[LD] [MWS] Sims trigger Funeral/Wedding creation autonomously

Randomly my sims are trying to create events. It opens a dialogue window to create and event. A lot of the time is is either a funeral or a wedding. The event opens from a sim that is not currently selected or played. It is fairly annoying because it occurs every 5 minutes in real life. I have tried restarting and repairing the game. It started with the newly released bug fixes. 

 

BTW I greatly appreciate the ailment fix. That was so annoying, my sims would go to the holistic care, come home, and then get another ailment almost instantaneously. I had them constantly going to holistic care.

    I did notice that it occurs mainly on ghost sims. I have 2 in my household and it doesn't happen on the fully alive sims.

    I've never seen the game trigger an event creation that I didn't initiate.

    Try the following

    - Close the game
    - Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    - Repair the game
    - Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry. 
    - Start a new save game
    - Check if you still have the error
    - Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

  • Could you please provide the following information

    -  Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.

    Anything special that triggers it ? Never seen this in my own game.

    This and buying climbing gear autonomously on the computer (and they aren't adventurous or athletic sims) have been happening for months.  Non-modded or modded, it doesn't matter.  Tonight's session alone, one of my sims, who is already married, has tried to start a wedding event three separate times.  I've seen some discussion in a few reddit threads about similar events in others' games.

    @SimplyDeeSims Moving this to game issues for now as it might be a mod issue.

    Please move your mods folder to the desktop, delete Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > localthumbcache and then try again on a backup of your save

    Play for a while to see if it happens at all.
