FriendlySimmers While I and many others truly do empathize with you and share your feelings about this issue, that number is growing at a rapid pace! Getting their attention, asking them isn't going to make things move any faster.
I have a suspicion that this bug is actually from base game changes and effecting all packs, thus making is 100 times harder to actually find the coding with the problem and then fixing it.... thats a whole other time consuming project. You would have to truly understand the complexities of programming to understand that this one issue, is not going to be as easy to fix as we all would like it to be. There are so many factors that influence this.
Having patience would be so much easier if we had the communication from EA. So, I take deep breaths cause the this game and solitaire are the only games I play!!!! And my game is so broken in many ways, I honestly was in tears 2 nights ago when in "Live Mode", my gal was visiting a friend and we (me and my sim) watched in horror as the reaper came and took their cow, and all 4 of their chickens and 2 of them were young adults and I always play with aging off for everyone! I went to report it and saw the issue was just solved with an update??? 😵
I am finding myself getting angrier and angrier everytime I play my game now. A cycle I do not like and the only way I know to fix it is to quite playing altogether.
On this thread I did ask the following on Feb 20: Directly to someone ::::: If I may be so bold to ask, tho this may not be the place to do so either, I don't want to start a new thread. What, if anything, can we as players do to get some of these major issues fixed?? Like this issue.
What do you need from us .. that may actually influence this issue to get fixed?????
MY post was moved to: [PLEASE READ] Information/Questions about the bug forum | EA Forums - 11850203
it was helpful and lots of it was new since the 1st time I read it all when I started on this forum.
EDIT::::: And before someone is kind enought to suggest that I remove CC or MOD - 1 have 1 game. 5 saves at most I think and never CC or MOD tho I am on a PC.
Mods and cc are absolutely not the reason for this bug. Platform players are having this issue as well as vanilla players. They always want to blame mods/cc

dmorr43 That is precisely why I do not use them!
In my opinion CC and MOD are vaulable assets to companies to first (1st) blame something else, not be accountable, CC & MOD = scapegoat.
My understanding is this and please if anyone reads this and has more accurate knowledge and understanding - if I am wrong about this - CC not so bad as long as it is decor only. But today, more and more hackers are having a blast using CC as a way to get people's information to use in bad ways.
MOD per my understanding - actually changes how the game is played??? Making it do less or more, and this blows my mind, fixes what's broken that the developers can't fix themselves??? I've had such MOD's offered to me.
I think that PC/Mac are the only one's that can use CC or MOD's? PS4 and PS5 I know for fact they do not! Any other platform, I am clueless about.

To each their own, but I've been using cc since Sims 1 and cc/mods since Sims 2 and I can't play vanilla, especially with 4, it's utterly boring in my opinion without mods/cc. I've never had any info stolen from using mods/cc.
I find most of my headaches with the game come from EA themselves and I thank mod and cc creators each day for saving Sims 4 for me.
I think if EA doesn't fix this bug soon, it will be a mod that fixes it, like usual.

I play without CC or mods and I have the same problem, no it can't be that.

Definitely not a mod/cc causing issue. Both vanilla and console players are having the issue as well.
