[MLK] 'The ArtFrame TV' Lacks Pie Menu

Hi, howdy.

Just came across this weird bug where this TV, and only this TV has no pie menu, hover-over text or hover-over white outline.

I removed all mods, cleared the cache and the issue persists regardless of

  • Lot (Owned or Visiting)
      • Apartment
      • Home
  • Sim selected
  • Weather
  • Swatch
  • Cheats disabled/enabled
  • With or without any NAP
  • Save file, brand new or existing
an image showing a sim's apartment, where all swatches of the problem tv are mounted on the walls of pinecrest apartments #402

Info:

  • Windows 11
  • Version 1.123.85.1020 DX11
  • Memory Boost: Automatic
    • Did not appear to be switched on at the time, based on my observations. Not really sure how this works but sometimes the game seems to get overwhelmingly fast when it's on, which happens in Automatic sometimes.

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted pack tag to fit conventions of the forum.

    Tried testing this in my game and I cannot seem to replicate the issue.

    Hey crinrict​ (should i be tagging you if we're working in a thread together already?) I tried this out just now and I'm still having the same issue, weirdly enough.

    Apparently, I also have an issue with this particular sofa (Johnny Zest’s Sweet Revenge Sofa) from the Industrial Loft kit-- I know I have to make a new thread for that one, too.

    crinrict​ just tagging you in this follow-up from late last night for visibility :)

    Follow-up: I just came across a thread where someone else had this issue and was directed to this thread: Can't interact in-game with marketplace bought kit items | EA Forums - 13282073

    This kit I did not buy from the Marketplace, however. This was purchased in January, with a $5 coupon issued from completing an official survey. 
    I don't recall having this issue until very recently, either but I couldn't honestly pinpoint if any particular patch affected the TV and sofa.

    Tagging is fine if I asked you a question :D

    Did you buy the MLK through the marketplace ?

    Could you try if the sofa goes back to normal if you disable the MLK pack ?

    From what I can tell the issue should only affect marketplace bought stuff although there's a weird issue with swimming not working for newly bought packs as well so maybe it's more general.

    For now hold off with making a new thread for the sofa issue. I'll check with a community manager.

    oh, okay crinrict​
    I did not, I checked last night when I was browsing around in here, and I saw that thread about Marketplace-purchased kits. I'll tag you in my follow-up I replied in here with last night.

    Can do! I'll hold off on making a new thread for the sofa.
    Disable the Modern Luxe Kit did affect the functionality of the sofa, unfortunately.
    The Industrial Loft Kit, I'm unsure of how I purchased that one. I can't find the receipt for it so I may have purchased it before cleaning out my inbox.

    Thanks for the follow up

    I'm unsure at this point if it's the same issue or not so holding off with merging.

    I forwarded this to a Community Manager to see if Maxis wants it merged.
