      I've got many of the problems you have and:
      - "get leftovers" sometimes makes my sim just carry the food to the table and not eat it.
      - you cannot use the sell tables on the market, you have to carry your own.
      - eco footprint resets back to neutral in one day.
      - basil bush shows as a seed not a bush when it's not harvestable yet.

      Best thing to do is file a Bug report then reinstall the game. Since you no Mods a clean start might help. Goodluck.

      Not sure if it's a glitch or not, my sim couldn't upgrade with eco upgrade parts either, I eventually realized her Fabricate skill level wasn't high enough

      I thought maybe that was the issue. I tried a test spot with a maxed all skills sim (manually typing ugh), and upgrade parts from build/buy menu. My whole save went corrupt. I'm trying again. My work around right now is to use Fab machine only on community maker space. The other things on my list are ongoing. If you all have any workarounds, please let the community know! <3

      About the items disappearing, my sim dug out coconuts and a pineapple from the dumpster in port promise, they stayed in the inventory until she stepped onto her lot and they just vanished from her inventory. I was going to plant them too.

      I have no workarounds, but so many glitches, unfortunately!

      - Can't edit balcony on Pinecrest 404 apartment (even though game changers showed that you can)
      - Can't edit community spaces in other neighbourhoods than the one my sim lives in.
      - Neighbours and friends just steppes right into the apartment in the middle of the night, my sim hasnt invited them or anything.
      - Vampires just show up outside my door even though I've put the "not allow vampires function" on the door
      - Glitches when my sims go somewhere, they just disapear and comes back again
      - The dog just disapear and leaves and somehow is in other locations than my sim


      Can't remeber it all right now but soooo many glitches and bugs since the last update and EP.

      ECO PARTS cannot be used. These came from fabricator (hope pic shows).

      Hmmmm I can upgrade with eco parts pretty easily. What I’ve learned is when it says one eco part is needed it means one more. So if you have three and it says you need one build one more and it should be able to upgrade. That is beyond not clear in the game but I figured this out through playing. Hope this helps.

      You're correct. When you need parts it shows only the one you need. When you have all the parts it shows the exact quantity required. Thank you.

      I'm not entirely sure if my report is in the correct area. Thank you though. <3

      These three things happening to me too. Random strangers walking into the house bothers me more than anything. It shouldn't happen.

      There are a lot of bugs, that's for sure. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for a patch.

      Cannot click eco footprint icon, clock, weather, or date- I had this problem briefly. Not sure what fixed it.

      Items disappear at random-If you mean the items on the lot, that's from sims with the recycler trait or Sharing is Caring NAP.

      Plants do not grow when calendar is broken- The calendar breaks?

      Sims cannot gather water, even when they are at 0 units of water-Luckily, I haven't had this problem. Not all bodies of water are gatherable, though.

      Outdoor trash cans fill to overflowing with no way to empty them.

      - Sims randomly disappear and then reappear.
      - At around 3 AM on fast speed the clock will get stuck.
      - Sims will not sit on couch to watch movies.
      - Movies seem to just play forever now.
      - Restaurant menus do not appear when editing a restaurant. Can no longer edit the menu.
      - Community Garden plants don't mature (or become harvestable) unless you basically live on the lot.
      - Fizzy Juicer randomly gets stuck fizzing sometimes so that it is permanently unusable.
      - Outdoor trashcans overflow and can't be emptied.
      - Certain outdoor trashcans that get knocked over cannot be picked up.

      I'm sure I experienced a few other bugs over the weekend...but these are the ones I can remember right now.

      I downloaded and installed this Expansion and it more or less destroyed my game. Saves take up to 4-5 minutes to load, from individual households to just loading into the game. Can no longer bulldoze lots...I am extremely disappointed with the oh so many many bugs this update and pack has supposedly introduced to the game. I am strongly considering not buying any more sims 4 packs after this.

      @yagwit - The restaurants still seem to be functioning fine when you are playing with them - it is only the editing of the menus (or just viewing them) that seems to be a problem in my game. I just get a white box with nothing in it when I go to view and edit the menu.

      Anyone else having issues with invites? I’ll be invited to another sims home or something and I’ll click yes and nothing happens.

      Hi. I can no longer use any of my computers. If I click on a computer my game pauses and will not resume live play, it stays paused!

      Steelman, I am getting the same thing with the computers. I am on Xbox One, and it even kicks me out to the Xbox Home screen after a while. Once it cleared up briefly until a Sim used a computer then it happened again when they used it again.

      I can't invite more than one sim. Normally, and for as long as I can remember, the limit is set at either 7 or 8

      Neither the fabrication skill nor the juice fizzing skill count towards the Skill Improvement on the New Skill Day holiday (Seasons).
      Never forgive, always forget.

      Same with forming groups using the 'Action' interaction. It's supposed to let you choose multiple sims, now I can only choose one at a time.
