Breakable Objects can't be repaired (endless repairing)

I started a new save and my sim is living in Ravenwood (left side of map). She found a broken microwave in the dumpster and started repairing it because I had her just over level 5 so I thought it'd be "safe".  Only thing she would not finish repairing. Her skill kept increasing all then while and after her needs deteriorated to the point of desperation, I made her stop. It never did get fixed but her skill went up to level 8.  I seem to recall seeing record of this glitch years ago but can't find it, so I'm reporting it again. 
Here's a screenshot of when it happened. (Say Hi, Maci!)

Platform: Win 11 
Mods: none (totally vanilla)
All EPs, GPs, stuff packs, and a few kits

(It turned out to be a great skill hack, and it's not cheating if it's in the game, right... but...lol!)

    thanks. There's currently two thread for this so to know which one I need to merge this into (I don't have time to go into the game to check): Does that TV have an unbreakable tag or did you upgrade it to be unbreakable ?

    There's also a thread for objects breaking easily: Appliances break very easily | EA Forums - 4947443 

    You may want to upvote that one as it seems to be a side effect of what you're seeing.

    Thank you, I also cannot pull the game up right now but I can follow up later with the exact one. 

  • My sims are on vacation in Granite Falls and the hot tub is broken and it cannot be repaired as the butler and my sims just continuously keep repairing. This happens with many items in game so I usually break down and just replace the item. I have tried that and no matter how many times I do it, the hot tub is immediately broken again. 

     

  • Never cc/mod Win 11 PC, DX 12  -- this was just this past week. He took laptop out of his inventory, it was broken (i don't know why either),  on the 3rd repair I took this screenshot and decided I would have to sell/delete it and just buy a new one - which we did. 

    The irony --- I must point it out - the option to use the computer is still there!  So it doesn't know it's broken???

    Having this exact same issue today. All of my plumbing and appliances were broken and dirtied by an evil gnome. My Sim was able to repair all but the fridge, which is now stuck in endless repair. All of the plumbing and the stove are now stuck in endless cleaning, and I don't want to replace them because some very kind gnomes have already done huge upgrades to them all. 🫠

    Werewolves can no longer break upgraded objects, which no longer causes Sims to continuously try to repair them.

    Fixed in Patch 1.119.109/2.23

    Really don't know if that was all that was breaking unbreakable objects.
