Sim getting moodlets from a trait they don't have.
For the longest time, a lot of my sims in multiple different saves that are in a relationship with each other will get moodlets from a trait they don't have and never had. Specifically the "Smothered" moodlet from the Noncommittal trait. Most of the time I'll use the UI Cheats mod to get rid of the moodlet, but it always ends up coming back. It gets to a point and whatever is causing it should be fixed eventually. I don't believe it could be one of my mods, especially considering I keep them up to date and I've been having this issue for months. I'm not sure if it's just me, but it's likely other people have had this issue too.
Severe lag after 1 hour of gameplay : requires restart
Hi, I'm experiencing a major performance issue that seems to affect a lot of players (I asked my community and many confirmed having the same problem). When I first launch the game, everything runs smoothly. Menus like Needs, Inventory, and Aspirations open instantly. Build/Buy mode is fine too, with maybe a tiny freeze the first time, but that’s normal. The issue is: the longer I play, the worse the game performs. - After around 30 minutes, the menus start to feel a bit slower. - After about an hour, the game becomes extremely laggy: - Opening the Needs panel takes a few seconds. - Build/Buy mode freezes for 5–6 seconds before opening. - The Eyedropper tool has a delay of around 2 seconds. - UI and general interactions become very sluggish. The only fix is to completely restart the game. After relaunching, everything is smooth again — but only temporarily. After another 30–60 minutes, the problem comes back. This isn’t a hardware issue. My PC setup: - Intel Core i9-12900K - 64 GB DDR5 RAM - NVIDIA RTX 4090 - Game installed on SSD - No mods, no CC - All expansion packs installed I also tend to play fast-paced, usually on speed 3. In one hour of real-time gameplay, I can go through 10–14 Sim days. It seems like the game is slowly filling up memory or cache that never clears unless I restart. It would be great to know if this has already been reported or tracked by the dev team, because it makes long play sessions really frustrating. Thanks!

When I open Play with Genetics for the first time inside of CAS it shows "create a... Ok" and three options for "wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" for a very brief moment before showing the correct UI. Once I do Play with Genetics after opening the menu again in the same session of CAS, it shows the UI correctly with no brief view of the image below. It really isn't that big of a bug but when it happens every single time when ever you reload CAS and open Play with Genetics, it gets annoying to see really fast. This is with version 1.116.202.1030, I've seen it since I believe the patch for Life and Death. I expect to see the UI load without showing this buggy UI.

BB ITEM: Crystalline Waterfall Shower WHAT HAPPENS: Click on Shower > Woohoo with [Sim] or Try for Baby with [Sim] WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN: No option to Woohoo, Woohoo should be disabled on open-showers (like [IL] In or Out? - Outdoor Shower) MISC INFO: Xbox Series X, all packs & pre-order content installed. Version 2.19.4.2310 Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to better reflect the issue.
'Ask About Day' named as 'Check in on' (no GRO)
I first noticed this bug when one of my sims rolled a Want to ask his partner about their day and despite checking every Friendly sub-category multiple times the interaction just wasn't there. I even restarted the console and still nothing. "Ask about Day" is also one of those interactions that appear all the time in the Non-Traditional Social Menu and it never appeared there either. This bug seems to be a console-specific, if not even just a PS4-specific, issue as I've never had this issue on PC and continue not to to this day. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title
[GRO] [IL] Top of career Milestones not unlocked for the fisherman diver careers
Hello everyone, I have a problem with my sims milestones for two part time jobs only: The fisherman job and the diver job. Indeed, the milestones for reaching the top of career doesn't unlock at all for them. My sim unlocked all the other part time jobs milestones: Fast food, baby sitter, lifeguard, barista, manual labour, retail employee (all of them unlocked a milestone each once my sim reached the top). But I don't know why for fisherman and for diver, it seems to not work at all. I don't play with any mod and I already repaired the game, clear cash. I'll try with another sim first to see if it's this particular sim that is corrupted but I don't understand it cause he still manage to get all the other milestones
[DU] No Diploma/Graduation Portrait/Milestones with two graduates
Playing a household of Foxbury students in the campus housing, in total I have 2/5 with their physical diplomas and 3/5 with the milestone. I’ve seen that you can try to repeat the graduation ceremony for the pictures but I don’t know of anything that can create a missing diploma or milestone. Everyone else that’s has this issue has just been freaking out bc it wasn’t 6pm yet but it’s been weeks in my save file, I got the notifications for all of them and they just.. weren’t in their inventories. I couldn’t check household inventory because apparently student housing doesn’t have one and then they were kicked out of student housing bc they graduated so i’m not sure how to go forward. I was able to replicate this issue both in the same save and a fresh one with all mods removed as I did use many DU-related mods in the first playthrough, then I individually tested my modded degrees as it’s totally fair that those may not generate physical diplomas but no dice, issue persisted. They have 100% graduated, they have it in the degree section of the simology panel, their profiles, and they got the career boosts, which is great, I mainly just want the physical diploma to put up on the wall :( Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title
