I found from other gameplay reviews that when it's 5 AM, Rooster will show up for a wake-up call. But in my game, it never appears. Only has the sound of a rooster.
Moreover, hens never come to sit...
Ideas
Joining in to say that I have this exact same issue, BUT as soon as the chickens and rooster become dirty.. they suddenly become visible in the coop! So a dirty rooster will be seen on the balcony and dirty chickens can be seen incubating eggs. But once they are clean, they are once again no longer visible in the coop. Note that the coop itself is clean in both scenarios. It's the actual animals we're talking about.
Thanks for this information! I never let the coop get dirty before, so I didn't know about this! It should be useful for The Sims team to detect the bug when they decide to investigate this bug.
But I wouldn't let them get dirty just because I want to see them lol. May test it just for testing before exiting without saving.
I never let the coop get dirty either, it was the actual chickens themselves that had gotten dirty. I didn't even know that was possible at first, but apparently they can get dirty and that's when I noticed I could see them again. As soon as they cleaned themselves, they disappeared again.
Also, I saw your question to a different comment about when we started playing Cottage Living. I actually bought Cottage Living the day it was released and didn't have any issues with the chickens disappearing in their clean state back then, so I can confirm that this is not normal!
I don't play with chickens in all my households and I play rotational so unfortunately I'm not sure when exactly they went missing in their clean states, but according to my screenshots folder the rooster was at least still showing up in his clean state on 10-10-2024. Meaning it's definitely a recent bug!
Thank you so much for confirming that it's not normal. Also, thanks for letting me know that it's normal at least until 10-10-2024.
When I found this issue, even though I saw that other gameplay videos didn't have a problem, I worried a lot that only my save might be broken. So, after knowing that people currently have the same issue, I feel more relieved, but then I want this bug to be fixed someday.
