[LD] [DU] Memorial Portraits/Graduation pictures show up blank
The memorial portraits from the Life and Death Expansion Pack appear to be bugged as they no longer generate an image of a deceased sim, instead showing a blank white image. Extra Information: I'm on Windows 11 PC I'm on Version 1.117.227.1030 DX11 of the game. I don't have Journey to Batuu and Outdoor Retreat Game Packs, Cool Kitchen, Perfect Patio and Luxury Party Stuff Packs, Refined Living Room, First Fits, Industrial Loft, Courtyard Oasis, Country Kitchen, Throwback Fit and Fashion Street Kits. Found initially in a modded save, but I tested in a non modded new save and the issue still occured. Edit by crinrict There's a few similar issues now. Please everyone use the appropriate thread for the issue you are seeing.

[HSY] Teen Sim Fails to Become Valedictorian Despite Meeting Requirements
Okay, bridging first.. I discovered that a Teen Sim must have a Grade A in high school, a maxed performance bar, ace the exam, and age up within a week (by Saturday) to become Valedictorian. I successfully applied this to three Sims in my main save file (it's not vanilla, mods/CC installed). These three Sims always gave Valedictorian speeches at graduation. The somehow, I recently encountered a bug with two of my teen Sims: • Case 1: Sim "X" became Valedictorian upon aging up, but at the graduation ceremony, another Sim had the "Valedictorian" tag, and my Sim didn’t give the speech. This persists in the same patch as a previous success. I don't have pict for this case, cuz I just "okay let it go, he still got a Valedictorian trait tho" • Case 2: Sim "Y" met all requirements (Grade A, maxed performance, "aced it" moodlet), aging up the same day with the buff active, but received a pop-up stating she graduated with honors instead. This disappointed me so much :( cuz she is the last teen Sim, so I played with her until she maxed out the age bar. Pict attached below Steps to Reproduce: Ensure Teen Sim has Grade A, maxed performance bar, and "aced it" moodlet -> Age up Sim within a week of the exam (by Saturday) -> Observe the pop-up window -> attend the graduation, check every Sim tag, wait until valedictorian speech sessions. Expected Result: Sim becomes Valedictorian and gives a speech at graduation. Actual Result: • Case 1: Another Sim takes Valedictorian tag/speech. • Case 2: Sim graduates with honors despite meeting criteria. Platform: PC Game Version: 1.116.240.1020 DX11 Mods/CC: Yes, this is my main save file. I can give you my save, but some Sim will lose their CAS CC (Hair & make-up). Aditional Notes: This issue is confusing as conditions (patch, mods/CC) remain unchanged from successful cases, so I think using Mods/CC not much impacted the bug. Any insight or fix would be appreciated Thank you!
No Promotions. Getting Raises instead
Sim joined painter career, promoted as normal until level 6 where we have to choose a career path. After this, no more promotions, just earning a raise. I tried with multiple careers and it still occurs. Every time my sim finishes work and starts daily task, the performance bar rests from excellent to average. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title
ServiceNPCs show up to Vacation Rental
My ranch hands keep showing up on the vacation lots of my sims, even after I removed all mods and started a new save. As I most certainly did not invite the ranch hand to come on vacation, I'm assuming this is a bug. Since this does not happen with other service NPCs, I wonder if the ranch hand is "attached" to the sim who hires them, rather than the lot for which they are hired.

NPC Dates from Lovestruck don't work.
NPC dates for various venues don't work. It spawns couples and then in 5-10 seconds it sends them back home. Sometimes it is fast enough to queue them up for stargaze a little bit or some interaction once. But usually it is not. It just keeps spawning/despawning them. Tested with no mods. It started happening since B&H patch update btw. Maybe that will help.
Number Hotkeys for Speeding Up Time Stop Working
After I hover over the shop pop-up, in this case, specifically for the September Sale, my "`,1,2, and 3" keys stop working, along with my Escape key until I go and save the game. It doesn't happen every time I hover over the pop up, but every time it happens I have just done that. The popup is also excessive, which is a different issue entirely. The game doesn't lag at all, it just doesn't react when I try to advance or stop time or try to pause with the escape key. It accepts mouse inputs fine. I removed my CC and Mods thinking that may be the issue, but the problem persisted.
Excessive Shopping Cart Popups
Since the last patch I have had continual popups show up on the shopping cart icon, promoting the, Grange Mud Room kit. I used to get a popup every now and again advertising this and that, but now it happens, every time I travel with a sim, every time I enter and leave CAS, every time I go into edit world. It covers in game notifications and is very distracting. At first when I enter the game there is noting on the cart for about 5 minutes, then the light shows up and the popups begin. I am playing on PC, in a completely vanilla game that has never had mods/CC installed. I have all Expansion, game and stuff pack and also have most kits. I am finding this situation to be very invasive in my gaming time and it is putting me off playing and definitely putting me off purchasing any more kits or up and coming packs.
Several Fireplaces Project Light from Fire Backwards
Expansion Pack: Horse Ranch Mods/CC Used: None Description: The "Sturdy Ranch Fireplace" from the Horse Ranch expansion pack has an issue with its lighting. The light source appears to be reversed — it emits light in the wrong direction, as if the fire is facing backwards. Because of this, when the fireplace is placed against a wall (as it's clearly intended to be), it emits no visible light into the room. Instead, the light seems to go behind the wall, which makes indoor lighting look incorrect and unrealistic. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Place the "Sturdy Ranch Fireplace" against any wall in Build/Buy mode. 2. Enter Live Mode or toggle lighting to night mode. 3. Observe that the light is not being emitted into the room as expected. Expected Result: The fireplace should light up the room in front of it, not behind the wall. Actual Result: No light is cast into the room, making the fireplace visually incorrect. Additional Notes: I'm not using any mods or custom content. I've also attached a picture showing the issue.
