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.
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 active
Reproduction 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
