I’ve run in to this problem countless times pretty much since the game came out and before I even started playing with mods. I sometimes want to change a townie’s outfit without having to go to manag...
Ideas
I have the following problem, when my sim travels to the community lot and goes to CAS via a mirror or a wardrobe, when CAS is closed the game loads not the community lot but the household of that family.
Steps to reproduce:
- Clean Sim 4 folder, no mods
- Start a new game
- Download a family from the gallery
- Select a residential lot and load it
- Select one sim and go to any community lot
- Go to CAS via a mirror or a wardrobe
- Exist CAS
- See that residential lot is loaded instead of the community lot where a sim entered CAS
Expected result: after exiting CAS a sim stays on the same community lot. Once the issue happens it will persist in all families.
If a create a new sim4 folder, no previous saves and start a new family (not from the gallery) then it works. If I start with a family from the gallery first then any family created afterwards will be affected by this bug.
I repaired the game, created a new sims 4 folder with no mods, previous saves, etc. Totally new and clean save.
I attached the screen recording of the issue
Hi Blair_me
there's several similar reports for this. The issue is that the game loads back into with a different Sim.
In your case, the game loads into the Child which showed first in CAS.
Could you test
- Does the same happen if you travel with the child somewhere instead of the adult ?
- Does the same happen if you travel with the whole family
- Does this happen with Sims that only have one household member ?
Thanks a lot for your feedback. So, I've just tested
- Child travelling alone - no issues
- Whole family - they stayed on the same lot, however the child appeared somewhere on the edge of the lot with a camera being focused on a child instead of the sim who initiated CAS.
My family visited gym, not the park, so it's a bit hard to say.
3. One sim household - no issues.
I also tested one more household: one adult, one teen and one dog. The issue is reproducible.
Also 2 adults and no kids or teens are fine too.
Blair_me Thanks for testing. I've merged this with the other edit NPC thread as it's essentially the same issue. Make sure to upvote
marianlarsen Make sure to upvote this too if you haven't.
The same happens to me when I have a household with more than one sim.
Have one sim travel somewhere. Enter CAS through shift-clicking. It gives the same result. It’s usually public lots.
