    Fireworks are bugged and are throwing a Last Exception if you have Cottage Living and City Living, the fairs don't have the right attribute that the game is looking for when you try to use them. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-CL-Unable-to-light-fireworks/m-p/10583650

    Simvasion have posted a fix for this one.

    Sorry, but that is sad that an third party can jump on the problem right away and fix it.

    Yeah well...that's game development...simvasion doesn't have to work on other stuff in the game too. Still, I hope that we will see a lot of bug fixes this month because I don't want to wait several months for some of these fixes.

    Game development that has gone wrong for me, looking at EA/Maxis track record in which they fix little, I would not hold my breath on them fixing a lot.

    Help! I changed my pub into a retail space and now the Finchwick fair has disappeared entirely. I repeat the Finchwick Fair is gone! Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

    I occasionally lose llamas when trying to take them to the fair for judging. It's happened to me twice. I had a beautiful beige llama (Taffy), fully maxed in its relationship with all my sims, very happy, and having recently been feed a rainbow treat, and had my sim take it, along with some rainbow wool, to the fair. On arriving at the fair, the rainbow wool was still in my sim's inventory, but there was no sign of the llama.

    I quickly switched back to my sim's spouse on the farm, but there was no sign of the missing llama there either (or in the household inventory). It had completely vanished. I ended up buying a new llama (Marshmallow), feeding it another rainbow treat that I had saved, and spamming socials at it throughout the fair, and it still somehow managed to win first place. But I was really sad to lose Taffy, who was friends with my entire family, and it remains a mystery as to why this happened in my game, the second time I have lost a llama this way.

    By the way, I have never lost cows or chickens or oversized crops or normal crops or pies this way, only llamas.

    @Mikki_Maat That looks like the problem with City Living. If you have a retail store owned by one of your Sims in the fashion district the Love Festival that is supposed to take place there does not.

    No strange mushrooms ever appear in Bramblewood for me, I even spent 3 days there waiting...

    Sad bunny face.

    The wild mushrooms have totally disappeared from HoB in all of my saves. Really bummed. I feel your sadness.

    In my house, dog hair sticks to everything but the dog.

    @Mikki_Maat The only thing to do is to sell the retail store to the game or to make do without the festival :/

    I'm finding produce in my household inventory now. I think it is after a fair visit. so annoying to remove but was wondering if anyone else is finding this. I know there was a post a few days back about it but I haven't been able to track it down so far. Plus its late here and my eyes and my mind is getting fuzzy. LOL I did test after leaving lot and exiting game etc etc but produce was staying in Sims inventory as normal and then I visit a fair, come home and my household inventory is full again.

    Not just after visiting the fair... I experience this same glitch randomly after harvesting my sims garden. In this save file I've been playing for over a week now, I don't dare touch the new world so my sims don't attend fairs. I avoid it because it's breaking every save file of mine that touches the new world. I spent a few days going over every mod I had, pulling out ones without updates, updating those I could, on top of clearing all mods/CC + cache with the same results. (New game folder too) The best you can do is hit the Me too button on the AHQ threads for these bugs. :/

    After reading all your posts and the bug reports at the Help Center I feel this EP is not safe: 40 bucks for risking my 4 years save is too much, specially with the Boated saves bug. It is time for me to skip buying my second EP (GF was the first because it was not my cup of tea and was an invasive gameplay... I will skip CoL because of the low quality of the pack).

    :/

    I'm also having problems with lag and sims teleporting. Having problems with my sim taking forever to even start a commanded task. Clicking on the Fridge takes forever for the menu to show up. Also, I'm having issues with the sound skipping and repeating. It's very annoying. I just did the sims 4 update a little while ago and I really hope it fixes all the issues that I've had and that I've seen on this thread.
    Happy Simming!! :)

    Yeah, the lag is awful in HoB. I can't even play in that world, because 30 minutes on a lot there slows my entire computer to a crawl and messes it up for the next few days. Other worlds and bigger lots seem fine, but that little town is cursed for me.

    @Mikki_Maat - have you tried adding a pub back to the neighborhood? I removed my pub and built a new one somewhere else and I still have the fair.

    I haven't read through the thread, but does anyone have issues with the easter eggs during easter? My sims only find actual eggs. Chicken eggs. Funny enough it's always a chocolate egg or a rainbow egg. But I want the old decor eggs :'(

    I think it's best for you to wait.

    Okay, I apologize for not reading through the whole thread to see if this has already been posted.

    If you have the glitch where a chick won't age up, try moving it into your household inventory and then back out. The two times I've had that, the chick has then aged up in a sim day or two. And I know they were glitched because chicks hatched after the glitched chick were already aged up.

    Thank you for the info! I had 2 chicks that after several sim weeks, the chicks did not age up. I checked the animal aging and it was NOT disabled. I saw this post and tried it. I added the 2 chicks into my household inventory and within seconds, one of the chicks aged up. (still waiting on the other one) Thanks again!

    The fishing spot on top of the mountain by the waterfall is bugged, I get the "handwave can't do anything" 100% of the time if I try to fish with bait, and about 75% of the time fishing without a bait. NPC sims that just walk up to it can fish, and if I make Fishing a Club option and let the Sim do it herself, it works.

    The only bug I have that seems to have come with CoL is now occasionally my sims get caught up in weeding loops - often weeding the same area over and over again until I catch it because the weeds stay put instead of going away when weeded. I also have the gardening bug, but I've already been into that bug with saves et al. The weeding loop thing is new, and didn't start until I downloaded CoL. Full disclosure though, I did download DHD and a kit or two at the same time.

    Does anyone know if they fixed the lag yet?
