Comprehensive bug list – issues prior to July updates and post July updates

Preface: these are bugs I’ve personally experienced, I don’t use mods or cc. These are not in alphabetical order. Please feel free to comment bugs you've experienced so I can make a more general bug list in the future. :) 

 

General bugs/base game:

  • Infants when given nap are still tired and have sad moodlet
  • Routing issues, some sims can’t access areas other sims can
  • Reading to toddlers/children doesn’t always work, have to click interaction multiple times
  • Certain chair and desk combos don’t work – must sit at chair before being able to use computer/laptop
  • Multiple sims try to care for infant when one sim is already interacting with them and cancels interaction
  • Sims will randomly stop activities
  • Sims don’t perform queued actions – must reset object by shift clicking
  • Infants don’t crawl properly – glide across floor (worst when infant is in a onesie)
  • Fireplace catches on fire upon loading when it has the fireguard update
  • General crashing, but we all know that
  • Sims sometimes just don’t go to work

 

Seasons:

  • Some holiday goals are no longer check off as completed when travelling
  • Can’t always ask for present from Father Winter
  • Weeds still appear on plants that are out of season and cannot be weeded
  • Not a bug but sims will run outside during thunderstorms – it is best to lock all doors
  • Don’t always get enough trick or treaters to complete tradition if part of a holiday
  • Flower bunny doesn’t always spawn on lot
  • Sims with techie lifestyle get sad about broken electronics when no electronics are broken

 

Eco lifestyle

  • Fabrication machine not useable even when it is not blocked

 

Growing together

  • Don’t always receive top notch toddler trait
  • Tries to complete pull to stand up milestone on chairs that are at tables (desk chairs, dining chairs)

 

Parenthood

  • Some traits get stuck going into the positive and then do not show progress when reloaded
  • If childhood phase is cheated away it doesn’t appear in their simplogy but they still carry out the actions associated with the childhood phase

 

Laundry day:

  • Sometimes sims turn on washing machine when loading, other times they don’t

 

Crystal creations:

  • Sometimes crystals will appear as drained but moodlets are still there

 

Goth galore:

  • Hands disappear when sim is wearing leather jacket

 

Urban homage:

  • Hands disappear when wearing the jacket/bralette top

 

Horse ranch:

  • Children’s legs are cut off when wearing cowboy boots
  • Horses experience routing issues

 

High school years:

  • If teen graduates early they still have a hurt sentiment over not being invited to prom and so does their partner

 

Cats and dogs

  • Pets run away even if their needs are taken care of and given attention
  • If sims choose to interact with animal while painting it cancels the painting

 

Riviera retreat

  • Sometimes water features are only visible from second floor, rocks also disappear
  • Not all items appear when sorted by show all

 

Dine out

  • Sims will randomly stand up from their seat at their table
  • For Rent: 

    • Fire bug: If you get the cursed book event, fires will happen randomly several times a day if it's not resolved, sometimes even if it is. After the timer goes out there is no way to resolve the issue, fires keep going forever (5-6 a sim day). 

    Discover University: 

    • University events don't happen as they should (your sim show up, it says the event is ongoing, but no one is there nor are any of the things there). 

    DU/City Living: 

    • Objects after events and festivals gets stuck and stay after the event is over (especially happens when travelling during an event). Sometimes only some items gets stuck (like painting canvases without the easels, or the herbs but not the planters...)

    Horse Ranch: 

    • Horse will fall asleep during interactions such as riding, training with barrels or horse jumps even if they are not tired, cancelling the action and making the sim dismount.  
    • Sims will sometimes dismount horses immediately after getting on for no reason. 

    Growing together: 

    • Infant will not learn to crawl no matter how much you train with them, even on long lifespan.

    Cottage Living + For Rent: 

    • Farm animals will appear dirty and mistreated when on shared area of a residential rental, even if owning family takes good care of them and clean them regularly (when switching to non-owning family). 
    • Hens on shared area will cause sims to freeze when playing a non-owning family, hens needs to be reset for sim to move or do something. Happens repeatedly and can only be solved by hens being removed. 

    DX11: 

    • alt+tab still doesn't work even after patch (nor does the windows key)
  • Addition from discover university I've forgotten to add: the foxbury spirit day notification is sent multiple times at once and you cannot close them, you have to open the notification panel to make them disappear

    Closing this as it contains multiple issues. Please create one thread per issue in the bug forum.

    Check this forum and the compiled list for existing threads before creating a new one.

    Most of these probably already have a bug report at AHQ so you don't need to re-report them all.

    Check the linked compiled list for more details.
