[AA] Imaginary Friend Vanishes when making real (Space issue)

Hi RainPromiseRoses​ 

how did you remove the mods ? Moved the entire mods folder to the desktop and deleted the localthumbcache ? Did you have a backup to go back to or did you not save when it didn't work ?

I play the Sims 4 from the EA App on an pc and every time my child sim has an imaginary  friend, they can’t turn their imaginary friend real once they become a teen. They become friends with them and everything they got to do, but it still doesn’t work. The option shows up but when I click to have my teen sim turn there imaginary friend real, nothing happens. I have tried with mods because I do use them in my game and turning the mods off doesn’t seem to work. I haven’t been able to turn an imaginary friend into a real sim successfully yet.

I am thinking it is more mod related but not sure where to start with my mods folder. I have so many mods that I don't know what one or ones could be causing this issue. I had only one mod in the mods folder when it worked but now that I put the rest of the mods I use in the folder, it doesn't work again. I also know I am not the only one with this problem, there is one other person that is having the same issue, but they disabled their mods. So, they have the problem without mods as well.

Rachel31311993​ Start by testing with NO mods or CC. Rename the Mods folder, delete the file called localthumbcache, and try again. You can exit without saving. Note that disabling mods can still leave the effects of some mods in place.

luthienrising​ I just tried what you said to do. I tested it with no mods in the mods folder, deleted the localthumbcache, and the same thing happened. I can't get my sim to turn their imaginary friend into a real sim. The option shows up, I click on it and it looks like was gonna work but the doll disappears a few minutes and comes back. After two or three tries it won't even say the option to turn them into a real sim after a while. I did however yesterday only have the MCCC mod in the mods folder and it did work then. I don't know what could be causing this issue. Someone else I know put it on discord that they are having the same problem as I am with the imaginary friends. So I know I am not the only one. 

Rachel31311993​ Thanks for doing that testing! I'm moving you to Gameplay Issues for now. Have you tried in a different household or a new save to see if it works in those scenarios?

luthienrising​ I have tried in a new save and the same thing still happens but I haven't tried a different household yet. I will try that sometime today and let you know what happens.

HI Rachel31311993​ 

could you test if it works with another kid/family/save ?

Use cheats if necessary to speed up the process :D

crinrict​ and luthienrising​ I have tried with a different household and the same thing still happens. I can't get my kid sim or any other kid sim in a save to turn their imaginary friend real once they age up to a teen. It always shows the option but nothing happens. The only time it worked was when I had only MCCC in the mod folder and it was the Lil' Monster ImagineMe Doll. Pretty Pegacorn ImagineMe Doll and Krafty Kid ImagineMe Doll don't work. I've tried them both and the same thing happens with either. I haven't tried the Wild Child ImagineMe Doll yet. I have tried with mods in the mods folder and I have tried putting the mods folder on the desktop and nothing works.

Hi Rachel31311993​ 

Do you have any LastException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?

- Delete the ones you have
- Trigger the error again
- Check if new ones are created
- If that is the case, please copy/paste the content here. You can open the file with any text editor.

Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Posting the info is meant for troubleshooting.
