Solved

Active Sim can't do any action AT ALL

Product: The Sims Mobile
Platform:Android Phone
List the specific devices you play with (e.g. iPhone 6s Plus, Samsung Galaxy S7) Huawei P20 Pro
OS Version Android 10.0
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? You make your sim do an event, come back to the game and the event disappears. It can't do actions with other sims or objects except for just turning on or off the lights and acquire energy from boosting items.
What do you expect to see? Be able to make my sim do anything she wants because she's active.

Country Philippines

I noticed for the last couple of months that when I throw parties, the party host sim sometimes gets glitchy. I made her do a standard hangout then when I came back on the game, the event disappeared and she can't do anything at all. It can't do actions with other sims or objects except for just turning on or off the lights and acquire energy from boosting items. I tried to hard close the game several times and even restarted my phone but she's still the same. And this bug's a little different from the busy sim 'cause when I try to make it do something or make my unaffected sims interact with it, there's no "Sim is Busy" message coming out.

  • I found a workaround solution for my own issue. It's always been the norm with this game lol. You make her do a workshop shift then make her go back to the house and she can do actions again. Not sure if there are more solutions to this especially for players who can't do workshop shifts.

    EDIT: Well, I thought the workshop shift is the solution lol. But it really isn't. After her shift, I made her do some actions at home. But she still can't. Turns out, the solution is that you make another active sim do a hangout with the bugged one. And after that, it all goes back to normal. Whew, good thing we have some workaround ideas or else we're just gonna end up sobbing about these various bugs haha.

    I had similar happening in my home and I was able to start a hangout from town location and the sims then traveled to home to do the hangout. After finishing the hangout all the items at house worked normally and I was able to do hangouts and hobby events at home.

    But if the player has the Season task bug, they might have to wait until that is fixed or the new season start until to try this suggestion.


    Similar happened with my sims workplace (model career) too and it basically blocked the whole Marketplace for actions for that sim. I was able to do the hangout (Fashionable Fun?) at the Studio and it cleared the issue from the workplace and the district. 

    In both cases before this bug happened, I had to restart my game quite soon after finishing an event and starting a new event, and after that the sim was seemingly free but the pink event actions were still shown if I clicked something. After restarting again all the event actions disappeared too and items just bounced when clicking them. This has happened twice during two weeks, but not sure what triggers it.

    Edit: Added the other sample I had with this bug

  • @Ilois4And when will the new season start?

    I was hopeing to hear news from the developers today (and hopeing to hear a fix update is right around the corner).

    Are we all having the «seasonal task bug» or is it just the group of players that did not finish the last season?

    @KatlaStormNo idea, but my guess is in the beginning of March. 🤔 But according to Simguru Sanah on twitter some info is coming on Feb 21st.

    I finished the last season (a long time ago,  actually) and still have the bug, so I don't think that's the cause.
