Sims leave job/school after another sim travels
In my household, I have a sim who goes to work and two who go to school before the detective career starts. Since the latest update whenever I click “join” to go to work with my detective sim to play the career, it brings everyone who went to work/school home for the day (at 9am sims time). It’s just slightly frustrating as my sims are going down in performance at their jobs/school as a result. I’m just not sure if there’s a way to fix this or if I will have to wait for the next update.

[GF] 'Use normal walk style' missing from Sim
After today's update (5/28/25), I can't locate the 'use normal walk style' option when clicking on my Sim. The 'help' tells me to click on my sim and the plumbob in the lower left but there isn't one. Please clean out help tips that are no longer valid. (A great thing to do when you fix something.) Sorry, I work in tech and get snarky. :) Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title
Sims Character Not Moving At All
After the new update, it seems like my Sims are stuck. It's like they're dead. They won't move or do anything at all unless I have them do something. For example, after I have my sim repair a broken furniture, they would just stand there for the whole day doing nothing. And when my Sims come back from school or work, they would just stand outside the house and wouldn't come in or do anything at all. Usually, they would walk around or do random activities on their own, and would usually go inside the house themselves after school or work, but they can't anymore. They can't sleep, eat, shower, or even walk around, talk to each other, technically any activities on their own, I would have to force them do it essentially. It's like they're stuck or dead inside. I checked for broken mods, and I have removed the broken ones, but it's still the same after I remove them. And usually when I have broken mods, my Sims wouldn't act up, it's usually the UI that becomes weird. I don't know whether anyone else has this problem, but this is one of the major bugs that I've noticed and has never happened to me before. Please fix ASAP, there are so many bugs because of the new update 😭.
Create a date doesn’t work
After the latest update, when i create a date for my sims (using the lovestruck pack), it either can’t happen cause the panel that shows up (where i select the activities and location) is blank or because as soon as my date starts it immediately ends for no specific reason.
Drag No Longer Working for several objects
With the New Update and Patch fix the Drag to Trash and Sink interaction is NOT working. A very important tool considering that sims tend to be extremely messy and not clean up after themselves. Diapers will likely not drag to trash either. Certainly hope they get on this ASAP. No Mods or CC are enabled as i do not use them. Testing cheats is enabled but to no avail. Resetting sim does not work for it has nothing to do with the individual Sim.

The shower cancels every interaction
Hello! I play The sims 4 on Mac, and 've been experiencing the same bug of a year: while my sim is in the shower, if I click on any interaction (like going to sleep or talking to someone, but generally anything), when he sim finishes showering, all the following interactions get canceled. It's like my sim resets, there's not even an animation of the sim getting out of the shower. This happens even if I don't click on any interaction while they're showering. The same thing happens with the bathtub, but the only difference is that if I cancel the bath interaction while the sim is bathing but before they finish, the following interactions stay in queue, and the animation of my sim getting out does play. I've tried repairing the game several times through the EA app, but it doesn't work. Also I don't have any mods installed. I hope someone can help me fix this bug.Photos/Paintings turning black/blank (1.102.190/1.82)
My pictures are black after I load back into my game on console. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit migrated bug report: [ARCHIVED] Photos/Paintings turning black (1.102.190/1.82) | EA Forums - 11628056 Archived thread had around 37 me toos EDIT by crinrict The photos get removed from your save game with this bug. There is NO way to recover them other than loading a backup. Even if Maxis fixes the bug that they disappear you will not have them back as the information is just not there anymore. Instructions on how to recover a backup can be found here: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/recover-backup-save-game/ Instructions how to fix your photos if the screenshot still existing (not for console) https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2025/04/custom-photos-in-game-fix-for-black-photos/ Make sure your photos are safe If you take photos you really care about, put them in a room and upload that to the gallery/library. They should stay save that way although there are also mixed reports for those After you took pictures you really care about, save your game. To me it looks like that the pictures aren't properly saved to your game if you click save & Exit. Click save first, then exit without saving.
