What has been your solution to sounds you can’t locate in this hot/cold game of find the ‘crackle’. Contemplating removing every item of furniture, one at a time in order to isolate the sound. Any shortcuts to this irritating and frustrating mechanism. Thankyou.
Turning the sound in game off 😃
But seriously, broken items can't be stored, so moving a room in storage could work, but removes your entire house.
Other than that, just clicking until you find the one that is broken and repairing it. Crackle sounds like a broken electronic to me.
@rare_username101 In my opinion, it's part of the game (things do get broken IRL). What my sims do is they enter each room of the house (which is probably not a lot of rooms) & once there is that "buzzing", that's usually where the broken thing is. Mostly, you'll see "insects/moths" & brown dust flying on the broken item/object. Generally, there's really no need to remove items to pin point which is broken once you see those.
@dissenterjasmine Sure, I just can’t find the broken object, can’t see any flies as you normally do, I can hear the crackle though, it gets louder and quieter depending on how close/far away you are.
It might be hiding somewhere in a closet or even underneath something (that once was a bug).
@rare_username101 The best option would be turning the sound effects off on settings or muting your device volume. Actually, that's how I usually play (to minimize distracting people around me in public while playing). I only notice that an item is broken when my sims need to use it 🤔
EA QV Team@rare_username101 Is the repaired broken item still making the broken sound effect, or is it that a broken item is only playing the sound effect, but not showing the visual effect of being broken?
The next time you encounter this, could you submit a bug report and mention the specific item/object it's happening to?
