Utili-bots don't upgrade but consume parts still.

@Decinomicon Merged your post with existing report on the issue.

Before I check 62 interaction files, is cleaning the only broken upgrade option? And as for enhancing: Which levels? Is/was your sim senior member of the bot savants? Do you use the work bench to enhance your bot?

I'm actually not sure if it's a real bug, or a misinformation issue in the game. A couple of more spare mechanic parts and computerchips, than mentioned on the Bots "recipe", in the Sims inventory, and my upgrades follow through. I've only tried upgrade on Cleaning and Party Bot, both same issue. My Sims was level 10 in Robotics, and neither a Bot Savant at the time. I've used the Robotics Workbench.

The interaction you're selecting has another one as its outcome (and both use their own required ingredient list). Furthermore, the second interaction (unlike the first one) can only be performed if commodity_Bots_Enhancement is in the required range (e.g. 9.5-10.9 for level 1 to 2) - this might explain why enhancing gets aborted.

Fixed an issue in which Enhancing Utility Bots would get cancelled inappropriately.

Fixed in Patch 1.59.73

I confirm, it's fixed and if you don't see the upgrade option appear, activate the Utili-bot for a while and put it on the station.

Have fun ^^.

Not sure if this falls under the same topic but my sim won't continue tinkering at the robotics station if I switch to a different sim while he's doing it. As soon as I switch to a different sim, he cancels the action and does something else. This just started happening yesterday. Before that I had no issues with this.

@kriggin1 No, that's not the same.

This is also fixed.

There's a few things that seems to distract Sims: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-DU-CD-Pets-distracting-from-robotics-station/td-p/...

If that's not your issue, please create a new thread.

So I have an issue with servo not being able to be enhanced. I’m at the max level of the skill and have more than enough parts for the enhancement. The options remains grayed out. The amount of parts also change if you hover over the option to enhance the servo. I’m not sure if anyone has any tips on this working.

@QuietStormSimmer This was fixed a while ago.

Please make a new thread if you still have issues.
