Sims obsessively use objects
I looked through the compiled list of bugs and didnt see this on there, so if i missed it and it's on there, oops! Anyway, I'm so tired of having to delete every single computer in the house simply because it's allll my sims want to do. It's the same issue with having a bar on the lot. I know that was "fixed" in an update a while ago at this point but it's STILL an issue for me, it never stopped being an issue. My main issue is the computers, but the bars is also still an issue, my sims make themselves alcoholics. Note by crinrict Some Excessive use objects currently tracked in this thread (list not complete) Computer (general) Bar Dance Listen To Music Destroy Doll House Play Woohoo Thumbs Up! Game Radios Cross Stitch Spaceship Teapot Yoga Mat Meditation Stool Coffee Machine Pressure Cooker Ball [SV] Conspiracy stall Please also just don't put anything in here. This is about object usage. A lot of issues have their own threads already. Would be better if you actually upvoted these like the water/juice/coffee/Tea drinking here: Excessive Drinking (Water, Juice, coffee, tea, ..) (Patch 1.58.63) | EA Forums - 4966133 Please check the compiled list as I really don't have the time to list them all currently
story_progression_action_relationship error
PC user This error always occurs between 2am and 3am in game. It started in my main save, it would make the game stuck so that I could not switch between Sims and they were also stuck. Game would not save. This would happen in any save I tried. I troubleshooted this myself using LastException assistant and BetterExceptions. Deleted and updated any CC I could before trying with no mods. With much help from Deaderpool's discord, we exhausted all possibilities and tested that the error still happens with all mods taken out, except MCCC so I could get the lastexception file. Better Exceptions says no mods are listed in the exception, and that Possible Cause (Confidence: 10%) is "story_progression_action_relationship." Last Exception Assistant says it is an "unknown error." I tried turning any relationship neighbourhood story options off, and that did not change anything. At first, the error said something about "utils." I tried completely reinstalling my game and tested with both mods and no mods, and the error still comes up. I am 95% sure it is not related to mods and is thus an issue with the game itself that I cannot fix myself. Before, the game was completely unplayable. Now it seems my Sims do function after the error comes up, but I am unmotivated to play until the issue is fixed. I have included the Better Exceptions report and the lastexception file from just now. If I can provide any more information or do more troubleshooting, let me know.
[BH] Customers leave shop through non-public areas
Hi, I’ve got a two story shop and when customers leave the shop (for example when it closes) they go upstairs (into the employees only section) and then disappear. It’s not a major bug, but in my opinion something worth mentioning. Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title
[V] Caleb Vatore's eyes broken genetics
Product: The Sims 4 Platform: PC Which language are you playing the game in?: English How often does the bug occur?: Every time at this point, even when making new game files. What is your current game version number? 1.113.297.1020 What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?: Expansion Packs: Growing Together, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle, Discover University, Island Living, Get Famous, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get To Work, Game Packs: Vampires, Werewolves, Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Jungle Adventure, Dream Home Decorator Stuff Packs: Crystal Creations, Paranormal, Tiny Living, Fitness, Bowling Night, Backyard, Romantic Garden, Spooky, Cool Kitchen, Perfect Patio, Moschino, Vintage Glamour Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?: Not sure, it only has happened when using adult mod. But I never had this issue with mods. What happens when the bug occurs?: Caleb's customized eyes revert to his template version: they become small and differently shaped. This also happens if he is cured of vampirism. What do you expect to see?: I expect to see Caleb's eye shape remain the same despite his age. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?: I Do, but I'm sure they're not the problem since again, I never had this issue with mods. Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system?: Not Really Until Now. Please describe the patch or change you made.: I have no idea how to explain this clearly, I did read that someone else had this issue but it was back in 2017, and they had no mods. This issue surprisingly doesn't happen on his Dark Form. Only his normal form. Caleb's my favorite of all Sims and its heartbreaking to see him have this issue, and it even comes up within Live Mode. Heck using MCCC didn't help the issue when freezing his appearance to keep it how it is. I did take some shots to show what I mean. Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title to fit old bug report.
[NKSP] Cannot ship sold items from plopsy (Patch 1.76.81)
Hello, My sim can't send items on Plopsy. I only tried with knitted items for the moment (caps to be more precise). I put it on Plopsy and wait. And when I receive the notification that a customer wants to buy it, I click on the mailbox and select the right button to send it (dunno the exact words in english) and.. nothing happens at all I play on PC and don't use any mod or CC (except the "Just go away" mod) First time it happens to me but I don't use Plopsy much. Is anyone else concerned about this bug ? Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title
Floating furniture and building completely gone
So yeah, I was going to play with this family, a family that I've already played with, when this happened. I've tried moving everybody out and the furniture is still like that. I do use Mods, but everything worked fine literally a day ago, checked updates on everything, and they're all up to date. This is also the only building that it happens in, it's Medina's studio apartment. Edit by crinrict There are a few similar issues so please check out this thread to see which one fits you best if you don't have any floating furniture: [PLEASE READ] Save Game Corruption
Outrageously High Bills
I could not find any posts about this specific problem with bills. It is not because of the patch though. It has been going on a very long time and I just always pay and move on. I can't say how often it happens but it's fairly regular that after two to four bills an super high bill will come in. It is not water or electric usage either. I totally forgot to open the bill explanation but I will the next time it happens. For now I have this screenshot of the largest bill across any of my households to date. At the time I had mccc installed but no other mods or cc but this happens even when my game was clean. Not really sure what to classify this as other than live mode.

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.

[LD] Kids With Grim Aged Up with Scrunched Faces/Body
Ive been playing a new save since Life and Death came out, no issues up until recently. My sim had twins with the grim reaper, and since aging them up to a teen (this might've been an issue before but i didn’t notice it until they became teens), their faces and bodies change after going through a loading screen (quitting or traveling). Their jaws move as far up as possible, their ears and eyes get smaller, their waist, legs and shoulders go as far in as possible.. It’s ONLY my teens as i've edited another teen (plus have an adult in the household) and no issues.. Ive repaired my game, updated mods, tried saving them to the gallery/re putting them in my game, resetting them, turned mods off and had the same issue, NOTHING is working! Not sure if maybe its a glitch having to do with them being Grims kids..? added before and after pics to see the difference.. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to fit old report.
