[S] 'Take an umbrella' interaction not working

Same problem!

HI Elysia_Freyr​ 

Please try the clean folder approach described here: 📓[GUIDE] Clean User Folder Approach | EA Forums - 12690428 

If this doesn't help, do you get any lastException files in documents ? Did you test multiple Sims ?

I tied the troubleshooting tips and tested with multiple Sims, but the problem still persists, sadly. I found 2 lastException files in my Documents folder, but for some reason I couldn't attach them to this message. So I'll just paste here the contents of the most recent file, in case it might help with this issue.

I'm having the same problem too. Its not just my umbrella interaction, though. I also can't swim in Tomarang, make Nectar in horseranch or ski in snowy escape. The listed interactions either reset my sim or show up on the queue while game is paused and disappear when game is unpaused. I've uninstalled all my packs. Then, on a clean base game with no mods or saves I've reinstalled specific packs (that have issue with interactions) one by one to see if the issue still occurs with just the pack + base game. They still do. I'm not sure what else to do.... please help!

Hi Elysia_Freyr​ 

thanks for the LE

Did you buy any kits on the marketplace ?

No, I didn't buy any kits. Also, I can't test in my own game the other problems 2873bd4c4d0ade9a reported, because I don't have the packs they mentioned. Maybe it's all related? Not sure if it matters, but I currently own: Get to Work, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, Growing Together and Parenthood.

The others are related to marketplace kits hence the question when 2873bd4c4d0ade9a said they had it too. They have their own threads:

• no 'swim in ocean' option | EA Forums - 13275164 
• Nectar probably this unless the symptoms are different:  Upgrade parts/ingredients not recognized to upgrade/create something | EA Forums - 13291453
• Ski hasn't been reported to my knowledge, would need  it's own thread with more details.
