[S] Holiday menu needs to be reopened for each Sim

Since the 5/27/25 patch, I can't consecutively click on sims in the household to see what they need to complete in the way of traditions. If I open the menu with one sim, when I click the sim icon for the next household member, the menu needs to be reopened.

There is a lastUIException being generated, which I am pasting here since it is my understanding that files can't be attached.

It is the New Years Eve holiday in my game currently and I just noticed the new holiday menu. I don't like how I have to click on the little balloon symbol for every sim each time I want to see holiday objectives instead of them always being up like it used to be. I don't like this feature because I have lots of sims and I always want to make sure their holidays are fulfilled, but this seems like it will make it harder because I will have to click the menu each time I want to view the sims' individual holiday completions.

Same issue, open the event/goal menu to see the current holiday... switch sim and the menu is closed. If I don't open the menu on the next sim and go back to the first one the first sim still have the menu open but the moment I open the menu for any other sim the first sim's goal menu will close.

I'm glad someone brought this up. I thought maybe it was intentional but regardless it is super annoying!

Got the same issue also after the new update. It makes it harder to see what sim has done which goal in the holiday activity easy.

Ever since the most recent game update my event banner in the top left of the game does not remain visible. I checked through settings to see if I could find something there for it and I cannot. I did find something to remove the controls thing being on screen so I thought maybe this would be a thing too. as far as I can find, it is not. I want my holiday, date or whatever goals and objectives to remain visible at all times just like they have always been. But now, when I switch between sims, the banner gets minimized and I have to click it to open it. I do not have time for that mess as often as I switch sims.
Previously, there could be multiple events running and so I would have to click between them to see whatever banner I was working on the goals for. But that made sense as I wouldn't want all event banners and goals showing if they weren't relevant to what I was doing. But this is different. When there is only a single event going on, like my sims are on a date, the banner should remain persistently visible when I switch between sims. Please fix this back like it was or give a settings option so people can choose whichever they like best.

I have this same problem as well. Definitely not going to work long term. Mods removed, game repaired, caches cleared and issue persists.
