Same here! This specific lot challenge has never worked on my regular residential lots and small businesses residential lots, unfortunately, because it adds such nice and surprising gameplay. I get pop-ups informing of stove malfunction and such but there’s nothing to be fixed. I don’t have any mods.
Can confirm this is still an issue. My stove/grill allegedly keep exploding but they are in perfect working order and now I can't access build/buy for 24 hours.
Has anyone been able to find a workaround fort this? It’s such a cool feature that really makes a lot of difference on how fun and unexpected playing The Sims 4 can be. If only it worked on residential lots, not just apartments.
explosive malfunction also consistently fails to complete
Still no mention of this bug from EA. 😣
Bug Description:
During active use of the "Maintenance Issues" lot challenge (from the For Rent expansion), the "Explosive Incident" event triggered incorrectly. The event requires repairing broken appliances, but:- No actual malfunctions occurred (stove and all other appliances remained functional)
- No grills or similar explosive-prone objects were present on the residential lot
- Build mode remained locked for the full 22-hour event duration
- Event objectives could not be completed
Suspected Cause:
Improper event activation on a regular residential lot (not a rental property) while the "Maintenance Issues" challenge is activeReproduction Steps:
- Activate "Maintenance Issues" challenge on a non-rental residential lot
- Wait for "Explosive Incident" event to trigger
- Observe lack of broken appliances
- Note build mode restrictions despite no repairable objects
Technical Details:
- Expansion: For Rent
- Lot Type: Regular Residential (non-rental)
- Platform: PC (Steam & EA App)
- Mods: None
Severity Impact:
- Blocks normal gameplay for 22 in-game hours
- Prevents build mode access without cause
- Creates impossible event completion
My spellcaster just became a land lord, and during a maintenance event, i cast repario on a broken appliance. The spell broke the event. I got a notification saying i couldn't complete the even even though the appliance is not broken. I took out my mods folder to test it again. Same issue. Mods aren't affecting this. I waited for a second maintenance event to spawn, and the same thing happened.
For some reason, the maintenance event does not acknowledge repario as a valid way of fixing the appliance, and the entire event fails because of it.Edit By Crinrict: Added missing pack tag to title.
Hi Solafae
What platform are you playing on ?
Did you try if it works the regular way ?
There's a bug report here for it not working at all: [FR] Maintenance Troubles on Residential Lot: Can't do required task | EA Forums - 11914227 so it would be good if you could test what happens if you repair regularly.
pc. i believe it works the regular way? The event timed out before i can finish repairing.
Still having issues with maintenance troubles trait after update. Example: explosive maintenance nothing explodes, everything is fine no broken ovens. It will at least complete the task if you cheat and break an oven then fix it.
