this problem <3

  • @Bubonic_Square Tested this and it works fine for me. Does the Sim leave the lot at all or does it happen before that ?

    Can you adopt Cats & Dogs ?

    Are you playing off-grid ? Have you tested another lot to see if the same issue occurs ?
  • Post updated, fixes for the problems were found. It seemed to be an issue with the item itself instead of the game, thanks for your contribution <3
