In my latest, fairly recent game, the robot vacuums break at least once a day. I upgraded them so that they were unbreakable and installed the trash incinerator on the dock, but they still need the trash removed at least once a day and they still all regularly break.
My Sims live in Del Sol Valley and have a very large house, so there are a total of 5 robot vacuums. My family spends so much time repairing them. Plus, half the time, the green bar that shows how much longer they have for the repair doesn't show. And they will just repair and repair and repair with no result. Sometimes, i can reset the vacuum and move it to the dock, and it'll be repaired (but only after trying to repair it).
I play on a PC and have Windows 11.
I have all of the game packs except Strangerville. I have all but 3 stuff packs. I have a few kits. I can name them if you need me to.
I use only one mod, and that is to offer all of the available costumes to the "wear costume" option.
I have all of the recent updates installed.
This didn't happen in my previous games. Just this new one.
