Stuck In Their Shadow: Promotion skips to Level 6
During this scenario, when you need to be promoted to level 5 of the Tech Guru Career, it automatically skips to level 6. This means you can't complete the scenario step/goal to move forward with the story. I tried to use "testingcheats true" and then "careers.demote TechGuru" but it just automatically fires you, you can't be at level 5, which renders the scenario impossible to complete.

Active household changes to first active household Sim after edits in CAS
I’ve run in to this problem countless times pretty much since the game came out and before I even started playing with mods. I sometimes want to change a townie’s outfit without having to go to manage world. This can be done by using the testingcheats cheat and shift-clicking any sim and chose “edit in CAS”. Whenever I then exit CAS, my active household then changes to that household that I was editing, not the one I was actually playing as. I then have to go to manage world and change back, going through multiple loading screens. I’ve no idea what causes this and while it doesn’t happen every single time, it does happen pretty frequently. It’s annoying since I sometimes just quickly want to change whatever horrendous fit a townie chose. And then when I change back to my household, all the actions I had going on have been canceled and my sims are doing the most random things. If I had any events going on, they have been cancelled and sometimes guests (and even household members) have left the lot, even if there was plenty of time left. Anyone else experienced this? It’s been pretty consistent for years for me, with or without mods, on any save file, and even on different computers. Edit By Crinrict: Added tag to title.

White Ad and UI Exception
When launching my game after 1.121.361 patch, I get a white pop-up for some kind of ad that is accompanied by a lastuiexception. No idea what the ad is supposed to be for, maybe the new pack (I DO NOT have the new pack)? I'm able to just x out of it without any issue, but wanted to mention it anyway. This is on a completely vanilla game load! I'm also on a 13-inch, M1 2020 MacBook Pro & play on the EA App. Here's the UI exception: <?xml version="1.0" ?><root> <report><version>2</version><sessionid>7109d05eb9fd7864698e3fb1</sessionid><type>desync</type><sku>ea.maxis.sims4.15.macarm64</sku><createtime>2026-02-12 21:02:12</createtime><buildsignature>Local.Unknown.Unknown.1.121.361.1220-1.300.000.233.Release</buildsignature><categoryid>(AS)widgets.Engagement.controls::EngagementMessagePane</categoryid><desyncid>7109d05eb9fd7864698e3fb1</desyncid><systemconfig/><screenshot/><desyncdata>ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable widgets.Engagement.controls.EngagementMessageLayoutFSIWith2Slots1 is not defined. at widgets.Engagement.controls::EngagementMessagePane/CreateInstance() at widgets.Engagement.utils::EngagementMessageUtils/DefaultUMMessagePaneFactory() at widgets.Engagement.utils::EngagementMessageUtils/CreateUMMessagePaneClassFactory() at widgets.Engagement.utils::EngagementMessageUtils/CreateMessagePane() at olympus.controls::GUIComponent/ConfigUI() at olympus.controls::GUIComponent/ConfigUI() at olympus.controls::GUIComponent/OnAddedToStage() at olympus.controls::GUIComponent/OnAddedToStage() at olympus.dialog::DialogManager/ProcessDialogRequest() at olympus.dialog::DialogManager/ProcessNextDialog() at olympus.dialog::DialogManager/HandleTransitionScreenHideComplete() at olympus.io::CommunicationObject/Dispatch() at olympus.io::CommunicationManager/SendUIMessage() at olympus.io::CommunicationManager/SendMessage() at widgets.TransitionScreen::TransitionScreenMoleculeMain/OnTransitionAnimationOutComplete() at widgets.TransitionScreen.controls::TransitionScreenAnimation/OnAnimationOutComplete() rtim=1626 Client Session Time: 19.07 Num Save Errors: 0 Num Load Errors: 0 Current Game State: 0x96d01090 LoadingScreenActiveFlag: 1 Origin Version: 13,631,0,6144 Modded: False SystemInfo: Mac OS X Version 26.2 (Build 25C56) GPU: Apple M1 macOS Metal driver 0.0.0.0 Architecture: arm64 </desyncdata></report> </root>
[CHEATS] Sentiment cheats no longer working
Recently, I was trying to get my teenage sim to develop a crush on a friend AND trying to remove a crush from another rando (who is her first cousin, twice removed, but still.. ew) and the modifyrelationship cheat is not working. ] I have HSY and have repeatedly used the "modifyrelationship firstname lastname firstname lastname (100 or -100) sentimenttrack_" command, and once I press enter, it just disappears and makes no change. I've tried restarting the game and have also redone the cheat multiple times, and have tried using ID numbers instead... nothing. Trying to figure out if this is a me issue, a mod issue, or something else because I've seen others mention it on Reddit forums :) Edit by crinrict: Adjusted title to fit migrated bug report: [CHEATS] Sentiment cheats no longer working | EA Forums - 11706768 Archived thread had 20 me toos
[CHEAT] Edit relationship in cas not saving (Partner)
When in CAS saving a relationship to partner (with the cheat cas.fulledit) it does not save. Well, it does, but not when going back to the game. I made a video to show what I mean. I play on pc. For testing I created a new save file with no mods and repaired the game. Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title
[LS] Romance Consultant: Not getting promoted despite all fulfilled
She is in level 8 of the romance consultant career. She has the skills requirement to get a promotion. She has done the work task as well. There is the golden symbol that pops up when your sim is going to get promotion. But my sim can't get promoted, she is stuck in the 8th level. I have also tried cheat codes to give her promotion and I have also tried MC Command Center to cheat to get my sim promoted but they don't work either. I hope this bug will get fixed soon :( Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title
The Convenient Bush not in regular BB Mode, Missing Nap/"Fertilize" Interactions
Product: The Sims 4 Platform: PC/Steam Which language are you playing the game in? English How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) What is your current game version number? 1.116.202.1030 What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All available DLC Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? In Build Mode, filter by either Toilets or Beds, use bb.showhiddenobjects to have the Convenient Bush it appear in the catalog for §50, and place it on a lot. Then, in Live Mode, attempt to have a Sim interact with it What happens when the bug occurs? Sims are not able to Nap or "Fertilize" the bush, despite it being tagged as both a Toilet with a Bladder rating of 10 and a Bed with an Energy rating of 3 What do you expect to see? The bush being available to purchase in regular Build Mode (not just debug), and have Sims be able to use it for both bladder and energy needs Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? The issue exists in vanilla saves with mods disabled Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure I love the purple/pink flowers on The Convenient Bush and wanted to use it in builds for my future Fairy and Nature Nomad Sims. & Dogs installed, pet in household). However, I was really disappointed that my Sims can't use it to relieve their bladder, despite it being tagged as both a "Toilet" and "Bed" in the catalog when debug is enabled with bb.showhiddenobjects, and it having a Bladder rating of 10 and Energy rating of 3. bb.showhiddenobjects command. This seems like a huge oversight, especially considering yesterday's patch made the Komorebi Shrubbery Bush available in regular Build Mode in preparation for the upcoming Enchanted by Nature pack.
