[PLEASE READ] Information/Questions about the bug forum
Setting this up for questions. I know there are many at this point. I will update this post in the coming days with more detailed info but for now I'll put a few important resources/links here. Please read the General Information About The Bug Reports Forum before posting. All the important info that you need to know is in there. You'll generally find links to important resources in the side bar The compiled list contains links for the EA forums only but the old compiled list is available in the The Sims 4 Bug Reports - Archive and is also linked in the new compiled list. I won't be able to update the compiled list very often atm as there's more work involved to update it atm. As pointed out in the general information, you will not need to re-report any open issues although a lot of the more popular ones already have new threads. Issues that are fixed will also get marked as such in the Bug Archive and issues that get re-reported get archived with a link to the new thread. As with AHQ, I'm not reading threads I'm only reading threads that are [TROUBLEHSOOTING] or [NEW] unless the issue interests me. You may tag me if something needs clarification. For tasks of administration nature, please tag a Community Manager.
Animations not working
My sims either won't follow a command (just stand there) or they "do" it without actually moving. For example, they will go to sleep without getting into bed. I've linked to a video to better explain. As you can see from the video this is without mods/cc installed. I play on an M1(2020) Mac. Animation bug
[DO] Restaurant: 123:20ece5dd
My sim has purchased a restaurant which inconsistently results in the “error for game to load 123” code. I have tried removing my mods, bulldozing the lot and replacing it and the issue still persists. It is inconsistent and difficult to know what is triggering the issue.

[HR] Nectar Pouring Interaction Fails (Nectar downloaded from Gallery)
When I make nectar and age it, and then save it to gallery in a room or a build like a retail shop, and then place that build again into the world, all my nectar bottles become buggy: They lose the aged value and are suddenly "not yet aged", when i try to "pour them into 2 servings", my Sim T-shapes and I'm getting an LE (exception pasted on the end) all the nectar bottles that had been set for sale, are suddenly in a strange state that they don't show for sale anymore (the little tag icon disappeared when I'm a buyer, and when I'm the owner it shows me again the interaction option "set for sale" instead of "set not for sale", but when I grab one of the bottles and use the drink interaction the red simoleon sign crossed out appears, as if i took something that was for sale. It's quite messed up. When comparing this to the Fizzy juice, the Fizzy juice works correctly and keeps all the information and state when saving and re-placing from gallery, see last screenshot. It also still stays on sale correctly. Repro steps: Make nectar and age it to anything higher than "not yet aged" Place the nectar bottle in a retail shop as owner and set it for sale Save the retail to your own gallery Place the retail from gallery to a new lot Now visit the lot and observer the issues: When you hover over the bottles they are not anymore for sale, they are not anymore aged and when you grab them and pour 2 servings you will get an LE and experience above issues. I'm experiencing the issue both on pc and mac, and have removed mods for testing. I think this has been broken since HR came out, I made several shops with wine and always have to re-do all the wine again when I want to move the lot to another place, which is A LOT of work given it takes so long to age it. I have all packs and am on the latest patch. Before saving to gallery: After re-placing the saved build from gallery to another lot: Fizzy Juice stays correct and for sale after re-placing though in comparison: Last exception: Somehow my post gets deleted when i paste it here, so i will attach it in a comment later.

How do I turn off the screen capture feature in Sims4 on a Mac?
I've done the thing with my keyboard turning off screenshot shortcut. But it keeps screen shooting during the game making me unable to use cheats. I've tried cmd + shift + c which didn't work. I've also tried cntrl + shift + c and that also didn't work. I've also tried fn + cntrl + shift + c but that also didn't work. All the key combinations I've tried all take a screenshot. Im really confused on what I've done wrong. pls help
Sims Freeze Upon Entering Save
I’ve been having this issue since the Jan 25th update. Anytime I load into a save, within a couple of seconds my sims freeze and will not do anything, qued up or not. The clock continues to move but that’s it. When I try to reset my sim using shift click, reset object, the sim will stand with their arms slightly held out and I can’t do anything else from there. I then have to exit to the main menu, re-enter the save, and then the game will work. I saw this reported elsewhere but it was declined as a bug. I’m pretty sure this is a bug though, not a tech issue. It’s making the game completely unplayable and is very frustrating. Was hoping it would be fixed after the Jan 28 update but it was not. No mods or cc and I’m on a MacBook Pro 2012.
