[WORKAROUND] Sims not selectable/grayed out after changing outfit on rental lot | EA Forums - 11477425

This is NOT  a solution and should not be marked as solved this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. 

Please do not lock this thread—this is a serious, long-standing issue that has never been fixed, and it deserves proper attention.

For over 6 years, I’ve been dealing with a bug where Sims become unselectable (grayed out) after using a dresser or mirror on a rental/vacation lot. The only workaround is exiting to the main menu and reloading the save, which completely breaks immersion and makes vacation gameplay unusable.

I’ve spent thousands on this game. It’s unacceptable that such a core mechanic is still broken. The linked thread (11477425) is wrongly marked as solved—a workaround is not a solution.

Please:
Unmark this as solved
Stop locking threads discussing it
Escalate it to QA and devs for real action

This has gone ignored for far too long. We deserve better.

    6 me too's in 5 years does not mean that issue is solved. This is a game breaking bug for something that worked perfectly fine before a patch. I refuse to allow this issue to be marked as resolved.

    I know that you've been part of AHQ for a long while and I said it a thousand times over there: As long as thread is not tagged as fixed, it's an open bug and it's on EA to decide when they want to address it.

    With only 6 me toos in 5 years, it's not a priority.

    This new thread has now been set to review and up to maxis how they go on. I don't work for EA so if you have an issue, please contact a Community Manager.
