Sims Constantly Trying to Change Phone Color

[Citysim9997]

Or just don't change the color at all, and you won't get the problem.

@RickxAbsinthe43 Ugh, YES. It sounds like a totally BS thing to even be happening and yet here we are. EA really be like "you know what sounds great? phone cases and new phone UI but let's make it 100x annoying instead". Haven't even played with the social bunny feature much too because im so done with the phone.

@Citysim9997 It's a bug I never manually change the phone case colors my sims changes it in their task menu automatically whenever I go through a loading screen.

Some things I noticed, the bug happens every time you:

- start the game
- enter and exit CAS
- travel to another world/neighborhood
- return from work

It is also related to the calendar update (the bright yellow dot), and the fact that if more than one sim lives in the house and the active one returns from work, the other sims also automatically return home from the places they were.

Not sure if it will be permanent or not, but I managed to at least temporarily get my sims to stop changing the stupid color every time they travel. I just opened the phone back up and changed the color to the first one in the upper left, and it seems to have stopped that crap. I'm hoping it is permanent, and won't glitch again unless I'm a complete idiot and try changing my phone color again. Of course this doesn't fix the issue itself, just stops the annoyances that result from it, but if it helps anyone else I figured I'd at least mention it.

Oh, hey, EA. Um.... your game is really broken. Do you think you could fix it? If not, you think you could fix my computer so that I can at least play my old outdated version that doesn't have all these issues? Sure that old outdated version has its issues as well, but at least it's playable.

Change Phone Color after queuing should no longer re-queue in the action queue after traveling, or saving and reloading the game.
