[AA] Weights missing from rack/Greyed out options saying in use

Hi TA1111​ 

is it just that one rack ? The one next to it seems to have weights ? What happens if you replace it, do you have the same issue ?

Hi crinrict​ 

The empty rack is not usable. 
I tried Shift Click, reset item - no change. 
I did not go into build/buy to delete and repurchase because I wanted to report it here and be able to troubleshoot or answer questions if needed.  

Also tried moving to a different lot then re-entering this lot.  No change.
Save / Closed Game then later reopened this lot.  No change. 

I'll look more closely at the other rack that has some weights on it and let you know. Thx!

The other rack, with some weights on it, to the left of the empty broken rack - images below:
1) shadow 'lift weights with' and says Object is already in use.  Object is not in use.
2) shadow 'teach pump it up class' and says There are no available sims nearby.  There is a sim nearby but on treadmill. 

Next I will try to purchase a new rack and see what happens. 

New Blue Rack testing: Full of weights, no shadowed options.
Told sim to do Arm Curls. Using item and the rack is partially full of weights. Sim stops Arm Curls and the rack goes back to full of weights like it was when I bought it.  I have screenshots if you want them. 

Next test: I open the gym. Customers arrive. New Blue Rack is used for Arm Curls. 
But, when the sim stops, the blue rack does not return to full.  It is partially full of weights and 'Lift Weights with' is shadowed. Incorrectly showing 'Item in use' after the sim has walked away and no one is using it.  

Update: Back in the game. 10 mins later and the New Blue rack is working properly, no shadow options, full of customers.  The bug is inconsistent. 

Thank you for the testing.

The rack is still wonky.  Nov 7 2025 Photo shows: Sim using the blue free weights and another sim decided to chat.  Lower left, Shows he is still using the free weights but nothing is in his hands and he's idle waiting for the chatty sim to walk over.  While he's idle the rack isn't free for another sim to use.  

Sims can lift, run on treadmill and have conversations without stopping.
I think they have to stop boxing to have a conversation.
The rack needs adjustment re: In Use.
