- Patchy the scarecrow changes to his default colour when he hops off his perch (intentional?) - Patchy's perch was reduced to ash by lighting, but he keeps showing up - Flower Bunny started with high friendship level, even when we hadn't socialised before (intentional?) - Sims going outside to mop in the pouring rain - Sims taking food outside to eat when it's raining, even if tables inside are nearer AND available - NPC Sims not changing into their winter gear and freezing to death as they shovel snow piles - Thunder is extremely loud for me - maybe if we could control the volume for weather-specific sounds?

I'm having the same problem! It's so annoying because part of the problem is a sim will go to a two-person bed that already has a sim in it and either they can't go to bed because they are not close enough to the other sim, or they wake up the other sim. It's also annoying that they seem to randomly pick the bed farthest from them so it takes forever for anyone to go to bed cause they are walking all the way across the room.
Its not really a glitch but still stupid the scouts activity for ur teens/ children takes over the teens being able to have a job so there job than becomes being a scout and they dont get paid the cooked part is that if you select a job as i did not knowing u cant do both it erases all of ur progress in the scouts and u have to start from the beginning again :angry:
I can burn leaf piles on my lot, but I cannot burn the leaf piles around my lot where the no edit zone is. The option is available and I can set it aflame, but the fire just goes out after a little bit and the pile is still there.
Placing wallpaper in build mode is still unbearably laggy even after today’s patch. Anyone else?
I, thankfully, have no issues with lag in build mode in this save.
I noticed the other night in a different save ( a much older one) that I had troubles placing furniture because of lag. But not so in this save. Is yours an old save? If so, how old?

No, started it when seasons came out. I checked my version and it’s not matching what nick said the current was? I don’t know maybe the patch didn’t install correctly? I’m not sure what to do. Repairing the game now, hopefully that works.
"water all" only counts as watering one plant making 'water or weed plants 10 times' in the botanist aspiration more of a pain. I'm not sure if glitch or oversight.
I think it's always been like that for Gardening. You have to use the command on 10 different plants. A pain, but not unique to Seasons or the Gardening revamp.

Are you changing wallpaper though? The lag is when trying to add wallpaper, not while using build mode itself. I’ve gotten lag while using the wallpaper as well but have yet to check after today’s patch.
Repaired the game and the correct version is showing now. Still unbelievably laggy placing wallpapers. I’ll live, I just hope it’s fixed soon. I’m just not sure why so many people seem fixed but not me

yea it could be the mods maybe try turning them off too and see if it works it should work in that town
I'm having many of the issues the others haven mentioned.
Mainly the objects in the house constantly breaking, even when fully upgraded (this happened after update and seasons)
Dryer not drying clothes
Sims just stopping a current task and walking away - it takes like 6 tries to get someone to cook a meal and then my toddlers are starving and angry
Pets were super needy/crying and constantly fighting with each other after update and seasons. I attempted to put one up for adoption but the adoption person stayed on my lot for many sim days and I could not save my game or leave my lot. I eventually had to use the CAS cheat and just delete the pets from the family.
Twins birthdays are on the calendar on different days! I can't figure out how to edit that or how to add the rest of the household's birthdays on the calendar.
No trick or treaters, not one kid knocked on the door.
Hygiene is always low for all my sims in the house, even after a bath or shower, an hour later their hygiene is low.
Well, like every major update, we're all finding a few glitches with our Sim friends. I know that EA and the SimGurus have publicly mentioned a few that they are aware of, like plants duplicating themselves, but there are many others.
These are the one's I've seen in my game so far, with rotational play of four households totaling about twelve sims and several animals.
"Very Playful" mood buff on Sims in Spring(?) from "Warm Clothes" from the Dryer, seems to override other buffs and makes getting Sims in the right mood for work almost impossible.
"Disturb Bees" interaction being selected by Playful Sims far too often. The interaction doesn't seem to appear in the Sim's action queue until they actually get to the Bee Box, making it almost impossible to cancel - the only way I can tell what my Sims is up to is he's heading down the garden towards the Bee Box with nothing showing up in his action queue. Also, it seems at odds with traits like "Good" - would a Good sim suddenly decide to disturb the bees for no reason? It's more suited to an Evil interaction.
The Umbrella Dance. Going out in the rain, put the umbrella up. Take two steps, put the umbrella down. Two steps, umbrella up, two steps, umbrella down... Seems to be random, but if the Sim is walking a long distance it seems to happen more, perhaps related to them trying to jog?
Sims suddenly farting - really EA, is this supposed to be funny? Sims that never farted before the Seasons patch now seem to be breaking wind at every opportunity.
Leaf Piles hanging around in all seasons, rotting. Even in summer, piles of rotting leaves.
Also, the sheer number of fallen leaves in Autumn seems excessive. My Sims are planning to cut down all the trees on their lot!
"Rake Leaves" action seems to be bugged, or just very persistent. It seems to come back into the action queue even after it's been cancelled or the Sim instructed to do something else. As an example, a Sims is instructed to Rake Leaves and then told to use the toilet. After using the toilet, they will immediately return to the Rake Leaves action.
"Light Fire" autonomous action fails on fireplaces with the "Autolight" upgrade and can cause the Sim to hunt through the house for a fire to light. As an example, the Sim comes into Room A with "Light Fire" queued, but the fireplace autolights. The Sim's queued action fails, but immediately queues for the fireplace in Room B. As the Sim leaves Room A, the fireplace goes out, and the fireplace in Room B lights as they enter so the queued action fails again. The action queues up again, targeting the original fireplace in Room A and the whole sequence repeats, leaving the Sim going between rooms trying to find a fireplace they can light.
Exercise doesn't mitigate low temperature - jogging sims can freeze in winter when the exercise should be keeping them warm. Maybe Sims that are doing activities to build Fitness skill should be immune to cold, whatever outfit they are wearing? So Jogging, using exercise equipment, swimming, etc should help to keep the Sim warm and not turn into a Popsicle.
Joggers are freezing to death - a lot. There are piles of corpses in the streets...
"Chain Reaction" deaths - a Sim freezes to death and everybody runs outside to "See What's Happening" in their PJ's and then someone else freezes, and... More piles of frozen corpses. Somebody get Grimm an assistant, he's gonna need one! My body count of NPC's on Winterfest was 6, if anyone cares.
Swimwear is not counted as "Hot Weather" clothing?! I had a Sim nearly die of heat stroke wearing a skimpy pair of Speedos. As soon as he put on jeans and a t-shirt, his temperature came right down. Swimwear should be the ultimate hot weather gear.
Sims not changing outfits when the go outside in the cold or heat. This seems to be random, sometimes they change into cold/hot weather outfits and sometimes they don't. Who knows why Sims do what they do - or don't? If this was fixed so Sims always changed outfits for the cold, it would stop the Chain Reaction Deaths bug as well.
And on the same topic, Sims not changing out of cold weather gear when they come in to the nice warm house. I have Sims eating dinner in their bobble hats and mittens!
Sims seem to route-fail more often than before, and I've seen several instances when Sims teleport from one object to another or animations play out of sequence. In one example, the Sim is clearing the table. He teleports to the far side of the kitchen, while the dishwasher, on the other side of the room, opens and closes as if it's being loaded. The Sim then walks to the dishwasher and performs his part of the loading animation, then teleports back to the table where he started. The table is cleared and the dishwasher running, but the animation and routing is wrong. Another example was a Sim stroking his cat. He was one onside of the room doing the stroking animation while the cat was at least 3 tiles away but doing her "being stroked" animation - it was quite strange.
That's my experience of problems in Seasons, based on my gameplay so far. I'm sure other people have found other... oddities while playing. Hopefully Maxis is taking note of all these reports and we can expect a big Season bug-bash patch soon.
UPDATE
OK, so adding on to this list, problems that other people have mentioned (I'm not listing any that @SimGuruNick has already acknowledged in his Twitter posts as the team are already working on those, like cheats not working)
Pets seems to have become very needy - multiple pet interactions pushing to the top of the Sims action queue and blocking other actions
Toddlers can cancel out of the "Build Snowpal" action in public spaces.
Seed Packets not unlocking for Sims with level 10 Gardening before the patch
Sun Spot Awning both collects snow and lets it fall through - is it shelter or not?
Guests invited for New Years Eve parties will not stay for the countdown
Guests not changing into Party clothes
Winter clothes being worn inside
Lots of notifications about the deaths of random Sims
Confetti poppers and party horns seem very loud
Objects seem break a lot more often than before
Phone calls for dates and parties in the very early morning (3am)
Thermostats not working when placed on community lots
Actions disappear for the queue and the Sims suddenly does something different
"Play in Puddle" animation not working - Sims seem to freeze
Sims randomly freezing and needing to be reset with the debug cheat - much more common with Seasons installed than it was before
UPDATE 2
Gnomes not showing up for holidays - maybe they got an invite to a better party?
Objects just seem to stop working - cat litter tray, storage is empty but cat won't use it or a pet won't eat from a full bowl that they've used before. Items have to be deleted in Buy mode and replaced.
Moving rooms doesn't move all the objects/windows/doors in the room
Spiced plants no longer say what plants they have spliced into them
UPDATE 3
Sims remaining in their work uniforms when they should change. For example, a cop comes back from work and is offered a massage by her husband. After the massage is over, she spins back into her work clothes, not a casual outfit as they did before.
This can even happen where a Sim gets out of bed and immediately changes into a work outfit, ie cop. It's almost as if the game has chosen the work uniform as "default" clothes
Sims are using the umbrella in the house!! That is so much bad luck
Male gardeners in the Botanist career branch (Stem Researcher level) seem to have decided to accessorise their uniform with some really killer silver kitten-heeled sandals. Bang on-trend for this year but hard on the feet for an eight-hour shift.
Sims are bed-hopping. They can't seem to remember which bed in the house is theirs and just choose one at random.
Lights or decorations missing from sections of the roof eaves
The "Lilacs & Lanterns" oak tree has no animations for wind - it doesn't sway in the wind like the normal Oak tree. It also doesn't loose it's leaves in the Fall, staying green all year round.
Wind Chimes don't. Chime. In the wind, that is. They just play their normal animation loop no matter how hard the wind is blowing.
You can add when a sim ask another sim to swing the sim who ask freezes while standing up. This has happened to me twice.
Also I have noticed that when you want to use a skill cheat they don't work anymore, I think all the other ones work, but the skill cheats don't work at all.
THIS is my biggest pet peeve too since adding Seasons! I ALWAYS give my Sims a lot of Cooking, Logic, Handiness and other important skills before allowing them to navigate in their world. Now, the skills cheat is broken so that I can't play in my routine style. Huge FAIL!
Skills cheat is now fixed in the emergency patch that just released.
Finally the calendar works! But I'm still experiencing a lot of glitches listed here!
- Piles of leaves all year around, they don't disappear even if you burn them
- Sims wearing their cold outfits inside houses that are warm
- Sims doing the umbrella dance all the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 time
- Very needy pets
- Lots and lots of blue sims freezing to death because they are jogging in light clothes
- Sims wear their work outfit aaaaall the time
- Sims are sad all the time because of deaths of people they barely knew
and much much more, I hope they pay attention to this thread and fix all these bugs
when i go on a date i get seated it lets me order and everything but when i select the sim i want to talk to it says wait to be seated and won let me discuss meals etc
Comments
- Patchy's perch was reduced to ash by lighting, but he keeps showing up
- Flower Bunny started with high friendship level, even when we hadn't socialised before (intentional?)
- Sims going outside to mop in the pouring rain
- Sims taking food outside to eat when it's raining, even if tables inside are nearer AND available
- NPC Sims not changing into their winter gear and freezing to death as they shovel snow piles
- Thunder is extremely loud for me - maybe if we could control the volume for weather-specific sounds?

> >@cnicole if you have seasons have you tried the weather machine

it should change on it own but for the first three days mine didnt change it took a while maybe give the weather machine ago it may kick it in to drive what town are u in ?
Might seem like a dumb question have u gone into you game option and selected season and turned snow and rain on ?
> >@cnicole
