Hi, @Rubysim. This is a personal bug list of problems I've discovered in my own game. You're welcome to post here, but I do not have Get Together yet, so your issue won't be added to the original list. I see that @Ceejay402 and @Rosemow are looking at your report, but if you feel you need additional help, you may want to start another thread. I'm sorry you're experiencing problems in your game.

This is normal.
When you knock at a door, the house becomes visible. When you're asked to leave, the house won't show properly. It behaves the same as before.
You'd then need to knock on the door to be able to come in again.
The house acts like you never knocked on the door, which is correct.

Its not normal because my sims are not visiting this house, they live there and they are kicking out guests. I have found that my sims visiting another lot and going back home fixes the problem but it is the inappropriate behaviour that is causing it! Its the Renegades Club!

hi @Rubysim i tried replicating the problem and couldnt get any action by guest to be deemed inappropriate i did use my own club. ill set up a test using the renegades.
I updated #47, the invisible plate problem. It seems like it might be another case of overpowered multi-tasking.
I have (at least on one lot) been able to reproduce the error consistently by having the Sim eat any dish and then asking him or her to write any type of song on the piano. This particular error seems reliably reproducible (at least on the one lot I tried it on). Asking them to practice did not reproduce the error. I have not tried other instruments or other lots yet.
Added more information to #47, Sims eating off of invisible plates.
There seems to be another manifestation of this bug from what I originally reported. Sometimes Sims will get up, leaving their plates behind to continue working at and eating off of the keyboard.
ive had eating off the keyboard many times the sims plate is sitting on a open space on the desk. i discovered if i use MOO and place things touching on the space for the computer it doesnt registered it as occupied. a test to confirm is to move the desk to a wide open space with nothing on it and see if the sims stops eat there. if so its something on the desk or near it with a wide footprint. i typically live with this since i use tons of clutter.
not rendering a plate in your case i guess could be a graphic glitch or bug
The plate is sitting on the dining room table with food disappearing from it as she eats here too.
For the Novelest Novelist level of the Bestselling Author aspiration, "submit book copy to literary digest" does not fulfill the requirement to "publish 10 books".
Steps you took for Issue to occur
1. Selected Bestselling Author aspiration.
2. Had Sim write book.
3. Clicked on mailbox.
4. Selected "submit book copy to literary digest".
Performing a comedy routine by clicking on the rocket ship and selecting "perform routine in space" does not fulfill the level 4 requirement of "perform 3 comedy routines" in the Joke Star aspiration.
Steps you took for Issue to occur
1. Had Sim join entertainment career.
2. Had Sim work way up to level 9 of career.
3. Selected Joke Star aspiration (when Sim was on level 4).
4. Clicked on rocket ship and selected "perform routine in space".
Occurring since
I'm not sure, possibly game launch when I reported that performing the comedy routine in space did not fulfill the daily task requirement. At the time, that Sim had already fulfilled the aspiration requirement, so I didn't check on that then.
At levels 6 through 10 of the Comedian career, there is a daily task requirement to "write/perform routine". Performing a routine by selecting "practice a comedy routine" from the microphone options does not fulfill this daily task requirement.
I do not think this is intended as selecting "practice a comedy routine" does fulfill the Joke Star aspiration goal of "perform 3 comedy routines".
Steps you took for Issue to occur
1. Had Sim join Entertainer career.
2. Had Sim work up to level 6 and select Comedian track of career.
3. Clicked on microphone and selected "practice a comedy routine".
I'm not sure how to explain this clearly. Clicking on a build mode subcategory with limited items (such as Rocks under the category Outdoor Plants) , selecting any other category (such as Fountains), and then returning to the first category (Outdoor Plants in this example) causes the menu to stay contracted.
Steps you took for Issue to occur
There are multiple paths to this outcome. I can't record them all, but here are a few:
1. OUTDOOR PLANTS > rocks > FOUNTAINS > OUTDOOR PLANTS > any category under OUTDOOR PLANTS
2. WALL PATTERNS > brick and stone > DOORS > WALL PATTERNS > any category under WALL PATTERNS
3. WINDOWS > tall windows > STAIRS > WINDOWS > any category under WINDOWS
Many more combinations lead to this contracted menu state.

Where does the bug occur ?
Have only seen it on home lots.
My Sim stopped being able to cook any dish requiring 'spinach' or 'any vegetable' despite having spinach in the inventory. When I instruct him to cook the dish, it simply never appears in his queue. Other dishes seem to be OK.
I tried dragging and dropping a second spinach from another Sim's inventory into his inventory, but it just 'disappeared'. She no longer had any spinach in her inventory and he still had only one spinach.
I also tried removing the spinach from his inventory and placing it on the counter. He still was unable to prepare dishes with spinach.
Other Sims in the household (none of whom had spinach anymore) were able to cook dishes requiring spinach.
Steps you took for Issue to occur
1. Selected Sim.
2. Clicked on refrigerator and selected 'Cook' or 'Cook Gourmet Meal'.
3. Selected 'Omelet', 'Spinach Frittata', or 'Vegetable Tempura' from list of options.
Update: The problem seems to happen when the Sim has items from the starter seed packets in the inventory, but not actual produce. I was able to reproduce this error by:
1. Using up all the spinach in my Sim's inventory.
2. Clicking on a plant box and purchasing another 'starter vegetable' seed packet.
3. Opening seed packet.
4. Clicking on the refrigerator and selecting 'chicken saltimbocca' and choosing any size.
Where does the bug occur ?
Have only seen it happen to this particular Sim on this lot.
Same Sim on same lot can't make "superfood salad" with pomegranate, other Sims on the lot can.
There seems to be 'hidden' produce somewhere.
I indicated before that when he had this problem with the spinach, Derrick's inventory only showed 1 bunch of spinach, but when he came back from work his inventory showed 3 and he could cook spinach dishes again.
This time Derrick's inventory showed 11 pomegranates. I went to try another Sim (Nina), but she didn't have any pomegranates, so I moved one of Derrick's pomegranates to her inventory. That worked. Then I moved all of Derrick's pomegranates into Nina's inventory to see if he could cook without the pomegranates. He could, but Nina wound up with 12 pomegranates somehow.

Connections Reward Overwpowerd by Last Employment Level.
The "connections" aspiration reward is supposed to guarantee Sims start at a higher career level:
This is not always the case. If a Sim has never joined a career before, he or she will start at level 4 (which poses another problem, see Renaissance aspiration failure). But, if a Sim has already worked in a field and then quits or finds another job, he or she will join one career level lower than when he or she quit the career. This arrangement makes some sense if a Sim has achieved a high career level (5-10), but for lower career levels it actually renders the "connection" reward useless.
For example, my Sim in the video below worked her way up to level two of the Painter career. Then she switched jobs and switched back. She now starts at level 1 of the Painter career despite having the "connections" reward.
Steps you took for Issue to occur
1. Had Sim work to level 2 of the Painter career.
2. Had Sim quit job.
3. Had Sim use the phone to "find job" and selected the Painter track again.
I didn't notice anything about being unable to resume books in your list, so I thought I'd bring it to your attention.
When a sim is trying to write a book and breaks off and tries to resume, then the sim has start over. I have seen it in both vanilla and modded games. Work round is to push through and write the book in one setting. It may work next time, it may not.
Thanks, @ModerateOsprey, I haven't seen this though. I've been able to resume books all along. I just tried it with a Sim and it worked fine. Maybe it's only with certain genres of books?
Writing music was a problem early on, but that was fixed in a patch.
Edit: Ahh, I see. They can't be resumed if you travel before resuming. I haven't tried that recently.
Duh, I meant to quote that thread..seems the sim's amnesia is catching
Another quick one...some time ago in a patch, they set the relationship panel to be sorted by default to the last sim a sim interacted with. This no longer works in All category.
Have you checked this recently? Unless, I'm misunderstanding you, it seems to work for me. Maybe the issue is tied to a pack I don't have?

In rare instances, dragging and dropping produce into the refrigerator causes the Freelance Botanist aspiration window to pop-up and make noise as if the aspiration were being fulfilled.
Update: I got this again with a different Sim on the same lot who has the Freelance Botanist pop-up when she is asked to cook dishes. Switching aspirations and switching back cleared the error this time.
Steps you took for Issue to occur
1. Dragged and drop various produce items into the refrigerator.
This only happened a couple of times, so I did not test different refrigerator models, etc.
There is a requirement for Dinner Parties to have 3 Sims listen to music at the same time. This does not seem to register for getting Sims to listen to the piano.
Steps you took for Issue to occur
1. Had Sim use phone to plan a dinner party.
2. After guests had eaten, selected "piper" > "carol of cleaning".
Outcome: Event goal did not register.
1. Had Sim use phone to plan a dinner party.
2. After guests had eaten, selected "jazz up the place".
Outcome: Event goal did not register (and Sim kept playing music long after the audio had stopped, see #79 -- audio/visual mismatch).
There are numerous, small text errors in the game. The biggest error is the lack of consistency across the game. For example, sometimes you choose to use serial commas and sometimes you don’t, sometimes it’s décor and other times it’s decor, sometimes keywords are capitalized and sometimes not. In many cases, either way is acceptable, but please decide as a group what the convention you will follow will be and stick with it.
I know some of these errors may seem small, and it may seem like many people won’t notice them, but often, even if people don’t notice them on a conscious level, they do notice them on an unconscious one and it creates a general feeling of displeasure.
Bluebells is misspelled under the grafting options. It should be one word:
All spliced plants have an extra “and” in the list of combined plants:
For the mushroom, “feast off” should be “feast on” (Google Ngram). Actually, it should be, "With ribbed underbellies and fleshy tops, mushrooms feast on decay":
For spliced plants, some are listed in their singular forms and others in their plural forms. Please pick one and be consistent:
Singular: strawberry, bluebell, dragonfruit [sic], snapdragon, plantain, apple, pear, banana, pomegranate, lemon, tulip, death flower, orchid, cherry, basil, parsley, sage, bird of paradise, lily, trash fruit, blackberry, spinach, and chrysanthemum.
Plural: grapes, bonsai buds, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, and onions.
Dragon fruit is two words, not one:
Inconsistent capitalization on seed packet descriptions. Example:
Missing punctuation on television channel description:
Extra space in gardening book description:
Extraneous comma after “hard” in Guitar Vol 1:
Example of serial comma being used in one case and not used in another:
Extra space after the hyphen in “sleep-runner”:
“Crash down about” should be “crash down around” (Google Ngram):
Extra comma after “theme” in Improptu Impromptu description:
The description of Wellness Vol 1 is missing a hyphen in “well-being” (Google Ngram):
The word “gaudi” should be “gaudy” or “Gaudí”:
Missing comma between “bold” and “stylish”:
Missing comma between “practical” and “wooden”:
“Collectibles” with an “i” is the preferred form over “collectables” (Google Ngram):
”Duffle” should be spelled “duffel” (Google Ngram):
It should be “salvage parts”, not “salvage into parts” (Google Ngram):
The portion sizes for fish tacos are reversed. Possibly, the price is also incorrect since it costs the same to make a 4 person plate as an 8 person plate.

Routing Issue -- Sitting After Playing Instruments, Before Putting Away Food
Some of my Sims sit down after being told to put away food or to play an instrument.
Steps you took for issue to occur
1. Clicked on any plate of food sitting out in the open.
2. Selected "put away".
OR
1. Clicked on violin or guitar. (Sims are seated already while playing the piano, so this is harder to see with them although it may still be happening.)
2. Selected any action -- "strum/bow for inspiration", "practice", "write jingle", etc.
3. Quit action or let it run to completion.
Sim sitting after playing instruments (extended). Seating occurs @0:37 and @0:53 I did note in one test that if I did not queue any actions afterward, the Sims still sat down after playing instruments, so it's tied to the instrument playing animation rather than the transition between actions.

Steps you took for Issue to occur
1. Had Sim use phone to plan a dinner party.
2. After guests had eaten, selected "piper" > "carol of cleaning".
Outcome: Event goal did not register.

There are numerous, small text errors in the game. The biggest error is the lack of consistency across the game. For example, sometimes you choose to use serial commas and sometimes you don’t, sometimes it’s décor and other times it’s decor, sometimes keywords are capitalized and sometimes not. In many cases, either way is acceptable, but please decide as a group what the convention you will follow will be and stick with it.
I know some of these errors may seem small, and it may seem like many people won’t notice them, but often, even if people don’t notice them on a conscious level, they do notice them on an unconscious one and it creates a general feeling of displeasure.
Singular: strawberry, bluebell, dragonfruit [sic], snapdragon, plantain, apple, pear, banana, pomegranate, lemon, tulip, death flower, orchid, cherry, basil, parsley, sage, bird of paradise, lily, trash fruit, blackberry, spinach, and chrysanthemum.
Plural: grapes, bonsai buds, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, and onions.

Issue
Routing Issue -- Sitting After Playing Instruments, Before Putting Away Food
Some of my Sims sit down after being told to put away food or to play an instrument.
Steps you took for issue to occur
1. Clicked on any plate of food sitting out in the open.
2. Selected "put away".
OR
1. Clicked on violin or guitar. (Sims are seated already while playing the piano, so this is harder to see with them although it may still be happening.)
2. Selected any action -- "strum/bow for inspiration", "practice", "write jingle", etc.
3. Quit action or let it run to completion.

Sim sitting before putting away plate:
Sim sitting after playing instruments (extended). Seating occurs @0:37 and @0:53 I did note in one test that if I did not queue any actions afterward, the Sims still sat down after playing instruments, so it's tied to the instrument playing animation rather than the transition between actions.
But, this does not happen with all Sims. Note that the wife does not experience this:
