[FIXED] [GRO] Milestones reset for uncontrolled sim who is visited/invited etc.

[ Edited ]
★★★★★ Apprentice

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? 1.98.127.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Journeu to Batuu
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? A) Check that the first family has milestones intact, switch playing to a second family, visit the first family with the second family, travel back home, check if the first family still has milestones intact - they do not. B) Invite a sim you plaeyd earlier and who gained milestones over for a party or any kind of visit. Afterwards you will find out their milestones reseted. C) Play in a neighbourhood with festival, see some of your previously played sims visit there. Go check them and the milestones are reseted.
What happens when the bug occurs? Most of the milestones disappear and the remaining ones appear as newly added. Milestones seem to reset to the basic ones the sims are given when you start playing them.
What do you expect to see? Milestones not to disappear!
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? No

I still have problems with milestones disappearing in my game. From my experience they're related to visiting a played family with another sim (the visited family will lose milestones).

 

There's a second case of milestones disappearing when you initiate a visit for a sim you played before. Inviting them to home, party or community lot will cause the invited sim to lose their milestones. Events initiated by the game also cause milestone loss for the sim not controlled.

 

Found out a third case of the bug when my previously played sims visitied a festival on their own and that also reseted their milestones. So it seems that in some cases just appearing on the background resets the milestones, but not always?

 

All cases are listed in one report because they involve rotational play, visits and milestones disappearing from the sim who was not controlled (household not currently active) at the time.

 

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted title a bit

 

Edit By musteni: added another case example

 

Edit By musteni: added a third case and edited the title again

Re: Sims 4 growing together milestones bugged

Playing other households will no longer cause Sims to forget certain achieved Milestones. In other words, the game will neither gaslight nor gatekeep your girlboss Sims anymore.

Fixed in Patch 1.103.250/1.84

Please create a new thread if you're still experiencing this issue,

Re: [GRO] Milestones reset when visiting the household

@simsimsere If you don't switch to another family but just visit them, does it still happen ? It seems that rotational play can still cause issue so it's important to know if it's switching that's relevant or the visiting.

Personally I had no issues when simply switching to play other households in my rotation. I can't remember if visiting another household caused the currently active household to lose milestones. Might not have tested that. The issue I found is that the visited household had lost their milestones when I went back to them.

 

Edit: I tested what you asked and no, they only lost milestones in the case I described.

@simsimsere Thanks for testing. I've adjusted the title a bit to reflect that switching households is involved in your scenario and not just simply visiting another household.

Re: [GRO] Milestones reset when switching family then visiting first household

I saw that someone had pointed this out in the last thread and was curious on if it was the case or not. This seems to confirm it as well as. I play with multiple sims in my saves, all connected to each other in some way. It sucks that I can't have my sims visit their friends/family homes without worry of milestones resetting. Good to know to avoid visiting my other families if I want to keep the milestones. I hope they fix this as well...

 

Edit: It doesn't seem to affect sims who come and visit your lot (at least in my experience). I saw that milestones were resetting (though at the time I didn't realize it was due to visiting then switching to visited families). It seems that when I played with my families (not visiting the other households that I play with), they keep their milestones.

@JociaOfTrades Do you just switch families or do something else too ? There's another report here that says they disappear if you visit the household after switching: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/GRO-Milestones-reset-when-switching-family-then-visiting-first...

If you want to merge topics I don’t mind, but for me. 

I wanted a family photo with the infant. So took baby family to photo studio lot owned by another sim family. Switched to photo family. Turns out doesn’t know infant so I have him travel to their home and meet baby. Then have him travel back to photo studio and call family over. Then took their photos, sorta, no chance of getting infant to be held by mother to get the photo to work, another thing I wish would be fixed. Nonetheless after getting photos with photo family, I switch back to baby family. I bring them home and I want to practice standing. No, option. Then I want to try foods in high chair, no option. Then I look at infant’s milestones, gone. My whole weekend playing with this infant and watching them learn and grow gone. And now realize the other infant I have is also now reset.

@JociaOfTrades I looked at the second baby family. Since I didn’t visit the baby I guess, it still has its milestones. So it isn’t family switching, but family visiting.
