[FIXED] Care for self not showing up

[ Edited ]
★★★★ Novice

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? 1.52.100.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Parenthood, Dine Out, Movie Hangout and all expansions packs except Island Living
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? After age up a toddler to child (or just have a child?) and leave the lot
What happens when the bug occurs? When one of my sims leaves the children at home the lightning bolt is not there so I cannot select care for self. When I get back home their bladders are almost always at 0 and their other needs are also low. This only happened after they aged up to children.
What do you expect to see? The lightning bolt so their needs get taken care of
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made.

I aged up my twin toddlers into children, and ever since then when I leave the lightning bolt disappeared. It's still there for my other toddlers. I attached a picture of their icons.

Fixed an issue where Sims were not able to Care for Self after they had been in daycare when they were a Toddler.

Fixed in Patch 1.63.133/ Console 1.25

@carrotcookies Works fine for me. Did you delete the localthumbcache file after removing your mods/CC ?

Do you have the same issue in other households/saves ?

@xXGamingKiddoXx Do you know what you did when it started ? For me it all works fine when I test on an older save.

Would you be willing to share your save ?

@xXGamingKiddoXx and @carrotcookies : Do you also play rotationally (more than one household)? Do you have a single save or multiple saves?

 

A couple of people on LittleMsSam's Discord are also having this issue, and we're trying to figure out the exact trigger.

@crinrict it first started when I got one of my sim to travel for a night out. First began with the child sim now with all my teen sim. For a young adult, adult and elder I can manage but teens children and toddlers don’t appear.

@StarryMight I have multiple households like 8 and only one save file. Could that be the problem?

That's what we're trying to figure out...thanks for the info! Standard smile

 

BTW, we don't know for sure that's what's happening, but we're speculating that...
