      There’s a huge bug from this patch where sims are aging and dying faster..

      You probably have a mod like MCCC that (has been patched) to block the current aging bug.

      I have noticed hunger needs are dropping very fast now though also. I have full autonomy on, so my Sims will drop what they are doing and go eat. So no starvation yet.

      i have an issue where if i play some families then certain sims will no longer eat , they go to the fridge , get the food and just drop it on the floor , if i then click it the food just cancels from the queue , my witch sims cannot even drink the potion either to fill up all their needs

      Supposidly it seems like the Slice of Life mod is causing Sims to drop dead from hunger a little more than should be.

      I'd try checking out that and any other big script mod just incase they're causing your Sims to take a hunger strike.

      Not since the Sims2! :open_mouth: But I have seen my Sims at home walking around hungry — sometimes in the red, too. They may even grab something to eat, but put it aside to talk to the Toddler! While I don't want to see the Toddler neglected, it's like the instructions given aboard an airplane. You put the mask on yourself, first, then you're better able to help your neighbor!

      I had this same problem @julienrob2004 It turned out it was some outdated (CC) beds in the game. I spent all day looking for the problem. I took out any mod that pertained to food or cooking and in the end, turns out to be BEDS?! :smiley:

      I was using the simple living lot trait, and then the game mentioned that a random townie was starving. It's a nasty bug, and I don't have MCC.

      That's fascinating. Do we know which beds they were?

      All CC beds except toddler beds should be considered broken. They are very buggy. Some creators have already updated their beds. Those are safe to redownload.

      I don't have any mods, and I haven't had any particular hunger issues since the patch, but I finally played some over the weekend (I was worried about even opening the game last week), and all of my sims are crazy filthy, all the time. They will take a shower, get the hygiene bar to full green, and then one sims hour later, they're completely dirty again. They're not working out or doing anything particularly grungy; it happens even when they are doing things like sitting on the couch reading, sitting at a table doing homework, or using the computer.

      Exhaustion has been a bit more of a problem, too, though perhaps not quite so much as hygiene. Again, while engaging in activities that are not at all strenuous.

      oh boy. that's a drag, i've got cc beds in almost all of my residential builds.
      well, i guess once i go through the whole half and half mod debacle i'll see what's up :/

      man, i have the opposite problem! one of my households is a bunch of adults and One Singular toddler and yet, i am constantly having to cheat the toddler's needs up because i turn around and either hunger or sleep is in the red! and i'm pretty sure i've set all her aunts and uncles etc as additional caregivers. and like, they'll do other things with her! i'll catch them autonomously playing with her or talking to her or teaching her words with flash cards or whatever. it's bonkers.
      that kid is definitely getting aged up soon

      Good news! There is now a batch fix available on Sims 4 Studio.

      I haven't been able to check it out yet, but do you know off the top of your head if this works with merged files or not?

      I'm not sure. I only have the unmerged files.

      @JaiSea I used the batch fix in S4S last night and it does seem to go into merged files to fix beds. A few of my merged files were listed as fixed in the log. However, since I'm not opening my game until I'm sure that all the major game bugs are taken care of by EA, I haven't tested the batch fix in game yet.

      This has happened to every Sim I've created since the latest patch. They all die of starvation within 24 hours or less.
      Troubleshooting steps I've taken:

      - I do not have the Slice of Life mod mentioned.
      - All my CC beds have been batch fixed in S4Studio.
      - I cleared the local thumb cache before launching the game.
      - I tried playing in a save with custom content/mods turned off; same problem.

      How is this situation going for everyone? Has a workaround been found? Is it happening to everyone? I am too scared to update my game!

      No hunger strikes going on in my game since the patch! I'll assume it should be better if major mods like Slice Of Life have been updated for this patch.

      Could be the game purging to keep the world population down. I have unlimited but the game still try to find ways to get rid of sims after awhile.

      The starvation is happening with my sims too... Everything was fine until I updated my game (I don't have the High School pack though). Two of my household sims died of starvation within the same day and none had their hunger bars at red (in fact, they were still green). Does anyone know if anything is going to be done about this? I do have Slice of Life and some CC but it wasn't presenting any sort of an issue pre-update. I was going to remove SOL but I'm wondering if it's even worth it since @leebird_simmer doesn't have it and still has the same issue =/. Not sure what to do at this point.

      Sorry to hear of all the sims dying of starvation of all things.(?) The only mod discussed above was MCC and its the only one I have installed. My game is free of starving sims. (Let me knock on wood.) This is horrible.

      Bug report here
      https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Sims-Dying-of-Starvation-in-One-Day/td-p/11671845/highlight/true

      Some people found that removing Slice of Life mod fixed it for them.
      (Or perhaps the mod creator has updated it by now?)
