[EBN] Sim won't bathe nor catch frogs in own pond (active Want)
I have installed the Enchanted by Nature Pack yesterday and played for a while with one sim in Sprucederry Grove. Newly made sim, newly made world. By now she has her Natural Living Skill maxed. Her lot if the Fern and Frond Wading Pool. She should be able to bathe in her pond and look for frogs there, but she simply refuses. I've tried completing her wants, but that helped literally only once. The weather is cold, but with her Natural Living Skill at 10 this shouldn't matter according to the game. She DOES bathe in the river/stream in Spruderry Grove, so I know the cold isn't the problem. She can get to the water of the pond on the lot without a problem. I have no CC nor mods installed as I first wanted to try out this pack without any outside additions.

Ever since installing Enchanted by Nature things constantly, obsessively, pathetically, abhorrently been breaking. Its truly awful! Within the span of two Sim days I had: 3 broken toilets, computer broke twice, 2 broken sinks, 1 broken shower, 1 broken fridge, and 1 broken TV. There are no ghosts on my lot, it is not cursed, no paranormal activity lot traits. I have zero mods, and play on PC. I understand there is now a luck system, but if this is the cause, that is truly and completely pathetic and I would rather have not purchased a pack that causes my Sim to lose thousands of dollars a day in repair bills or item replacement. That along with the constant fires starting has truly ruined gameplay.23Views1like2CommentsException in Sim Timeline: Exception running Element
I've had this bug happening a few times in different locations (home, Netherworld HeadQuarters and the most recent at the Spicy Festival) after planning some interactions for the sim. The last was with the Spice festival. I got this error message (with thanks to the Better Exceptions Mod by Twisted Mexi, the only mod installed in the game) Exception in Sim Timeline: Exception running Element (AttributeError: 'JoinSituationElement' object has no attribute 'situation_type') I closed the game last night after getting that error. And upon opening the game this morning again I got the error immediately, I assume because the Sim was still in the same situation. I've played this particular save always without mods because I specifically only made it for the events and I wanted to make sure nothing would influence the events in one way or another. The only mod that is installed is the Better Exceptions mod from Twisted Mexi. What I was trying to do: - Planned some interactions for my sim to talk to the stall vendors - What I expected would happen: just normal execution of the tasks - What happened: --> Without the mod: the game would start to lag and then hang and I couldn't even get the game to close. I had to force close it through the task manager by ending bu several times ending the task (the task would pop back up several times in the task manager before it remained ended) --> With the Better Exceptions mod: I got the BE Warning and the report. I closed the game after that without a hitch. but.... I can't play this particular save file anymore until the bug gets resolved because now it pops-up immediately when I resume the game and my Sim and the world are loaded. More information from the Better Exceptions report: Possible Cause (Confidence: 10%) interaction_elements I have added the saves files from last night's session and from this morning and the Better Exceptions report to the attached zip-file. I hope that helps in finding out what's wrong. I don't know if this influences it: I have the base game through the Epic Games store, while I have my packs and kits all through the EA App. I play on Windows 11 Home Edition on my laptop.

In the last week of gameplay: -Owned retail, rental and restaurant lots are not showing up in the business panel. Some of my sims own multiple venues and the panel says nothing is owned. -The manage worlds screen seems to correctly identify the lots with the respective owners. -Retail lots are not spawning NPCs still / not showing as owned either...(that part is new) NPCs not showing up is not.. It appears any owned venue / lot is glitched and not reading into the current household properly in game. As an example: The Restaurant I just had built with a household and got functional for rotational gameplay still had the same employees but my owner sim couldn't manage them or direct them as if she wasn't the owner. Additionally, NPC's including the actual employees can't get passed doors assigned for the employees only on the owned lot. I noticed this play testing other situations trying to pinpoint the cause. Another example: My Retail lot (department store) doesn't function if you visit when it is owned by the household, but upon selling it back with no hired employees, the lot functions as normal. Rental Lots have the same issue. Don't show up in the business panel in live mode, but do in manage worlds. one retail lot seems to to give an error code 123 for the owned household if they go visit the lot after switching households and having visited with another household prior. Then it "error codes" out. I believe the issue lies somewhere with the "current active household" parameters and the owned venues. This started after For Rent but has gotten progressively worse and spread into other venues since the most recent updates. This aforementioned lot can't be visited without an error code 123. so inconsistently I can't find a source to it. I don't know if its from the updates or not recognizing the NPC retail glitch problem was larger than that. it's a venue / household logistics thing. it's terrible. All those hours of work and it's useless now. (retails, restaurants, rentals).179Views1like2Comments[INFORMATION] How to Send User Files to The Sims 4 Team
