Weird Waterslide Glitch :-(

siennaSTAR · July 2016

Every time my Sim tries to use the water slide, she glitches out and comes to a complete halt halfway through, flattens like a pancake (isn't visible from the side at all), and then poofs to the end. She still gets the moodlet but the sliding animation is really messed up. Am I the only one with this problem?

I have no idea if this will work, but did you try deleting and then buying it again?

Pics or it didn't happen

In my game it works correctly. Mods/CC?

rosemow · July 2016

Hello
Does your sim have a low fitness skill level? Sims are better at sliding as their fitness skill increases.
If the animation though seems to be wrong, try selling the slide and buying a new one and see if that helps the issue.
If the issue remains, and you have cc/mods in your game, move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and test to see if the issues are still there.

Do you have any mods? If so move the mods folder to your desktop.

I think I want to see pics of it too. Anyways tagging @SimGuruNick @SimGuruArvin @SimQARobo about the bug.

Could you please add your voice here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/Animation-Error-with-Slide/td-p/5451485/ (the thread has a video)

Also post your specs

What speed did you play on ?

meepweep · July 2016

I just put a video on youtube to share over here -- it's happening to me too

https://youtube.com/watch?v=HreNWE144fk&feature=youtu.be

I played on normal speed and this happened every time anyone went on the slide

keylimepiesims · July 2016

Happening in my game as well.

crinrict · July 2016

Do you guys have graphics cards or chip ? Could you post your basic specs ?

siennaSTAR · July 2016

Hey sorry I'm mobile so I can't post my specs but I have an i7 processor and no mods other than skin replacement. I play on speed 1 as well. I believe the graphics card is the Intel 520. I hope that helps? I'm not really a techie.

siennaSTAR · July 2016

Deleting and buying didn't work. Also I'm not using laptop mode (though I'm on one) and my graphics are set to high.

crinrict · July 2016

Intel 520 sounds like a chip. So this might be an issue with graphics chips.

Thanks for the info

meepweep · July 2016

My processor is 2,4 GHz intel core i5, graphics is intel HD graphics 3000 384 mb. I play on a late 2011 macbook pro in laptop mode

catloverplayer · July 2016

If it s a bug in hope an emergency patch is released.

siennaSTAR · July 2016

Me too. It basically renders the feature I paid for useless.

At least I bought BS for the other things and the slide was just a bonus.

blueturtleotter · July 2016

Well done Maxis. As always stellar work.

crinrict · July 2016

Could you try playing around with your graphics option ? Turn laptop mode on, change to lower or higher, ...

VentusMatt · July 2016

I'm having the same issue, not sure if it's a graphics issue or just a plain random bug but I have a Intel Pentium CPU G2020 @ 2.9GHz and an Intel HD Graphics 2500. Not a beast but it works good. My graphic settings are Sims-Very High, Objects-High, Lighting-Medium, Reflections-Low-, Effects-Medium, Edge Smoothing-Low, 3D Scene Resolution-Low, View Distance-High, Uncompressed Sim Textures-On, Post Processing Effects-Off, Laptop Mode-Off.

Just to add I removed all my mods before even installing the pack and ran a repair on my game after installing just in case.

KeyserFn · July 2016

I have no mods and it does this I know it's not my computer so it has to be a glitch

SimmerSophie96 · July 2016

Same thing happening with me, and i was really excited to get my sims onto the water slide

KeyserFn · July 2016

I didn't pay 9.99 or whatever for a game that has glitches especially on an item that they claimed to be one of the number one things in the pack #annoyed

Colton147147 · July 2016

What is everyone's graphics cards?

It is looking like those with only a integrated card is affected.

If you do not know your GPU, you'll need to provide a DxDiag.

Instead of copying the DxDiag into multiple posts onto the thread, use Pastebin instead.

Once copied your DxDiag onto Pastebin, link your paste.

I can't be the only one noticing the Intel graphics pattern...

Do you have a chip or a graphics card or both ?
