Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.136.1010
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Eco Lifestyle
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I tried to travel to "The Secret Lab" lot in Strangerville, the game crashed, and when I finally got the save to open again, she's never returned.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim's little icon is grayed out all the time, like she's off the lot, but she's not.
What do you expect to see? Her icon to look normal.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
I started a new save since everyone was having so many issues with their existing saves and I didn't want mine to die until you had time to fix the bugs. This sim is pretty new, but has crashed quite a few times. The last time it crashed she was traveling, but I was going with her. When I finally was able to load her again, five tries I think, she has appeared like she's not with me. I've rebooted the game to try and fix it, but it didn't work.
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title

This particular issue seems to be fixed.
If you are still having issues with greyed out Symbols, please create a new thread.
Greyed out symbols are usually a symptom with many different causes so if this occurs again, it's likely to be a new issue.
Good Luck

I’m having the same exact issue you’re having as well. Also, none of this happened until I saved and went back in. It’s the update patch that’s messing up, not us.

Merging this all with another save that seems to have the same issue after crashing
Questions for you all

I have done that didnt do anything when i move over it just says my name i can do other things but when he stands still i can hear like the icons popping on the side. Ut nothing is showing on him. The other sims are fine and normal I traveled to other locations with the female left him home and itll say care free but it wont do nothing popping up like the other times I left a sim home itll show other stuff. Before the last patch I had an error like everyone else was the 134 error where I loaded my save or continue and it qouldnt let me but that's fine now and next day after the patch this happened. I also tried different households to and see if it happened there but it was normal . I even looked up others having issues but it was years ago and I tried what they did too nothing happened.

Error Code was:
"The game failed to load. Error Code:
134:368f1773:1921c013. It is recommended that you
relaunch the game."
When I hover over the image, it just shows her name. I can click on her and make her do all interactions. I've traveled with her several times since, and even used the "Go Home" button when she was at the bar. I've also traveled to other worlds. Moving didn't fix it, either. I also ran a game repair.
