Re: Crafting Station seems to be stuck.

This is a bug report, important bug. So my sims is doing art and craft challenging, and then when they done they don’t show up the button for me to collect the prize. And my sims is stuck in they place, i was in build mode when this happen. I see my sims is done so i log out build mode to collect. The button is show up when i out but then it disappear quickly, i don’t get the video footage but i take a picture. This is a important bug because it make my sims become stuck and can’t not collect art and craft stuff.

Date of this happen: 14:21 (GMT +6, in Vietnam) Friday, 26/7/2024) 

Device: IPad (mobile)

    Try calling over another sim and then tap the waving stuck sim

    I assume you have done the basic trouble shooting

    Close game, restart

    Shut down device, restart

    log out, log in

    Shut off VPN

    Tried a different connection, WIFI, cellular etc

    Tried a different device, for you an Android whith a different OS would be preferred, if someone normally play on Android an Apple device would be better

    iPad does not mean much, more than it is an Apple product

    What model and iOS does si it?

    It is a huge difference between an iPad2 running iOS 12.5.5 and a Gen 10th running on iOS17 something or a Pro or Air

    2 of my sims were in the middle of making candles, then they both froze for hours. I couldn’t unfreeze them. Then 1 unfroze but the other still stays frozen. I can’t do anything with him. Anyone else having this issue? Please let me know what to do. 

    I'm using IOS

    The game won’t allow me to progress. I’m behind on the latest 13 day mid century mansion live event because the game won’t allow me to select that the sims have finished their candle making etc. it’s frozen in the weirdest way and I’m concerned this will prevent me from completing the event. 
    there have been so many bugs and glitches lately with gameplay making it impossible to complete events and frustrating. I’ve attached a video and screenshots that hopefully show what’s going on.

    I started the Mid Century Mansion event, and made 50 candles.   Once I collected the candles then it wouldn’t let me make more.  The 3 Sims are stuck and won’t do anything.  I took screenshots of the issue too.

    I found that if you tap on the sim, it will collect the candles but that doesn't work with the pottery stations which have the same issue.

    Call another sim over from another house and tap on the sim at the stations.

    @MDlovesims425 I got mine unstuck the first time this happened but so far no luck with this time. It glitched at one point and I got a bubble with candles but i accidentally moved my screen and it disappeared 😩

    It is being investigated

    meanwhile

    Try calling over another sim and then tap the waving stuck sim

    This works for some, worth a try

    there is strengh in numbers, contact support and add to the numbers

    and while you are there, ask for compensation

    So, yesterday I put my sim to make candles for the event going on, but for some reason today when I opened the app the character froze and I can’t make them do anything else and cannot collect the candles. Is it a bug? If so what do I do to stop it? 
    (I’m on mobile btw)
