Hi everyone. When i loaded in the game yesterday, i realized that a LOT of small business activities were missing from the panel. For example, I wanted to select "making wine nectar" and realized tha...
Ideas
Try the following
- Close the game
- Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
- Repair the game again
- Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry.
- Start a new save game
- Check if you still have the error
- Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.
Hi, thank you for your reply.
I did everything like you asked and :
- About the missing activities, i realized that they are only missing from the "manage employee tasks" panel. When i create a new small business, i have all the activities on the panel where i set everything for the first time. And everytime after that, when i go in the setting of the small business, the activities for the business are all still here. But when i open the "manage employee" to assign them tasks, that's when several (more than a dozen i think, i didn't count) activities disappear. To give an idea, in the setting of the small business, there is a total of 9 categories and i can scroll forever for getting to the end of the activities and in the "manage employee task", there is only 7 and no scrolling whatsoever.
- About the household/family member, i realized in my old game that i could hire my spouse only by asking her directly. I didn't realize i could do that. But she did not appear on the "hire employee panel". Whereas in the new game, the spouse appears in the panel and i can hire her both ways.
This means that my biggest problem right now is the fact that i can assign activities for the small business (like for example "making nectar") but i can't assign any of these activities to my sim or my employees, which means that my employees will not make any nectar anytime soon on their own during their work time.
Is this a bug? Or is there anything else i can do? Please help!
to be sure, you have the employee tasks on all and not any filter active ?
There are a few issues with employees though.
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.*Hi, thank you for you reply!
Yes, i have the employee tasks on All and don't use any filters (didn't even know there were any).
And it's weird because after checking again, the missing activities are random. For example, i have "drink plasma" because i own the vampire pack but i don't have "make pottery" even though i obviously also have business and hobbies. And i have "care for animals including mini sheep and mini goat" which is from the Horse Ranch Pack but i don't have "drink nectar" or "making nectar" which are both from this pack.
It's random and there are so many missing. I precise that all my packs work fine, they are not disabled.
I deleted all my LastException files and also the LastUIException files and repaired one more time my game before checking in my game. Still the same. And no new LastException files were created.
I confirm that the issue with the missing activities on the "Add Employee Task" is still happening.
What do i do next? Please Help!
