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. Edit by crinrict: Adjusted title to make more general Update: Hey all, The team is aware of and investigating this issue as we speak and we hope to have a fix for this released soon, please keep an eye out for any further updates in this thread. - EA_Cade41KViews2215likes640Comments

Photos/Paintings turning black/blank (after 1.102.190/1.82)
Please use the following threads if you still have issues. Black Photos (Patch 1.119.109) | EA Forums - 12878373 Paintings go white after putting them in inventory/Reloading game (1.119.109) | EA Forums - 12879032 My pictures are black after I load back into my game on console. 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.47KViews1559likes574Comments
Sims standing around instead of taking care of infant/toddler
Whenever I play with infants, I end up having a very unpleasant experience because they're so problematic. When I ask my Sims to perform an action with infants, they not only stand there for hours, but they also repeatedly take the infants out of their cribs and put them on the floor. This bug is quite old and has never been fixed, and I've noticed that several players are experiencing the same issue! Edit by crinrict: Adjusted title Note by crinrict: There are currently many infant threads. This issue is about Sims standing around and not performing actions with Sims. This issue is tracked here and nothing else. There's already other threads. Please pick the ones that fit your issue best to vote Sim keeps putting infant down before putting them in crib et al. Parents keep taking infants out of crib for no reason (Patch 1.116) Check baby interrupts all attempts to care for baby The game doesn't work properly when there is an infant in the household (Performance) Note from EA_Solaire: We fixed a notable instance of Sims standing around and not caring for their infants. While holding Infants, Sims were playing an idle animation that delayed responsiveness to queued interactions. This idle was removed. We hope to further address additional Infant issues in future updates. (Base Game)9KViews1544likes89Comments
No Pregnancy test to take & other pregnancy issues
So My sim is ready for a baby. But after they tried... when I wanted to see if she actually got pregnant or not. No options for any tests. I don't use any mods or cc... Did the general sims shop ran out of pregnancy test? did they all spoil befor the new shipment arrived? On a smallbuissnes/resedention lot or how it's spelled.69KViews1402likes326Comments
Sabotage interaction falsely available
Hi team! My sim is showing the Sabotage! interaction on multiple items despite not having any moodlets, holidays or traits related to it. This is a vanilla save created yesterday. Please advise, thanks for the help! Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title12KViews1358likes161CommentsStrangers in your conversation
Is it not possible to DRASTICALLY reduce how much strangers come up to you to talk and partake in your current conversations uninvited? You end up with a relationship panel crowded by strangers even though you never indroduced yourself and if you are flirting everything will get awkward and fail and there is no way of getting people out of your conversations.4.7KViews1103likes56Comments
Mixologist behind bar, but not tending it, unavailable for orders
Since the latest patch (Feb/2025), I’ve noticed mixologists aren’t readily interactable in community lots like bars and clubs. The bug seems to work like this: go to a community lot with a bar there’s a mixologist in the lot as you arrive try to order food or a drink the mixologist won’t fulfill your order, and will either stay behind the bar performing tricks or get into a conversation with townies and sit on barstools (if available) In the end, the result is that the mixologist won’t be available to take orders, despite being flagged as a service Sim (with their function in red font above their name). After a few Sim-hours, the bugged mixologist might get a thought balloon with the bar inside and resume their function correctly, but more often than not they’ll stay stuck in the 5/6 step above. The thought balloon might appear several times in a minute, without the mixologist resuming tending the bar and being available for orders. A workaround for this is to use resetSim on the mixologist if they get stuck in 5/6; doing so will reset all the Sims around the bar — understandable if the mixologist on step 6, but it also happens in 5. Occasionally the mixologist will be present, but unavailable as you arrive on the lot and stay that way until either you use resetSim or their shift ends, in which case a new mixologist will arrive and correctly tend to the bar and take orders.10KViews1050likes135Comments
[BH] Hobby-White board vanished and can‘t be placed (Script Call Failed)
Hello! Since the latest update the hobby-whiteboard from „hobby and business“ is vanished in every household (played and unplayed) and can‘t be replaced. I play on PS5. 🙁 Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title20KViews1043likes295Comments
[GRO] Random Milestone Moodlets
Both adult sims have milestone moodlets, but have never experienced those milestones. One has the Sting of Rejection (from Recalling a Milestone), the other has Hated and Sad About It and Bladder Blunder. I've checked both of their Milestone panels, and neither have milestones associated with these moodlets. I have also never seen these moodlets pop-up for either of them until today after updating the game. Edit By Crinrict: Added pack tag to title.8.6KViews987likes159Comments
