Ohhh kind of sad they haven’t fixed the insect farms yet. They’re pretty much unusable if you have more than one because of how many times you have to nurture them to make them continue growing. (I actually caused one of my sims to starve to death just trying to get 6 insect farms to healthy at the same time without any of them dying LMAO it’s near impossible.)

I thought that was me forgetting they were there.I was like didn’t I just nurture you. I thought I could have my sim run her store during the day at like 10am but by the time she was finally done with only two bug houses it was already 1pm so she didn’t get back from her store til after 9pm and then had to take care of her needs in the meantime. I got rid of them long story short. But I just read someone recommended a mod so I’ll try that.

Wish they’d look into the disappearing items bug that I’ve discovered. Bills are completely paid and there’s no repo man, and the sharing initiative isn’t active. Randomly my furniture just disappears from my house and is never to be seen again

That’s the recycle disciple trait not a bug. If you haven’t recycled recently then your sim swipes their own stuff and recycles it for bits and pieces.

My Sim doesn’t have the recycle disciple trait and things in my house keep disappearing. Counters, cat food bowls, my laptops, and other items just *poof*. I don’t like to play with cheats, but I had to enable cheats so that I could get money to re-purchase items that keep disappearing multiple times a day.

Exact same thing is happening to me- desperately looking for a solution. The chess table and chairs, bookshelf, counter, etc etc randomly disappear during gameplay. No kleptos, no visitors and my family is witches, doesn’t go into inventories just…gone. Have to cheat money to keep my house working :’(

I thought that was a whole bug on it’s own!! So glad I read this. I kept getting the notification that my sim successfully swiped something despite not having the klepto trait and no item being in the inventory. It took me ages to fabricate a sofa and I just realised it was gone!

I’ve heard that Sims with the Freegan trait will recycle random furniture if you don’t let them rummage through trash regularly. I myself have had issues with decor going missing and thought that might be the reason. Not 100% sure though.

Same here! I actually noticed today that my sim’s nanny appeared to be coming in and stealing the dining table and chairs. I think it has something to do with the voted upon community project thingy that was geared towards stealing. I can’t figure out how to get it back though, I’ve had to buy a table 3 times

Has there been any answer for the ‘clay’ issue. I have it, too. No matter how many times I sell them, they reappear & the sim plays with them autonomously. Also, that same sim keeps randomly pulling out this HUGE tablet that I’ve never seen before & scribbling like he’s checking off tasks. AND all my sims seem to randomly be autonomous although autonomy is off. What’s up with this? Any feedback?

Amy Roberson

My whole game legit broke. Sims hair and clothes would just randomly disappear, and the sims would glitch out just doing everyday take like using the computer or interacting with other sims. The sims would do that “I can’t go there interaction” when I told them to go sit somewhere that they should quite clearly be able to sit at. I thought it might’ve been mccommand center (it’s the only mod I have in my game) so I tried running it without mcc and it still had all of the bugs. Why did it do this??? Everything ran so well before.

I’ve tried to turn my console and game on and Off again (By pressing quit) multiple times and even tried manually attempting to update from the settings but it continues to say “queued”. I REALLY can’t afford to lose the game entirely because of this. I don’t know what to do and I’m becoming very anxious. If anyone could help, please do.

Is anyone else getting the glitch that causes your Sims to not eat? I’ll have them make something or get out leftovers, they’ll take it and sit down then the interaction just cancels. It takes 4-5 times of me dragging the food back to the fridge and starting the action again before they will actually eat it. It’s very frustrating.

My sims were getting on my damn nerves yesterday. I was playing the Pleasant view family (re-made versions) and all they did was bake wedding cake. Bloody wedding cake!!! This was all over the house, mixing bowls and cake ingredients everywhere. They did their usual crap like go to work and wicked whim all over the place lol but whenever it’s time to cook a meal the bloody mixing bowl came out and a wedding cake was made…..annoying!!!! Then I moved Lilith out to go live with Dirk and guess what her first frigging meal was that she cooked?? I’m going to kill her if it continues LOOOL. It’s only her and the rest of the Pleasant family that do this. If this continues I’m going to drown the whole effing family. Point is this didn’t happen before the update but like I said it’s only THIS household. Apart from that everything else works just fine.

Sorry for the rant lol

Happy Simming!!!
