Bug tracking My Wedding Stories

mightysprite · March 2022

Answers HQ does a much better job at this than I will, I'm sure, but I thought it might be useful to have a thread here for forum users wanting to keep track of all the MWS bugs in one place. I am following all of these on Answers HQ and will update this OP as those bugs are updated.
(I really want the new world but don't want to buy the pack when it's this buggy so I care about this...)

Please post replies with other MWS bugs, WITH a link to their thread on Answers HQ, and I'll add them to the OP here.
If they don't yet have a thread on Answers HQ please create one and post the link. That site is how EA gathers info on what bugs exist and how many people are affected. You can vent here if you like but it won't affect EA's decisions unless you also post or "Me Too" over there.
If you think a "Minor Bug" ought to be "Major" then go to Answers HQ and click "Me Too". Eventually it will get to be over 20 people and make it into the Major category.

**Major bugs-- affecting more than 20 people**

- Basegame wedding interactions including "Call Off the Wedding" are missing with MWS installed https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-MWS-Call-Off-the-Wedding-interaction-missing/m-p/11318464/highlight/true#M208214 <- See the fix described in the link here by 83bienchen, thank you

- Tea sets disappear when leaving the lot

--- If you have this bug, please send saves to SimQARobo using the instructions in the thread so EA can work on it!
--- According to EA_Cade, this is being worked on, but they haven't been able to replicate the issue yet.
--- Workaround from Stormkeep: Keep using the tea set every day or two, seems to keep it "fresh".

**Minor bugs-- affecting fewer than 20 people**

**Fixed Bugs, plus answers about Annoying Issues that are actually due to game design, mods, other**

EA_Cade · March 2022

Hiya,

These threads inevitably derail into players posting their own bugs instead of posting on Answers HQ where we have a QA presence to help catalogue and track these issues, so I've locked this thread before that starts.

You can still edit your thread with updates should you choose to, but others won't be able to comment on this post.

Looks like locking threads isn't working as intended at the moment, while this is being investigated I've reopened this thread so it can be edited.

Please keep the thread on topic, bug reports don't belong here, they belong on AHQ in their dedicated threads.

Ik cade said the thread can get derailed so I get why it's better to lock it but also I think this thread is a good idea because many ppl will just post their bugs on the forums or just on Twitter and not report it on answers hq so I like reminding ppl to go there and click "me too" on bugs that they have.

(and yes @kaiwrysims, one of my hopes for this thread is that forum traffic will be directed over there to the very useful HQ/QA system)

I recall seeing something on the forums about how you have to click on the bouquet itself, or perhaps on the sim themself, to specify walking down the aisle with/without the bouquet. Feel free to share info if you know the answer to this one, preferably on the Answers HQ thread.

83bienchen · March 2022

Thank you for this thread. I've just shared my info on how to solve some of these issues in the linked Answers HQ thread.

mightysprite · March 2022

Wow thanks for taking the time @83bienchen not just to write mods to fix this, but to write out what you did in a number of different posts. I am sure many will appreciate it.

I have updated the OP with notes for the fixes you provided.

I have also moved "Sims dance in the aisle" to the Fixed/Annoying list since from your examination of the tuning it appears to be by design.

mightysprite · March 2022

Added workaround for "Sims can't get married at City Hall" thanks to the OP at AHQ.

Thank you @Stormkeep in another thread for testing slow dance in different configurations. The end result: slow dance requires 4x4 open tiles in order to work consistently and sims should be on that spot before being given the slow dance command.

Spousal Kiss animation got a lot more "Me Toos" and moved to Major Bugs section. Happy to see this one on the Laundry List.

Minor Bugs section is now inside a spoiler as there are a lot, and some of them still only have 1-3 people affected.

kaiwrysims · March 2022

I have a suggestion. Currently it's hard to read because each bug report isn't seperate enough so it might be helpful to put a "-" or a "•" at the beginning of each. Like this:

- "name of bug" "link"
- "name of bug" "link"

I don't know if that makes any sense.

mightysprite · March 2022

@kaiwrysims Good idea. I added line breaks as well.

Stormkeep · March 2022

Another bug you might want to list is the disappearing tea set bug. I've now had it happen 5 different times, on various lot types, and in every state the tea set can be in.

I made a bug report here. Another user made a similiar report here, but I think they were being too specific and it's more pervasive than what their report indicates.

Other users have confirmed experiencing the same thing in this thread.

While their working to fix the bugs with this kiss they need to make it to where married and engaged sims can do it at anytime after the wedding they want to. It's only tied to weddings.

That's clearly by design, though.

I created this post at AHQ: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/MWS-Strange-smoke-at-roof-of-Thebe-Estate-in-Tartosa/m-p/11325489#M208513

I'm posting here hoping that some kind simmers will check the Thebe Estate lot in Tartosa and see if they have smoke rising from just one chimney with no fire in the fireplace. The smoke remains even when the chimney is moved or deleted. It is similar to smoke seen rising from the dummy buildings in the town.

An important issue if you do test it: make sure you see smoke rising from the town debug buildings. It isn't always there, but when the town buildings have smoke, this lot has smoke.

You can see the smoke while on other lots and panning to the Thebe Estate. You can see it if you visit the lot. You can see it when you play the lot, in live or build/buy mode. I don't see it when I got into build/buy from the map view.

The builder of this lot said in a video for the build that she added a bunch of live edit items to her build and was told to delete them. I think something got left behind and no matter what I do the smoke remains.

I have bulldozed the lot and terrain, replaced the lot with another lot, nothing gets rid of the smoke. It happens in new saves and old ones.

I appreciate anyone who takes the time to check this out. Thank you!
