Hi 2wy3gls428hr 

thanks for that.

Do you have this for every business/lot ? would be good if you could also test a new save (with no/mods)

I will test again with a different lot. This one had high foot traffic and long operation time so I wonder if that can affect it but I'll try to see if I can recreate it on a new save file and new lot and report back as soon as I can. 

Hello,

I have spent last night testing on an entirely new game save. My previous save file has been my one and only so it has been going for quite a while.

I was unable to recreate the issue after 15 store cycles. New save, new lot, no mods/cc again.

I did however run into a smelly sim that would come into my business 3 times out of the 15, stand in the same exact spot each time, do nothing but stand there, be smelly, pee, pass out, and eventually leave. This happened 3 different business periods. I have a functional bathroom that customers are using and there have been other smelly sims but I did not include them into this problem as they were simply just smelly with no other issues. I believe the sim in question had the title "In an argument" instead of a customer title. Maybe this was intentional?

The other issue I've encountered on this new save is that when doing lectures for programming sims will now get up out of their seat at the desk w/ computer and then group up and stand next to the desks and listen to the lecture that way. I have 3 computers in front of the lecture board and without fail the second I start a lecture sims sitting will get up and stand to the side and new sims joining will also stand to the side.

My previous save I had no issues with sims coming in to down for programming lecture or remain seating. Using the All-In-One powerful PC, Giddyup Dining (to slot 3 PC's onto), and luxury dining on the go for the chair. The previous save I used a different table but it was still a long table with 3 PC's slotted in. 

I will continue to test this save periodically but I do wish to resume my actual save file :)

Hope anything helped and I will try to report back if I notice anything unusual between the testing save file and my actual gameplay save file. 

Thank you for your time. 

Yeah, smelly Sims have been deemed design. Also please keep bug reports to one issue.

Would you be willing to share your save with the issue with me ?

If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

Hi 2wy3gls428hr 

have you been able to resolve this for your save ?
