Sims Can’t Move In Together Anymore

[dontbugmepls]

When my sims ask another sim to move in, the screen where you can transfer sims to your household won’t close after - the buttons are all greyed out. I end up having to shut down my game and restart. This only started with the new patch & game.

Product: The Sims 4

Platform: PC

Which language are you playing the game in? English

How often does the bug occur? 100%

What is your current game version number? 1.103.315.1020

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Jungle adventure, My first pet, Luxury party, and Holiday celebration

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try to have Emmanuel Miranda join your household

What happens when the bug occurs? When I go to the split household screen I move Emmanuel to my household's side of the screen and when I press the check mark it doesn't do anything except grey out the check mark and the X button so I can't cancel the slit household screen and I can't make the changes I want to.

What do you expect to see? Have Emmanuel join my household.

Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? I don't think so. I haven't had anyone join my household since the 2 people I've already added a while ago.

My save file with the glitch 

I'm playing on PC, a laptop specifically, with Windows 10. I really want Emmanuel to join my household so I can prevent him from dying but it won't let me.

@Predisposition This is a reported bug if you try to merge households through game play. The work around is to go to map view and use the manage households option. Here's a link to the bug report, I recommend adding a Me Too to the report.

My experience: My sim was living as a tenant in a rental, moved potential love interest into adjacent rental unit, advanced friendship and romance, asked him to move in with me. Moving him into my unit had the check and X on the move household window greyed out. Moving me into his unit had the check and X active, but after doing so we swapped units, with all money (his and mine) staying with my sim. The move was done on Love Day, and Love Day also failed for me, after we had a successful date before the move.

@crinrict Thank you. I have edited my post with a link to the save.

@MapleSimmer Thank you. I hit Me Too.

this has been consistently happening in my game since the first of the two updates we got most recently. i cant get the add/merge households dialogue to show up at all. the sims just go into lagging and staring into space for about an in-game hour or two, and then my sims move on to a different action autonomously like it never happened. I opted to shift click and add to household to continue what i was working on, but after adding the sim via cheats, if i try to enter CAS or save the game, it will freeze, the audio starts looping really fast, and then crash to my desktop. i play on a gaming laptop (Windows 11).

So, my sim and his girlfriend (who is an npc) are at the point where I want her to move in with him.

When he asks her she says yes every single time which takes me to split household and move. I then transfer her onto my house hold and press the tick however the tick goes grey and nothing happens.

I've tried this multiple times over the space of a few days and it happens every time. There is only my sim and two dogs currently in my household.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Sadly having the same issue today, sims cannot move in with others. I am trying to do legacy challenge so you can see why this is frustrating. I have tried repairing the game, reinstalling it and even restarting households but to no avail. I have for rent and it may be a bug but I am playing in chestnut ridge so I am not too sure what to do in the meantime
