Voidcritter's Battle Station Not Working «123...Next Go

nicole414r

I just bought the new kids stuff pack and I have been dying to play with the new Voidcritters Battle Station, my kids can easily buy booster packs and open them in the inventory but when I select my kid sims to "Train Voidcritter..." the interaction just cancels and the kid doesn't do anything. The same thing happens when I try to "Battle Against..", this is honestly really annoying because I was excited to see my kids play and train these Voidcritters but they can't Wanted to know if anyone else is having this issue?

Hello.
Do you have cc/mods in your game? If you do, move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and test to see if the issue is still there. If it has helped with the issue, put your mods/ CC back into the newly generated mods folder that is in the sims 4 folder one by one or in batches and testing after each one to see which is the causes of the problem.

If the issue remains, try selling the battle station then buying another one and see if that helps the issue.

Unfortunately this did not resolve my problem.. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

Try moving the Battle Station item to another position in the room and see if that helps.

Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then copy the "options.ini" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder.

I'm having the same problem. I've also tried all the suggestions but the battle station is dead. Does not work. The kid has no reaction to it whatsoever. No CC, and no mods installed.

Hello.
I am sorry that you are having this issue.
I am just checking that you are playing a child sim.
Try starting a new save game to test if the issue occurs in that new save game as well.

I'm having the same issue. I've tried all the above mentioned with no luck. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

Hello.
I am just checking for those having issues, when you click " train voidcritter ..." does the option come up for your sim to choose which Voidecritter to train?
Have you opened up the booster packs to see what the cards are?

syntheticbliss

I have opened the cards and can see them when I choose train voidcritter.

Hello @syntheticbliss
When you choose a voidcritter from the menu to train, does nothing happen after that?

It isn't something as simple as not having paid the bills on your home lot? The Battle station will only work if there is electricity on the lot (i.e. no unpaid bills).

For me, when I select "Train Voidcritter..." it allows me to choose the voidcritter but once I choose the Voidcritter nothing happens, the kid sim goes into a T-Pose and just stands next to the battle station.

Hello
Did you try doing the suggestions that I posted in this post? If you didn't, try doing those things and see if it helps.

Make sure that there is clear space around the battle station, and not near a wall.

Also, try starting a new save game and test to see if the same thing occurs in that game also.

syntheticbliss

The electricity is on. I've also tried all of the above suggestions. I have the same issue, let me give more info:
I can select it just fine the first time, choose the card and go up to it.
My sim kids sit at the station for a moment, then like the other poster here the sim does the T pose, and the action cancels.
Interestingly, sim kids can not select it again after the glitch until I restart the game.

Do you have the same issue in a fresh save game, new gameplay folder, mod-free? If so, have you done a Repair Game in Origin?

Hello @syntheticbliss .
Have you tried testing in another home and did the same thing occur ?
Did you try testing with another household?
Does the same thing occur in a new save game?

If you have any LastException files in your /Sims4 folder from the timeframe of the error, those may help. Not LastCrash (those are EA), but the LE files are usually helpful in pointing out what's snagged.

Hello @alelore.
When you click on the battle station, does no menu come up to either train or battle?
Have you sold the battle station and bought another one?
Does the same thing occur with other households in your game in different homes?
Try testing by starting a new fresh save game and see if the same issue occurs in that save game also.

Hello,@alelore
I am glad that the battle station is working okay now
Your child sims can also find the cards in logs, trash cans and get them through trading with other kids.
This link guide may help you.

No worries, you're not the only one. I knew there was cards but expected there to be at least something on the station when clicking on it. It feels like a bug.

A greyed option saying, you need to buy a card first would have been nice and less confusing

Hi everybody,

I've got the same problem. My girls have a card each, enough space, I tried without mods and with another household. And I can only choose the command once. After that I have to sell and buy another Battle Station and the problem starts again.

Thank you rosemow! Repairing the game didn't work.
I created a new Sims 4 folder, as you suggested and then it worked, but as soon as I copied the files you mentioned back into the folder, again nothing. Now I took out my Mods folder and it seems to be a problem with a download. Guess I have to put them back in subfolder after subfolder. Let's see. Really annoying, since that pack isn't really worth the trouble. Sorry to say so, but's that how I feel!
