Hi Crin,
For the most part, my game is going ok, except for the few annoying glitches that I have already reported and a few more that I have noticed.
I also have the issue with the umbrellas.
I can no longer harvest from the Omni Plant. I'm not sure if it is because of all the gift boxes that are now in my inventory or if it has something to do with the gardening station. Since removing the gatherer trait, I have had no problems with gardening at all until now. I have tried deleting the plant and planting new seeds, but that does not work. It matures, I can feed it, but I can not harvest from it.
Also, my maids now change back into their every day clothes before leaving my house when they are done. I have two that come a male and a female. They both do the same thing. This has happened in Summer, so they are not changing into their Outdoor clothes. So far it is happening in Summer and Fall. My seasons are set to change every 28 days, so I have only played in those two seasons so far.
I am not sure if this is a glitch, but now that it is fall it has been quite cold sometimes and my Sims do no change into their outdoor clothing when going outside. They also swim and play with water toys even when there is frost everywhere and the temp is 31 degrees. I did purchase the LTR immune to cold and immune to heat rewards and I think that this may be why this is happening.
I am playing a vanilla game, no mods and only CC from the EA Store. I have the DVD and play in Moonlight Falls. I have all EP's and stuff packs except for Diesel, and Katy Perry Sweet Stuff.
Thanks again for all of your help and all the time and effort you put into this thread, you are terrific and it is greatly appreciated.
P.S. I didn't recognize you at first, but I like the new look
EA really needs to look into the crashing issues all of us are having over in the Mac section, we are feeling ignored and desperatly trying to find fixes for our game.
Also many of us mac users are experiencing issues with the Seasons Disc itself not being detected by certain Apple Macs. Is there new copy protection software conflicting with the firmware?

I created a brand new sim who is a firefighter. If it's raining AND she has an umbrella, she is unable to approach the fire engine for maintenance. She is able to fix the fire engine any other time. Some issue with the umbrella, I think, rather than the rain itself.
Also possibly related to another report for "excessive rain", if the sim is exposed to the rain for even a second without the umbrella (taking it out or putting it away) they receive the "soaked" moodlet. It just seems a touch odd that the action of using/putting away the umbrella would be enough to cause this moodlet. Not really a bug as such, possibly just a quirk, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
These are bugs I found while playing with a vanilla game before I put my mods in yesterday:
1) Maids are acting bizarre. She will come over and clean the home but right before it's time to leave she changes into whats supposed to be swimwear (jeans and a bandeau top) and go swimming for no reason everytime she comes over. By the way, I've never seen the outfit she is wearing in CAS when she goes swimming. I can't get her to stop doing this. When I click on her, it only says "stop doing this," but when I click it, nothing happens. When she is not swimming, I can't have my sims interact with her at all unless she initiates conversation by herself.
2) When I pause my game, save and exit... it's unpaused the next time I load the game.
3) I just wanted to say the age reset bug is still up and running... It happens with tattoos, makeovers, and plastic surgery which is such a pain. I wish they would fix it already, this has been going on far to long.

So, I'm having an issue with the Chem Lab Table. I only ever get the option to "Discover Potion" but regardless of how many sim hours (and real time hours) I have them try, they never discover any. I have tried deleting it and buying it again. Moving my sims in and out. And, I have tried sims of all ages, and sims with all different logic points.
I DID review your generations tab but the issue wasn't there. I came across a thread that mentioned something similar but the issue was with vampire's alone. I have tried it with fairy's and humans and it's a no-go.
Note: I did not have this issue when only Generations was installed. Subsequently, I installed all the remaining EPs/SPs since then at the same time so I don't know which EP/SP that the issue began with.
ALSO;
I found a rainbow gem and mailed it to the wellness place and they said everything was all good and I just needed to bring $4500 to them to get her imaginary friend to become real...
But, regardless of which hour of the day I click on the bloom institute of wellness building, the option to bring it there does not work. (Usually the option is highlighted in yellow). Also, the active quest tells me that I need to bring the $4500 to them, but won't let me click anything. I don't know what to do.

___________________
I have every EP/SP and some store content.
All of my games are added to DEP, otherwise it crashes. I've cleared my caches as well.
I have a few pieces of cc, but I removed them and the issue was still happening. No mods.
@xVee: Sounds familiar. It might be reported in the SN thread. Did you check there ? The IF issue was definitely reported in the SN bug thread. Is it a double or single rabbithole ? If it's a double, try replacing with two single one.
I reported it but an answer wasn't posted. Yes, I believe it is a double-rabbit hole. I'll have to figure out a way to split them up since I don't know how. I checked the library but the Bloom Building is the only Science building in Moonlight Falls.
If I somehow replace the building, will that also fix the chem-lab table? No biggy if it doesn't since it's easier just to get the rainbow gem + $4500, but I was curious.
I will let you know if it works so the fix can be posted for anyone else that comes across the same issue.
Replacing the building(s) worked. Thank you very much. Now I can get those imaginary friends back.
My memory capture button has dissapeared since installing Seasons. One of my friends said hers moved to a different area on the panel. Mines completely gone though.
My sims wont go to bed, take a shower, or go to work. This started happening when i entered spring. I cant even save the game or get them out of the house to put them back it. And my female sims disappear but are still selectable.

@Ladyceres: Well they seem to put away there umbrellas for other interactions, so I'm putting on the bug list rather than the annoyance list.

I have previously written: "ever since i downloaded seasons, my sims dissappear when traveling. no picture nothing. i have tried deleting the travelDB.package, and unistalling world adventure and reinstalling it again." I have tried the link you have posted and nothing is working i even tried the switching to an Egyptian house hold coming home but then my sim i took on vacation was completely missing .
I do have a few others issues as well and i'm seeing that they are pretty common. The leaves never disappear after they fall, Family member's a calling asking for dates, my married sims show they are married under relationships, but where it says they have partner and when asked about partner they have none. every sim day my sims receive at least 30 gifts that are bribes for dates. in the mail, and i can't seem to get rid of the omni plant. These as i can see are very common issues, i do have a few more but i was just wondering are most of these going to be fixed in the next patch? Also are the going to make it so supernatural sims can skate?

The car and limo build up bug is worse than ever now. The amount of cars created and left abandoned (or inventories) in the game is going up by thousands. The limos build up in background as well. If you use overwatch to check the extra cars created in a day, the number is in the thousands and builds up over time creating a game full of stutter and lag. I play without mods but use overwatch to check for issues every now and then. It typcially will find 30-50 cars to remove from those left on lots and in inventories. With the latest patch and Seasons it is finding several thousand. I can't imagine how people with average computers make it more than a few days in the game without it coming to a halt because of 3000-4000 cars and limos left in background and memory.
I patched my supernatural to 1.42 and.... in CAS I can choose traits, but Lifetime Wish is missing. I get gray hearts instead of the gold emblems, and if I click any of the slots where the choices should be I get a blank list.
I can't move anybody into a house or lot without getting the map view with no controls.
Also when I try to play a premade, I get stuck at the map view with no controls and no way to zoom in.

I had to add a no limos mod to help, but now, in a larger city (simskey's Paris), it's going back up again to it still picking up 6000 a day. The new overwatch quietly clears them hourly, but the longer I play, the worse this is getting.
BTW, in two days, even with overwatch before no limos mod by Nonanema, I had nearly 40,000
3. I thought I read somewhere that after installing Seasons the ice cream van would not show up at your house every day anymore, for hours on end, but annoyingly it still does.
- I thought they said it will not show up anymore at 3 in the morning. Does yours never leave ?
Sorry for the late reply (have been having trouble getting on the forum and website), I checked, and you're right, the ice cream van doesn't appear at night anymore, only during the day, and it leaves after a few hours (stays at my house from 3pm-5pm). Still not happy with this , but as that is how they probably intended it to be, it's not a bug.
This may have been posted elsewheres in the thread, but the "propose marriage", "have private wedding" are no longer there, and the wedding arches are no longer working since I patched up. I have run the game with no mods, and no custom content and still have the same problem. I finally had to get the Master Controller and force marry my couple. Other than that, the game runs fine.
1. Are you using any Custom Content or mods ? Yes, I have both CC and several mods (Mostly Nraas) 2. If you are using mods, are you using any of the 'big ones' like Awesome Mod or Twallan’s mods Yes I use Twallan's mods. 3. If you're not using mod, did you never use them or did you take them out for the EP (as you are supposed to do) I took them out when patching and installing, and only put back in updated versions. I also cleaned the cache files. 4. Did you update the mods you put back with a compatible version ? Yes, and I have continued to check the Nraas website to make sure I have the very latest versions of the mods. 5. Do you have Seasons or just the Patch ? Seasons 6. Which Patch Level are you at ? 1.42 7. Did you start a new game or are you playing an existing ones ? New game 8. Did you transfer an existing Sim over or are they new/Pre-Made ? New Sims 9.

Do you have the download or DVD Version of the game. Download from Origin
I have a sim couple that I created after installing Seasons that are both witches. The male witch has maxed the skating skill out but when I click on the ice rink, the option to spin wasn't there at all. My sister has a save file on my computer and her sims were able to spin so it isn't a game-wide issue.
Knowing that other supernaturals can't actually skate but instead do their special run on the rink, I suspected the inability to spin might be related to his supernatural status. I used MC to change him to a human and now he can spin. Not sure if witches being unable to spin is intentional or not.
I haven't tested without mods but I can do so if you think I should.
I have Register, ErrorTrap, Traveler, Master Controller, Hybrid, Overwatch, and MC Cheats.
I posted this on Nraas' chatterbox as well and another person has said they are having the same issue.
I'd also like to point out that the Sims can AUTONOMOUSLY spin but I can't direct them to do so.
@ACEANDLADY: I don't have any other solutions than the ones listed. Sorry.
I have no info on the patch. I don't work for EA and they never give out ETA arrival but most probably only very few things will be patched as always. Since the SN thing is a feature, they are not going to patch that.
@Rubysim: You have two city halls ? No idea if that causes an issue. Only way to find out is to delete one and see if the issue persists
@Rickatl, reinmag: Yeah. Saw that Twallan said the Limo bug was back (again!). Not sure what to do about it. I can't make the people use OW.
@catalina_45: Could you elaborate for others what the cause was ?
@7frog7frog7: An existing issue. Only solution I have for this is putting Overwatch in.
@Corwim: Well, there are a few features we don't like but EA is not going to do anything about it so the only solution is a mod (yeah, I know)
@franklear1980: Do you have seasons ? What does no longer working mean ? Please also answer the questions in the second post.
Thanks for this thread, and I really hope you manage to fix some of these.
I had an issue which I didn't see when I read through the list, except as maybe "sims get stuck very easily now". Not sure if it's the same issue, but when I que sims to interact with each other (doesn't matter which interaction), they have a very hard time going through with it. They just stand there at opposite sides of the room without moving towards each other or doing anything at all. They don't shout in frustration or cancel the action. They just stand there, with the interaction waiting...
The only way I can get sims to interact normally is if I get them really close together before giving them an interaction. They have to already be in range for the actions to trigger.
Note that there isn't anything in the way; it can be a completely empty space between them.
--- While I have mods (Twallans) installed, I moved them out of the mods folder, deleted my cashes and started a new game to make absolutely sure that they are not the cause. I also did not have them installed when I installed either seasons or the patch, as ordered, and I made sure that they are up to date before putting them back in. I have seasons and am fully patched to 1.42. I also have every other expansion, but no stuff packs.
Thanks for any help. I read the first posts very carefully to make sure this wasn't already reported, but if I missed it, I am sorry

Yes, vanilla game entirely reinstalled from base game up when I got Seasons. No Mods at all.
I do have a few others issues as well and i'm seeing that they are pretty common. The leaves never disappear after they fall, Family member's a calling asking for dates, my married sims show they are married under relationships, but where it says they have partner and when asked about partner they have none. every sim day my sims receive at least 30 gifts that are bribes for dates. in the mail, and i can't seem to get rid of the omni plant. These as i can see are very common issues, i do have a few more but i was just wondering are most of these going to be fixed in the next patch? Also are the going to make it so supernatural sims can skate?

Pictures of my sims will be on my page
I can't move anybody into a house or lot without getting the map view with no controls.
Also when I try to play a premade, I get stuck at the map view with no controls and no way to zoom in.
Note edit: I found the error.... subject closed.
I had to add a no limos mod to help, but now, in a larger city (simskey's Paris), it's going back up again to it still picking up 6000 a day. The new overwatch quietly clears them hourly, but the longer I play, the worse this is getting.
BTW, in two days, even with overwatch before no limos mod by Nonanema, I had nearly 40,000
Sorry for the late reply (have been having trouble getting on the forum and website), I checked, and you're right, the ice cream van doesn't appear at night anymore, only during the day, and it leaves after a few hours (stays at my house from 3pm-5pm). Still not happy with this

I have a sim couple that I created after installing Seasons that are both witches. The male witch has maxed the skating skill out but when I click on the ice rink, the option to spin wasn't there at all. My sister has a save file on my computer and her sims were able to spin so it isn't a game-wide issue.
Knowing that other supernaturals can't actually skate but instead do their special run on the rink, I suspected the inability to spin might be related to his supernatural status. I used MC to change him to a human and now he can spin. Not sure if witches being unable to spin is intentional or not.
I haven't tested without mods but I can do so if you think I should.
I have Register, ErrorTrap, Traveler, Master Controller, Hybrid, Overwatch, and MC Cheats.
I posted this on Nraas' chatterbox as well and another person has said they are having the same issue.
I'd also like to point out that the Sims can AUTONOMOUSLY spin but I can't direct them to do so.
@Rusalka: Ok. Thanks
@ACEANDLADY: I don't have any other solutions than the ones listed. Sorry.
I have no info on the patch. I don't work for EA and they never give out ETA arrival but most probably only very few things will be patched as always. Since the SN thing is a feature, they are not going to patch that.
@Rubysim: You have two city halls ? No idea if that causes an issue. Only way to find out is to delete one and see if the issue persists
@Rickatl, reinmag: Yeah. Saw that Twallan said the Limo bug was back (again!). Not sure what to do about it. I can't make the people use OW.
@catalina_45: Could you elaborate for others what the cause was ?
@7frog7frog7: An existing issue. Only solution I have for this is putting Overwatch in.
@Corwim: Well, there are a few features we don't like but EA is not going to do anything about it so the only solution is a mod (yeah, I know)
@franklear1980: Do you have seasons ? What does no longer working mean ? Please also answer the questions in the second post.
@EatChees: Any mods in your game ? I'll add
@ewilson1114: I'll add that. I assume witches skate like humans (meaning no special extra feature thingy) ?

Good night, hope you sleep well.
I had an issue which I didn't see when I read through the list, except as maybe "sims get stuck very easily now". Not sure if it's the same issue, but when I que sims to interact with each other (doesn't matter which interaction), they have a very hard time going through with it. They just stand there at opposite sides of the room without moving towards each other or doing anything at all. They don't shout in frustration or cancel the action. They just stand there, with the interaction waiting...
The only way I can get sims to interact normally is if I get them really close together before giving them an interaction. They have to already be in range for the actions to trigger.
Note that there isn't anything in the way; it can be a completely empty space between them.
--- While I have mods (Twallans) installed, I moved them out of the mods folder, deleted my cashes and started a new game to make absolutely sure that they are not the cause. I also did not have them installed when I installed either seasons or the patch, as ordered, and I made sure that they are up to date before putting them back in. I have seasons and am fully patched to 1.42. I also have every other expansion, but no stuff packs.
Thanks for any help. I read the first posts very carefully to make sure this wasn't already reported, but if I missed it, I am sorry
Also it doesn't seem I can put food in my sims inventory anymore example hotdogs.
