Festivals STILL mixing!?

Cherryrose_x

Seriously, I thought this was meant to be fixed! How is my sim meant to enjoy her sakura tea when there is an observatory in her way!?



Although, she was angry before she left because people kept throwing petals at her!

I am lucky to have never once seen this issue.

I don't know why I still do.. It's rather annoying I must say!

This exact same thing happened to me! The Romance Festival was there the entire week and GeekCon was practically unusable. The only way I found to fix it was to stay til the end of the next Romance Festival (which for some reason another one spawned so there was 2 of everything) and then everything should disappear. Luckily I was playing in one of the apartments in that district at the time so it didn't matter so much having to wait til the end. But it sure is annoying having to wait out til 2am with my sims each time they visit that festival! I wish this bug would get fixed.

I’m sorry this is happening, I’ve neve read this happen either.

Thanks for the tip @hannaaj22

I just ended up leaving because it was s pointless. I'll try ck around next time she see what happens. It does really need fixing, this isn't the first time I have had it happen.

I wonder if it was ever fixed. Anyway, always stay until the festival is fully cleaned up. I added bedrooms to the karaoke bars for that reason and I usually have a couple of beds in the arts centre too. Doesn't mean nothing will overlap though, there could still be a couple of regular stalls and tables in the way, but most objects will remain usable.

This is why I just stay on the lot until it disappears

I started a fresh save for Seasons with the hope that my merging festivals would finally be fixed (like it was supposed to be with a previous patch) and so far my Spice Festival and Flea Markets are working correctly and I almost cried the first time because they have been broken since CL released and I was just so happy, lol.

My Romance and Geek festivals haven't been overlapping but the every day stalls, tables, lights and busking stations have been overlapping with each other AND those two festivals. SIGH. There just isn't any winning it seems.

Come on Gurus, this is a major feature of the CL expansion. Fix it once and for all!

CL is the worst expasion with bugs, and it needs to be fixed.

I didn't even know this one has a supposed fix I just keep my sims there until the festival ends and make sure that everything is cleared. It means that my sims don't go to the festivals as much as I would probably send them otherwise.

Although I understand this is partially unusable due to objects spawning on top of eachother, I really enjoy the concept of the festivals being smooshed together. The cool, blues and metals of GeekCon with the bright cheery pink of the Romance Festival flashing through is hectic and exciting. Instead of stopping the festivals from happening simultaneously, they should totally just have an alternate setup that is a usable version of the combined festivals.

Glad I never had anything like this in my game

It seems to be only these two festivals, specifically, because they're the only ones appearing back to back in the same square.
Basically there are three ways of dealing with this:

1. Hardcore: Never visit GeekCon
2. Live in the neighbourhood. Then the problem never happens, since you are "staying the duration of the festival" just by being on your lot.
3. Make sure you stay at GeekCon until it has completely "uninstalled" itself before going home. First time I did this I had to have a Sim napping on a parch bench the whole night. Basically make sure at least one Sim in your family has enough Energy to last past midnight without collapsing or missing work the day after.

This is why I rarely go the festivals because usually I just want to drop in, say hi, buy food and or drink, try a few things out and then just GO! I don't want to have to wait for the darn thing to end but I don't dare to leave, when I do finally go because I am afraid of getting this bug.

michelei

Thank you for all the tips. I am also still having this issue. I actually stopped going to the festivals for a time. Hopefully, they will fix it soon.

I had the bug bad and now if I go I sleep on a bench and stay to the end. Also can visit the karaoke bar while waiting. The last Geekcon I went to it rained and nothing worked but socially it was good to go.

Cherryrose_x

I agree. I had heard the stay till the end to fix it,but I just don't want to have to stsy that long! It was meant to have been fixed in a patch aggges ago.
