Sims sinking into the ground

alanmichael1

When Sims enter the Karaoke bar in the Fashion Quarter in San Myshuno, they briefly sink into the floor. I hope this is not a sign of a general stairs/foundation bug.

Hello
Do you have a basket ball hoop on the lot? Does your sim have the active trait? These can cause this issue.

No, this is different from the "basketball water hole". When entering the Karaoke Bar, all Sims briefly step down an invisible stair and sink into the ground up to the knee. This is new to me, but I had problems with this specific bar entrance before - Sims were always flickering when standing near the door.

Try saving the karaoke bar to your library. Then bulldoze the lot, and place the version from your library onto the lot. Then test to see if the issue remains.

I noticed this on the acrade machine. They stand right at a stick and when I tell them to play abit they sink into the floor like they fell into the pool for a few seconds.

Hello
The issue that you are having may be caused by a basketball hoop on the lot. Try removing the basketball hop if it is on the lot, and see if that helps.

I dont think so. As long as it only happens at the arcade machine for a few seconds without causing issues, I rather leave the little fun I have left in my game.

Another Simmer has already started an EA Help Thread about the problem. It obviously has something to do with stairs in general:
