However, even with only MCCC downloaded I still have this error, where my Sim will try to retire, will be asked if I'm sure to retire, and then a lastexception error pops up. I don't know what to do. I would love some help.

It wasn't in the notes. 

 

Will leave this open for a bit to get some feedback

FYI Retiring does not work after update

★★★ Newbie

Hi Support,

 

My sim is an elderly and is trying to retire from his culinary career, but after clicking yes he just bugs up and it won't let him retire.

 

I tried reset sim name last name etc but nothing works. 

 

Just wanted to let you know to please take a look at this whenever possible. I tried resetting my game and downloading it again etc.

Hi @crinrict, I had this same error today, and I've had it with only MCCC as well as without MCCC. I tried it w/o MCCC and no CC or other mods too but my sim is still unable to retire.

  • Yes, I have tried disabling mods altogether and the Sim will still go through the process of calling their work, have the question pop up asking if I'm sure I want the Sim to retire, and then the Sim will still be employed.

Did a short test in my own game and yes, looks like a vanilla bug.

 

Attaching my LE

Re: Sim Can't Retire/ LE Generated

I am having this issue as well.

 

In case it helps, I've included my own filled out template

 

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? 100% of the time, every career I've tried when troubleshooting the issue (Diver, Doctor, Detective, Culinary)
What is your current game version number? 1.90.358.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All packs, kits, and other add-ons except HSY, which as of this posting is not yet available for me to download
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try to retire from a career
What happens when the bug occurs? When I try to retire, my sim makes the retirement phone call, I select that I would like to retire, and just as the phone call completes, my sim resets (visually, it looks like when one does "resetSim" rather than completing the animation of putting the phone away)

What do you expect to see? That my sim retires
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not currently, although I have played with mods in the past.  When troubleshooting, I replicated this on a computer on which I have never played with mods, in an old vanilla save.  I have never played with CC on either computer.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes, Tuesday's
Please describe the patch or change you made. This happened following the Base Game Update on 7/26/2022

 

I initially thought this might be because my sim who was trying to retire had "Fear of a Dead-End Job," but I replicated it in a sim who had never experienced that fear.  My sims are able to quit their jobs.  Additionally, it does not seem to be tied to a particular pack, as I tried it with IL, GTW and Base Game careers, and it has affected sims at max career level through entry career level.  I've only troubleshot this in English, but can try to replicate it in German, French, or Italian if that would be helpful. 

 

I know this isn't going to be the highest priority bug, so I'm doing my best to identify the cause as specifically as possible.

 

Merci vilmal!

Hello, just wanted to say that I have this problem as well, and I don't use any mods or cc in my games. Thanks for looking into it in the future.

Same here. Just noticed it today. They call up to retire and then the sim seems to reset and no retirement. Also I've noticed quite many new bugs, minor, but annoying.
